Nikon Wednesday 2011: #26

<p>Hi everyone, I'm here to share one of my "photos on the go" while on vacation. My daughter & I had a rather uncomfortable trip to Europe in May. Layovers which were a bit demanding. ;-) We ended up with a layover in Amsterdam for 8 1/2 hrs & we finally managed to take the train into Amsterdam & eat a nice lunch & walk about a little. But we decided to take one of the tourist boats which traffic the canals in Amsterdam. There's a lot of them & we just grabbed the first we fell upon. Fell upon is most correct as Andrea fell asleep during the ride & I decided to pull in the D700 when I felt like I was about to drop it. Yes, camera strap around my neck, but scary anyhow.... The houseboats are boats where people live year around. They come in many shapes, colors & sizes.<br>

D700, 24-70 f/2.8, ISO 400, f/8 1/320sec. at 32mm<br>

<p>Good Wednesday morning to everyone!<br>

I missed last week's thread - again. But this time the reason was not work, but a trip to northern parts of Finland. This one is from the trip, a scene from a old cowshed.</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>My contribution this week. Made in Legoland near Augsburg, Germany.</p><div></div>

<p>Summer fun!</p><div></div>

<strong>Nikon D7000, Nikkor 18-135mm</strong></p>

<p>Morning all. Love the work posted so far.<br>

Again I found myself wondering through my recent pics looking for something interesting and hopefully technically good when I realised that what makes a truly great photo is not just the technical aspects, but the emotive part. So easy to lose sight of sometimes.<br>

From me is a not too technically great photo, but a truly meaningful one. My nephew can be quitee the poser when he wants, but I really battle to get a real smile. I managed to grab one last night while setting up to do some corporate headshots for his mom. Smiles like this are priceless.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Nikon Wednesday! My favourites so far are from Simon Jenkins - I love the composition and the clouds! Caillum Smith - that's a shot I'd love to take and Markku Vihava - wow! <br>

Mine is a sunrise picture taken last week near Dungarvan in Ireland. </p><div></div>

<p>Hi folks, it's been raining almost every week-end up here. Weekdays are great... but we have to work :(<br>

So she's working in the rain. Don't seem to bother her.</p><div></div>

I'm not happy with my D7000.<br>

Thank you,</p><div></div>

<p>

<p>Good Morning everyone<br>

Great photos as usual such a high standard ,to Rich Johnson’s Dad congratulations not only fridges that are built to last in your area, Jana Hughes your photo reminds me of those old Hollywood movies everything suggested nothing revealed, Martin Z well noticed is there a vacancy for sign writer in your area, and last but not least I am loving seeing Harry grow up thanks for sharing ,This week I have been messing about with a home made soft box old cardboard box art paper and one of she who must be obeyed old white pillow cases could not resist these two that had fallen of they bring to mind two drunken ballerinas .</p>

</p><div></div>

<p>My son is now in an indoor kart racing league. The lighting is terrible so I used an 85mm lens with a slow shutter speed (1/50) to get some decent shots.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Wednesday :)</p>

<p>Didn't get a chance to shoot this week, so posting one of my favorite from Balloon Festival in Quechee VT. This is shot with Nikon D90 and Tamron 17-50mm in Aperture mode using f/5 1/1250 ISO 400 @ 27mm</p>

<p>We sojourned the Delaware River with the Upper Delaware Conservancy to help promote this valuable resource. The Delaware is the longest undammed river east of the Mississippi, flowing freely for 330 miles as it travels from New York state, through Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware to the Atlantic Ocean and provides drinking water to approximately 15 million people.</p>

<div></div>

<p>It will be hard to top Jana's photo in the amorous-critters-from-the-deep category.</p>

<p>I was in Ottawa last week for business meetings and as usual had a Coolpix P7000 in my briefcase.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday, great Stuff everyone. Eye catchers so far: Simon, Jeanean, Markku and Hamish.<br>

Here is my contribution:</p>

<p>Happy Nikon Wednesday to everybody. With the Fourth of July celebrations upcoming this week in the USA, I wanted to share a winter image that might evoke a patriotic theme with the display of our national bird for the Fourth. Posted is an image of a wild bald eagle in Iowa as it takes flight. Falling from this mature eagle's talons is a trail of snowflakes ( I bet many of you still believe the myth that snow falls from clouds, but now you know the real source of falling snow) Nikon D300 80-400 VR lens handheld... Wishing all of you god shooting this week as well as a safe Fourth of July.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy WedNEsdAy everyone.</p>

<p>Last weekend, we visited a butterfly and bird park here at the Costa Brava (Spain). Since I borrowed my only telelens to my wife in the same place more than a year ago, and it is still glued to her D50, I'm stuck with a maximum reach of 50mm... Luckily the free flying birds are quite used to being stalked with a camera close up in their face :-)</p>

<p>Truly wonderful photos again this Wednesday morning. I have to comment on Rich Johnson's photo of his dad on his 98th BD. He looks great Rich. Looks like a great time was had by all. Thanks for sharing that photo.<br>

My shot this week is of a couple critters, maybe not from the deep, but maybe from "Deep in the heart of Texas". Some Texas Longhorns now residing 1 mile from my house in Ashland, Ohio.</p><div></div>

<p>Some really special photos today. No critters (well, a mechanical critter? don't know), but I've really been into shooting bikes and classic cars and caught this one at a recent bike show.</p><div></div>

<p>Another shot from April trip to Florida. Weekly greetings to everyone.</p>
