<p>March already! Happy Wednesday, Nikon folks. Fortunate to have beautiful weather over the weekend, I spent an early morning photographing the matriarch of a Virginia family, out walking in one of the family farm's pastures. My hunting dogs were along for the outing, and the big male would normally have spent every second cruising the field's hedges. But once I walked him over to say hi to her, he simply wouldn't leave her side. He's become such a gentleman in his older years. Had your Nikon gear out in the sun? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>I would like to thank Phil, Michael, Wayne, Doug and Chris for your kind words last week. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.<br>

This week I have an exhausted surfer.</p>

<p>This weeks shot is from a class trip to the Metropolitan Museum of art. </p><div></div>

<p>Don't be scared, they're only pixels ;-)</p>

<p>Hi guys<br>

A beautiful bromeliad</p><div></div>

<p>Hard to believe it is March. Here is a shot looking across Okanagan Lake at Giant's Head Mountain. What have you been up to?<br>

Nikon F5 film.</p><div></div>

<p>I had a nice portrait session this weekend. Here's one.</p>

<p>Spring is in the air down south and that means starting the flower garden. Before planting this poppy had to get some photos.<br>

Webcor/Alto Velo's Haley Juno-Galdes and Jane Wolcott time trialing in the rain... fun!

 

 

aren't you glad you were not out riding a bike that day... it was about 40'F and snowing just 1500' higher in elevation<div></div>

<p>Again it is off to a great start.<br>

Matt another great dog shot. I love the composition.<br>

Martin Z ... a really looking portrait.<br>

Jana Hughes, your portrait is absolutely stunning.<br>

This week I have our Cat, Fluffy< playing out in the back and as she was running toward the barn she jumped up and stopped in her tracks. I'm guessing a field mouse or something else got her entire body attention. I had my Nikon D90 sitting there with a Nikon 50mm@f5.6, iso 200, full manual hand held so I popped off a couple of shots but I didn't think I could use anything as it was a little far. I cropped very severely and liked what I saw. I little sharpening and color saturation and of course some framing is all that was done.<br>

I was using the 50 as I am going to try to take a whole month with each one of my lenses to try to learn more about them. Unless I have something special to shoot.<br>

Thanks for looking.<br>

<p>Hello Nikonians! I am uploading a second picture from a series of street shots taken 2 weeks ago. Manish is a delivery boy working for a building contractor. When I asked him if he would let me take his picture, he readily agreed and posed with an attitude!</p><div></div>

<p>Nikon F2, PC-Nikkor 35mm f/2.8, Velvia 100:<br>

<p>It's been a while since I've posted anything here, but it is good to be back. This horse was a very willing subject, he even turned to his 'best side' and struck a pose for the camera! </p><div></div>

<p>Early morning</p><div></div>

<p>Well, I wanted to go with Matt's suggested theme of the week, but about the only sun we've had around here lately has been liquid. So I went to the well and pulled this shot from last summer's file: a little blondie at a concert in the park. The music was good, but her youthful romp in the sun was way better.</p><div></div>

<p>Road and light.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday to all.<br>

My contribution for this week is a spontaneous family shot. </p><div></div>

<p>Morning all. Awesome pics once again. Dan ,did you use a ringlight for that shot? Truly awesome.<br>

This is from a portrait session I did a few weeks ago. Sad thing is until I've saved up for a new camera, I'm only shooting Nikon on loan. But I'm shooting Nikon.</p><div></div>

<p>ahh Wednesday.</p>

<p>D300 18-70mm Nikkor</p><div></div>
