Nikon Wednesday 2012: #7

<p>Brrrr! <br>

The weather turned very cold for this time of year a few days ago in South Alabama, which caused me think back to August of last year. Although winter in Australia, the weather was beautiful. That is where I captured this photo. <br>

It's from the Cunningham Pier, Geelong, Victoria, Australia. The Cunningham Pier area is a photographers paradise. So many things to photograph. A thunderstorm had just passed and you can see the aftermath in the shot. </p>

<p>Here is mine for the week. It's another, somewhat unusual, angle of a Christmas cactus flower. Hope you like it. Nikon D700 + nikon 105mm macro D.</p><div></div>

<p>Matt Laur - sweeeet. Did you find a happy home for that fine glass of bourbon when you were done photographing it?</p>

<p>There is no place better to shoot sports action photos at the Olympic Games. I've been to 16 Olympics and offer up a shot a closing ceremony that I caught with my Nkion300.<br>

<p>My feeble try of a product shot of my bookmark. No flash, no nothing used.</p>

<p>Gorgeous shots everyone . Thanks for commenting on my photo last week.<br /> A couple of weeks ago, I posted the monarch caterpillar and hoped to watch the metamorphosis. I did not find the chrysalis early enough to watch the entire process.<br /> I missed the actual emergence, but did get a shot of the newly emerged monarch drying its wings with the chrysalis next to it.<br /> Hope you enjoy</p><div></div>

<p>Hmm, here is the photo...</p>

<p>next try :)</p><div></div>

Rufous Hummingbird. D700, 300 mm.<div></div>

<p>Some sort of a raptor. Nikon D200, 70-200mm f/2.8 VR (I).</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots from all. I specially like the sentinel and the hummingbird.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>This my contribution for this week.<br>

Nikon D300 and 16-85 mm VR @ 16 mm, f/5, 1/100, ISO 1600</p><div></div>

Wow. Snow. Amazing what 2 inches of it can do for a otherwise dull photograph

Never had this much of a problum. Photographer yes, computer person not yet.

<p>Submitting a bit late today as I've been under the weather with the crud. So many great shots thus far. I attended a Valentine's event as a guest of my 80 year-old Mom at her church last Sunday evening and captured her with one of her best friends. That's my Mom on the left.</p>

<p>I'm a bit in a hurry so I'll check the thread later to check your work.</p>

<p>Mine is no more than a frame out of a test I did with tethered and timelapse shooting. It was actually nice to see an onion change into a plate of pasta :-) Didn't bother to decorate it though (too hungry).</p>

<p> D90 with Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 tethered to laptop.</p>

<p>Great photographs again. Jeannean, another crisp, bright photo. Are there a lot of insects where you live?<br>

Joe Elrod: very crisp photo. Doug Santo, great hummingbird shot. Rick Dohme: wow!<br>

This is a photo of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse near Half Moon Bay. Taken in the pre-dawn</p>

<div></div>

<p>WOW, what a gallery this week! Amazing stuff. My contribution is another shot from my Woodbridge River series that I've been working on, Nikon D200, pretty sure 180mm and ISO 125. Happy Wednesday everybody.</p><div></div>

<p>Harlequin drake and hen.</p><div></div>

<p>just got in here is the photo that should have been on page three though the standard is so good this week that I will hid behind my keyboard this as mentioned before is a photo that is trying to be a watercolour have a good week and glad to see harry is taking the odd rest</p><div></div>

<p>Wow, too many great photos today. Too many of you have the time on your hands for this, wish I did. Jeannean and <br />Roberta D, the butterfly photos are nothing short of beautiful, great work. This is just some pansies still alive, and thought I'd get a shot of them before the inevitable comes.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone! Great pictures as always. My favorites this week:<br>

Simon J's portrait (those eyes!)<br>

Jens's harbour<br>

Tor's portrait of his son</p>

<p>I'm on leave this week, so have had lots of long dog walks with the children who are also on holiday. The snow has now gone, but there was still some lingering on the higher ground at the weekend. Here's another picture of my eldest daughter on one of our favorite walks........</p><div></div>
