Nikon Wednesday 2012: #3

<p>Let me try this again -- Here is picture</p><div></div>

<p>Out for a hike and loved the look of these leaves.</p>

<p>Ok lets try this again.</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Mates</strong></p><div></div>

<p>Looks like 'Try again Wednesday' for some of us!<br>

Pachinko Parlour, Nagoya, Japan. <strong>Nikon D200, 50mm f1.4: 1/400, f1.4</strong></p><div></div>

<p>Our Lady of the Angels, los Angeles. D700, 24 mm.</p><div></div>

<p>What an amazing variety of quality work! Inspiring.<br>

I don't get out much any more because of health issues, but the last time Lovely Wife and I went on a local photo excursion, I took a few shots of this heron on the Indian River Lagoon in Melbourne, Florida.<br>

When I got the pics on the computer, I loved how the intense light glaring off the water gave the photos of this guy a dreamy quality.<br>

Nikon D90 with 18-200mm lens @90mm; f/22, 1/400s, ISO 200<br>

<p>My contribution was made (if I remember it right) with Nikon D200, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 wide open.</p>

<p>Hope I'll get it right this time.</p><div></div>

<p>I rode downtown late Sunday to catch Shockoe Hill Cemetery when the sun was low in the sky -- it has a way of accenting the carving, and sometimes makes unreadable inscriptions legible. Mostly, I just froze my tail off, because it was really cold...</p><div></div>

<p>Sometimes, I question my qualifications for even posting to this forum. The contributions appear to be way over my skill level!! My entry was taken at a local car show last fall.</p><div></div>

<p>Mickey, When I first started posting to this thread one of the questions I asked was "are the photos entered, juried". If they would have said "yes" I would have turned and ran the other way. By the way the photos of the old Ford or Merc are great. </p>

<p>Went out to get some pictures of ice crystals one morning and got a flock of canada geese taking off into formation over my head :)</p><div></div>

<p>Nice work everyone! My friend was testing his new f-100 video camera at Bronson cave in Los Angeles. The cave is the original Bat-Cave from the TV series Batman. My buddy was trying to figure out what lenses to use with his new camera and I convinced him that Nikon was great with a sweet range of manual primes in the same mount, he agreed. I decided to go with him and have some fun myself. I used two SB-900's white balance was set to tungsten so I corrected the key light and let the background light go. Nikon D700 and Zeiss ZF 50mm 1.4 at f/5.6 Have a great Wednesday everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>Hi folks! Beautiful shots again from everyone. This one was shot through our living room window one morning before heading out to work.</p>

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

<p>Wow. So many beautiful photographs this morning. A few favorites: Mikhail, Bogdan, Michael Mixon. And John Rowsell, I love the "sauce"!</p>

<p>We spent part of the MLK, Jr. holiday at the Arboretum. My family has been in Texas since the 1850s, so I'm always drawn to the educational section with the sod house and log cabin. This is the rope bed from inside the sod house. </p><div></div>

<p>Wonderfull work this week all. I really like John Rowsell's Corgies and Bogdan's future photographer and model My contribution is a low tech skate sail.</p><div></div>

<p>Some amazing stuff once again!</p>

<p>I've kept it sweet this time. Not one single truffle survived the shoot :-)<br>

D90 with Tamron 17-50 and off-camera flash with 1/4 CTO.</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday!</p>

<p>Rene, nice, why so "koi"? :) Simon Jenkins, love that one.</p>

<p>Rain and sleet have turned the outside here to a yucky mess, so here is a shot from oru warm living room. Leo, not so aptly named after his African cousins who have to be more than cute to get food, is relaxing, which he does 90% of the time (the other 10% are spent chasing after... anything)</p>

D7000, 105 Micro VR, edited on the iPad (original is pretty sharp)</p>

<p>Wintery weather continues, yesterday we got more snow and there was a blink of sunlight through the clouds this afternoon.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Everyone, I sat down to make a list of my favorites this week...there are so many: Just to mention a few--Lorne, Bill, Simon, Chris, Michael, Rick, Doug, Roberta. I hope everyone has a good week. My shot for the week is of an old hand-drill on my workbench.<br>

<p>Simply too many great photos today. This is a picture of my late cat, Jinx. Shot this with a friend's D70 a number of years ago. Don't remember the exposure or lens. Jinx is now frolicking at the Rainbow Bridge.</p><div></div>

<p>Here is mine for the week. My Youngest daughter was walking up to me as I was laying on the floor taking pics. Just happened to catch this pic. Going to have this one printed and framed for my wife. </p><div></div>

<p>Well, like Ron, I also was checking out the Bald Eagles in NW Washington, but I went on a boat trip down the Skagit River. My shot is of a molting juvenile who watching us pretty intently.<br>
