<p>A good Wednesday to you, Nikon People. We've been on a weather roller-coaster in our area the last few weeks, with lots of moisture. On mornings when the temperature's been just right here in the Potomac River valley, we've had the perfect fog machine in place. On an early morning heading back from some work, I couldn't stop myself from grabbing the camera bag from the car when I saw an empty parking structure wholly gobbled up by a thick fog bank. It was blissfully peaceful, and I found myself fixated on The Exit. Been socked in somewhere with your Nikon gear? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone…..<br /> Thank you for your comments on my portrait last week. More than me, the girl on the shot was very happy about it…..</p>

<p>Last night while watching TV I look through the window and II thought this was a good shot to take….</p>

<p>Since I don't have anything close to a telescope I did what I always do when shooting the moon, stacking teleconverters. Not the best way to do it but the best way available….</p>

<p>D300 - TC17 II - Kenko 1.5x MC DG - AFS 300 f/4</p>

<p>Cheers!!!</p><div></div>

<p>Decided to take my camera to work today but couldn't find the right photo. Then on my way home my daughters were walking ahead. Shot with D300 and Lensbaby composer set to f/4 and ISO 400. converted to black and white with lightroom 3</p><div></div>

This 105 VR is one <strong>sharp</strong> piece of glass. I have other shots where his dog-tag is flipped, and not only is the engraved name and phone number clearly visible, but the depth in the engraving is obvious. I'm impressed.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

thank you very much for the comments on my photo last week.<br>

This week a vivid one from my recent shoot. <br>

Have a nice week and I look forward to your photos.<br>

Nikon D700, 24-70mm f/2.8@ISO 200, f/8, 1/200s</p><div></div>

<p>Hiked up to Chasm Lake at around 11,700 feet, just below the "Diamond" of Long's Peak (Colorado) last Saturday. The reflections in the water caught my eye. Nikon D90, Tamron 17-50 lens at f/22, ISO 200, three shots on a tripod.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Wednesday to you all!<br>

Since Matt started out with the East Coast fog, here is a sample of fog from the West Coast -- more specifically, from the Lost Coast area, Wildcat Road, about 25 miles south of Eureka, CA. I must confess that the fog is from the last month, but I am sure that it's not any different from the fog there any day -- it is a fog-rich area!</p><div></div>

Not sure what kind of bird this is but he was sure fun to shoot.<div></div>

<p>Sunday in the park, temperature was 25 C with the sun shining, so we were not really <br />"socked in"</p><div></div>

<p>Water balloon toss, employee picnic. I thought the range of emotions in this image was amusing.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday all.<br />'Morning Haze'</p><div></div>

<p>here's mine for the week... taken this weekend<br />I've already enjoyed the submissions from others very much...<br />Chris Court -- great dog photo<br />Matt -- where is the dog in YOUR photo? really great photo otherwise :-) amazed at how you can make such a great photo from a boring subject. :-) good job!<br />Bill -- people like you are why I've given up on macro photography<br />Jose -- simply brilliant! I would never have thought to take such a photo.<br />Robert -- some photos, you had to be there to appreciate it... I wish I was there, and I'm lovin' it even not being there! upROARious!<br />looking forward to the rest of the photos from our awesome crew!</p><div></div>

<p>My contribution this week is an old photo of Fall foliage on Kancamangus Hiway, New Hampshire. New Englad is now awashed in brilliant colors like those in this photo. I am now about 3000miles across the country in the West Coast. I miss the foliage very much and vow to return next year for the season.</p><div></div>

<p>If you are in the market for a new Non La, then I know the lady</p><div></div>

<p>Went to the park for a walk last night. Finally cooled down in the 60's. Caught a glimpse of this wild rabbit as I walked towards my car. Slowly got close and watched him eat. He kept a close watch on me also. Got a few shot before he took off.<br /> Nikon D3, Nikon 300 2.8, 1/100 SS, ISO 1,000, F/2.8</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday Nikonians! <br>

This week I experimented with a crystal glass and some water and here is the result. It is almost straight from camera with minimal post processing.<br>

<p>Greetings! I'm getting psyched for the Head of the Charles Regatta in a couple of weeks, so here's a preview. Nikon D300, 70-300VR lens, @ 70mm, 1/10s., f4.5 "panning experiment". Cheers! Where's that photo? I got a "success" confirmation of the upload. May have to repeat.</p>

<p>Good Wednesday all. Kind of crappy weather this past weekend, so kitten pics were in order.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Nikonistas,<br /> One from a couple of weekends ago. A 'Mega' (very rare visitor...fourth in the UK, first on the Main land) bird visited our area. Usually found in the US/Canada & NE Siberia this guy got a little lost and came for a visit to the UK.<br /> <a href="../photo/14342633"></a><em><strong><a href="../photo/14342633">D40X (50-500mm F/4-6.3G) 500mm, F/6.3 @ 1/200s, ISO 400</a><img src="../photo/14342633" alt="" /></strong></em></p><div></div>
