<p>Happy Wednesday, Nikonistas. In an effort to break away from the Turkey-related leftovers this evening, it was roasted peppers out on the grill, soon to be peeled, sliced, denched in olive oil, and part of a fine Mediterranean style meal. A nice change of pace from the usual North American autumnal harvest fare. So, of course, I had to get a picture. The early evening light, fast fading, called for a wide aperture and a steady hand. Shot some food? Share</p><div></div>

Thanks to Lisa E and Chris Wick for your kind words last<br />week. Many fine shots last week making my favorites very difficult to select. I<br />felt emotionally driven by the photos from, David Janson, Doug Santo, Jose<br />Curiel, Michael Ferron, Rene’, Chris Court, and last but not least, Michael<br />Mixon as having grown up in the Santa Cruz Mountains I could all but smell the<br />peatmoss!<br>

<br /><br /><br>

I played around with and abstract this week. D300s 35 1.8<br />and quite a bit of tweeking in pp.<br>

<br /><br /><br>

Good Day!</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots already. Today I am submitting a composite. I photographed my girls at dance class and decided they needed a background that would help them stand out. Using Lightroom 3, I B&W a river scene and placed them along the banks. All photos taken with my D300</p>

<p>We were at some friends' house for Thanksgiving and they asked if I would take a group photo of their six dogs (all gals by the way). So here are Maggie, Brandy, Gizzy, Addison, Boo, and Lexi. They were kind enough to sit for a minute while I took a some shots.</p><div></div>

Have to resubmit.<div></div>

<p>Good Wednesday, everybody! It is still Tuesday in California, and we already have several great shots here. <u submission is the shot of one of my two favorite models, the cat. </p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Nikonistas,<br>

What a marvellous selection that has been posted already!<br>

I've gone lazy...stuck on the Tigers at the moment. This guy looks like it's having a relaxing bath...<br>

<p>Street fashion.</p><div></div>

<p><img src="../photo/14537534" alt="" />Some amazing shots already. I was invited to a birthday party on this past week-end and when I was getting ready to leave, I noticed some crazy light patterns on the glass of the front door - they were coming from Christmas lights outside the house. It was handheld with my ISO boosted to 400. </p><div></div>

<p>Balmy weather in Southern California is ideal for Jaspanese kois to flourish. Schools of kois of different varieties are always distracting people from shopping at Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach, CA. Their vibrant colors and graceful motion are enjoyed by people of all ages.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday all and thanks to those who noticed my photo last week.<br />From the coast a few days ago.</p><div></div>

<p>Posting in WedPic after a hiatus of a month. I took this photo last Sunday at a small hill resort called Mt Abu, in Rajasthan, India. The lady seen here is a native Rajasthani woman, standing in front of her house, with her dog standing by. It was a fleeting moment, as the dog immediately turned his attention to some other activity.</p>
