Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #45

<p>Congrats Tiffany—beautiful picture!</p>

<p>For once I have something pretty close to Matt's theme. This is talented St. Paul, Minnesota photographer Crystal Liepa checking a shot list with the bride. Crystal is a big Nikon fan, but for this job she was using a Canon 5D.</p>

<p>D700, 24-70 @ 38mm, ISO 2000, 1/50 @ f/4.</p><div></div>

<p>Went for a drive along the coast this past Sunday and came across this scene -</p><div></div>

<p>From Mystic Seaport</p><div></div>

<p>a bit of a workout for me, chasing a 4-year-old on a bicycle, but i managed to grab a handful of nice photos. here's one...</p><div></div>

<p>I've been away for a while. We just moved into our new neighborhood, in suburbia and are settling in. I still haven't set up the B&W darkroom but will get around to it once we finish painting the rooms in the house. Here is my contribution to this weeks NikWed pics.</p>

<div></div>

<p>Ohhh, I forgot .............<strong>Congratulations, Tiffany!</strong></p>

<p>My image this week was taken with my Nikon D200, 200-400mm f4 lens. Specs. were, ISO 400, f6.3 @ 1/60 second. I also used a Nikon 1.4 TC. The Elk image was taken in Cataloochee Valley, NC. The Elk are wild and free to roam the valley.</p><div></div>

<p>Fill the frame ..... with a pug! Shot with a D40. <br>

Happy Wednesday everyone. Great photos as always. </p><div></div>

<p>Lady from the local market - she was one big smile until I lifted the camera. Yes no dental care company would use her as a model -:)</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks to Jamie Harre for her kind comment last week (and maybe to Benjamin S - when people compliment "Doug" I always assume it is Doug Santo - for obvious reasons:)<br />Wonderful contributions this week.<br />My favorites so far:<br />Allan A.<br />Jana H.<br />Tony H.<br />Phil B.<br />Chris S.<br />Jennifer M.<br />Kris H.<br /><br />My photo this week is similar to Wayne's. It was the second shot I made with my new 70-300 VR, which I love! (D90)</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots as always. Love the orbs Jeff - very cool.</p>

<p>I found a great deal on my dream lens - a 70-200mm f/2.8 VR used in mint condition (it took a 3 hour round trip to get but was worth it.) Haven't had time to play too much with it but I took the kids for a hike on the weekend. I boosted them up onto a cedar that was split and made a nice platform for them.</p>

<p>What I do on dull days.</p><div></div>

<p>They say you're never more than 10 feet away from one.......</p><div></div>

<p>I love Wednesday Pics day! I'll have to look more carefully at all the beautiful pictures later. I have another busy day ahead of me. I took this at the zoo last week. The zookeepers were working in another area with two juvenile lions and that caught the attention of these two lionesses. I think I was shooting through a window so there are some odd reflections.</p><div></div>

<p>Another shot from a fall visit to Olympic National Park. Lake Crescent is just west of Port Angeles, Washington. Nikon D80 Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8; ISO100; tripod.</p><div></div>
