Nikon Wednesday 2011: #28

<p>Slate Run, Pa.</p><div></div>

<p>This years twin fawns are getting more comfortable and daring in their surroundings and we now see them daily if only from the safe cover of ferns.</p><div></div>

<p>I saw this woman walking last Sunday morning here in Milwaukee. Don't know where she was going but I silently wished her luck.</p><div></div>

<p>Osprey - Hope you enjoy. Nikon D700 + Nikon 20-700mm VR I and 2x teleconverter.</p><div></div>

<p>Great Shots thusfar, as always. Motion Capture of Purple Martin looks eerily like a stealth fighter.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone. This shot is from our local wildlife refuge. A couple of bucks in velvet.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday,</p>

<p>Wow everyone has great pictures as usual. I am really impressed by Bill's capture of the egret and the dragon fly. I took this picture at this years Manawa Rodeo. D90, 50-200 F/4-5.6G. @ 165mm f5.3 1/640s.</p><div></div>

<p>Along the river in Harrisburg PA this past weekend</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Bill, Judd, Christopher, Sanford, Jennifer, Robert, Le, Aguinaldo, John, Kent, Tim</strong>...great stuff!</p>

<p>Mine is a cliche shot of some old pottery in window light.</p><div></div>

<p>Bill, did that Egret snag the dragonfly off it's perch? (I see part of the stick and it's position is perched.) Stealthy egret! ;-)<br>

John, that is a funny looking bull! lol</p>

<p>Wonderful shots, everyone !! Bill wonderful capture . Matt, Kent and John love the fog shots.<br /> John F , like your flower shot . Not a waste of time IMHO !<br>

John Harper, wonderful shot, you can see the focus and intensity in the eyes , great capture.<br>

So many marvelous shots, wish I had time to comment on all of them.</p>

<p>My shot is a female eastern forktail damselfly portrait.<br /> D7000 105mm micro with extension tube</p><div></div>

<p>Taken last week in New Bern N.C</p><div></div>

<p>I tried messing around with HDR and not wanting the all out eerie look. I actually like all the looks one can get from HDR. Taken with my Nikon D 90 and Sigma 24-70 lens.<br>

<p>Happy Wednesday all!</p>

<p>My niece (7) having some summertime fun in Uncle Mike's <a href="../photo/4787331">cedarstrip canoe</a> last week.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings all. Again I get to enjoy a varied and eclectic mix of photography. Love wednesday just for that.<br>

Decided to get out for a bit last sunday and did a steam train excursion. The drive and commitment of these enthusiasts is incredible. But I must say there is something about a steam engine that elicits an emotional reation. Such a sense of power and purpose.</p><div></div>

<p>Church of the Ascension, Sierra Madre, CA. D700, 14 mm.</p><div></div>

<p>An Old Fashioned on the 4th of July.<br>

<p>Many cool images as usual. Wandering around a rose garden with my '64 F/Tn and 85f/1.8.</p><div></div>

<p>Last week on July 3rd we had a terrific storm move through Arlington and Washington DC.<br>

As the storm moved from behind me and down the Potomac river you could see boats racing down the river to safety. I was at a wonderful vantage point on the roof at Top of The Town in Arlington waiting for a bridal party to arrive as the storm moved through downing trees and cutting power. The only elevator lost power while I was taking these photos trapping some of the wedding guests for a few minutes. When the storm hit the building the windows were awash with rain and I couldn't show the more dramatic clouds. Stepping outside with the lightning wasn't a wise option. The storm blew through very quickly and we were able to get pictures of the bride and groom with the sunset clouds behind them as well as the Washington Mall.</p><div></div>

<p>Summer fun:<br>

D700, 1/250, ISO200, f6.3, sigma 20 1.8, SB-28 at 1:1 triggered trough softbox right with phottix strato.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi! I am just going to jump right in :). <br>

my daughter wanted to have her pictures taken and we were having a lovely day - until the photo shoot. The clouds rolled in and I had to hike my ISO up so it came out a bit grainy, I am still so in love with the shot though. I rarely "do" portraits mostly nature so this is WAY out of my league.</p>

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

<p>Lots of beautiful pictures this week. John Farrar: I love your daisies. That was time well spent. :)</p>

<p>I've had a busy week and so I haven't done much picture-taking. This is a quick snapshot of my son, who was supposed to be finishing a school assignment. (We homeschool and he has dawdled over American Lit this year.) I came around the corner and found him playing games on his iPod instead. The punishment? No dunce cap, but I do have a camera. ;) Honestly, it's been so hot that we all are very unproductive and I understand the temptation.</p><div></div>

Been a while since my last submission. Got this Lionfish while diving Curacao.<div></div>
