Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #30

<p>Happy Wednesday all. Sometimes I just make snaps of anything in my normal day to day affairs. There is no great thought or purpose in mind, just a documenting of something that caught my attention. So here's my kitchen counter one morning shot with the D200 and probably my usual 28-80 Tamron SP (circa 1980s) or possibly a Nikkor 28 AF-D before it decided to expire.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello all. once again, wonderful submissions. I love wednesdays just for this.<br>

From my side, a pic from the park a few weeks ago, seeing as I'm without camera. (it has a new home with a young lady called Janine. She's around here)</p><div></div>

<p>Ricky-Tick Big Band on Friday at Pori Jazz. Didn't really have much choice in terms of camera position due to being in the audience but it was fun to take pictures nonetheless and a very enjoyable concert.</p><div></div>

<p>@Vince: This roll was developed by lab and I don't have developing data and chemicals info right now. I scanned this film with Nikon Coolscan 9000ED as monochromatic 16bit TIF image file, adjust levels and curves in PS, brush the dust spots away and that's about all. One specific thing about this film is that due to given low light conditions I had to underexposed the film a bit and the negative looks thin, not very good for wet printing but works well for scanning.</p>

<p>Here is mine for this week....lots of good shots as always on here!!!!</p><div></div>

<p>A mosquito with little tick maybe.</p><div></div>

Yet another bug shot<div></div>

<p>Many thanks to Eric Blair for commenting on my photo last week.</p>

<p>Just back from a trip to the ruins of a medieval priory, where some local artists were doing sketching and painting. As usual in the English summer, it started to rain, so here's my candid portrait of the event (in one case, at least).</p><div></div>

<p>Almost missed this Wednesday, way too busy with the Hippalot art festival for kids that we're organizing at work...</p>

<p>So this one was actually shot couple of weeks back, found this burned and broken wooden toy car from the parking lot of deserted shopping mall.</p>

I just had bad day my car's radiator blew up on my way from work to pick up my broken computer from the repair.<br>

Anyways I am glad I get to post something. I took this last Saturday at the local Civil War Fair in Glenview, IL</p><div></div>

<p>This year's local festival featured a group of dirtbike stunt riders. These guys were seriously-legit professionals doing highly technical and risky tricks. They let me get inside the fence where I was, at some points, directly beneath the stunt-jump area. It was an awesome experience.<br>

<p>Always love taking the time to view everyone's fabulous contributions. Didn't happen upon any mundane creatures this week, but there are certainly many busy bees out! An incoming bee wasn't bothered by me in the slighest: </p><div></div>
