arun_seetharam Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>This was a pet Macaw, a very noisy fella. Watching him sunning himself and preening his colorful feathers triggered a reflex action in me to get my weapons. And shot him......D90, 105mm micro AF-D, 1/640, f8, ISO 200. I dunno why, I always loved the AF-D version is far better than the AF-S version. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thadley Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p><img src="../photo/15216468" alt="" />Lovely images. Mine is a macro of some ice. I duplicated the image converted it to B&W and then brought back the color of everything that was not ice. Photoshop CS5. Manfrotto tripod, a good pair of gloves, long johns and a safe area of ice - even if it broke through, there was no danger.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisae Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>As usual, I love all the different types of images presented here. Three favorites today: Bogdan Nicolescu, Gej Jones, and Don Harper. </p> <p>Thanks to all of you who gave me advice about the D7000 recently. It performed very well for me over the weekend at the gymnastics meet. While waiting for our Acro exhibition performance, I shot this picture of one of the elite athletes on Saturday night.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graneenie Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Always love seeing everyone's work! My favorite this week is John Rowsell's portrait of Hattie....what an adorable dog. The lighting was beautiful! My photo this week is of two unusual manekins I saw at a flea market I felt like if I waited long enough they would come to life!!</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finimage Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 God kveld Nikon folk. We're still sitting Quayside in Norway...preparations continue for a summer in the North Sea. Cut off from my supply of images I've had a guddle in a hard drive I have with me with some favourites. This one is of our old girl Maddie back in 2009...one of those favourites that got tucked away. The DOF is off, her nose is blurred but it focuses you in on her eyes...where the dream was in full flow! Great selection guys...brightened up the end of my 12hr shift. Keep em coming! <p><a href="../photo/15222094"><strong>D40X Sigma 150mm f/2.8 @ 1/500s, ISO 200</strong></a><img src="../photo/15222094" alt="" /></p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplealien Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Happy Wednesday everyone. I really enjoyed all the pictures this week, but my favorite three are the landscapes by Simon J, John F and Ray RG.</p> <p>Here is a quick portrait I took of one of my daughter's little friends visiting for a play date using window light and bounced fill flash.......</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_mandell Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Haven't posted in a while, but was going through some of last year's tiff's for processing. This was our vacation beach in Antigua one morning as the sun just popped over the hills to my left.<br> D-700, 24-85 Nikkor @ 24mm f/13, 1/650th ISO 1200.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karissa_walker Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Great fun looking at everyone's shots this afternoon. Have to make mention of a few of my favourites. Loved the lighting in Matt Laur and Janne Kaakienen's portraits of their dogs. Also loved the lighting in Michael Nixon's photo too but have to give extra kudos for managing to capture the shot while holding your son :) . Bogdan Nicolescu: it was the eerie atmosphere in the work that really grabbed me. Really liked the sculptural quality of Larry Dunn's fountain and the unexpected in Dennis Brabender's capture of wolves in the cemetary. I've been working on still life lately. Wanted to try to capture an impression of the flow of movement I always feel with calligraphy in my arrangement of pen and inks. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryfrankelphotography Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Aloha Nikonians,<br> Dropped by the local bowling alley for this grab shot. Decided to use my 12-24 which has been idle for some time. Converted to b&w in PS.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
