Nikon Wednesday 2012: #9

<p>Good Wednesday all. I use cats for experimental work.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi everyone, this is a picture of some kids chasing bubles in Guadalajara Mexico</p><div></div>

<strong>D7000 Sigma 50-500mm f/4-6.3, ISO 1600 1/160s f6.3</strong></p>

<p>This week I have chosen a ram's head with a runny nose. Decolorized all but the head. I like the patina. Can anyone guess what it is from?</p><div></div>

<p>Must give a shout out to Chris Speaker's Woodland bird, very nice. This photo is from Las Vegas D700 and 50 1.4 <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/15246752-md.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>They are still around here - may be a little polishing would do</p><div></div>

<p>Not testing a new technique here, but a new model. Think I should use her again? I sure do.</p><div></div>

<p>My contribution this week is not exactly made in postproduction but it differs from the usual pictures so I hope you will like it anyway. This photo is part of my series of deliberately unfocused and overexposed pics. I am just trying to make some abstract pictures studying how much one can omitt in the picture and the motive is still recognizable.<br>

Made with Nikon D300s, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR (I), defocused and overexposed at least 1 stop.<br>

Would like to read your comments.<br>

Thanks for looking, Miha.</p><div></div>

<p>Bill, could it possibly be sitting on the hood of a 1951 or a 1952 model of a Dodge Coronet?</p>

<p>Am determined to learn use of flash for macro in remote places; this is the start. Yes I should have used a tripod, but don't have one that would have got as high as this lichen. SB600 on camera, pointed vertically and diffused.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken yesterday.<br>

This is Ilhéus, Brazil.<br>

thank you for looking.</p><div></div>

<p>Just a quick grab of this colourful display of balloons. Strange, you'd think these street events would be full of great photo opps, but I usually come away disappointed. Anyhow, here's one of the better shots.</p><div></div>

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

<p>Past Sunday went to cemetery to capture owl, I did find an owl but shot didn't come out as nice as I thought of as well as owl was hiding in the tree and I was short of focal length, btw, i was using 70-200mm with 1.7x. Anyway, I did get nice picture of nut hatch and one woodpecker. This week submitting an image of nut hatch.</p>

<p>Amazing shots! <strong>Chris</strong>, my absolute fav so far. <strong>Mircea</strong>, nice, taking the "shoot" literally? Hope it wasn't loaded.... :)<br>

Not much to do outside here - wet, cold, cloudy. SO I am playing around with photoshop and some crude symbolism.. sorry, that's all I got.</p><div></div>

<p>A fence with frost.</p><div></div>

<p>Loving all the variety of subjects, especially the dogs and birds! <strong>Chris Court</strong>, you were my inspiration to try macro photography, so I'm especially fond of your dragonfly. :) Happy Hump day! (D90/Sigma 150mm @ 1/200, f/10, ISO 200)</p>

<p> I got the opportunity to take pics of two 7 wk old Owlets. They along with mom and dad live in the wild about 4 miles from my house. I was there Monday with around 10 other photographers enjoying their family life in a huge oak tree.Nikon D3x, Nikon 300 2.8, Nikon TC-20E III, 600mm, F/5.6, 1/500 sec, ISO 200, SB 900 flash</p><div></div>
