Nikon Wednesday 2012: #43

<p>The Upper Falls at Letchworth State Park in New York State.</p><div></div>

<p>So, hopefully, this little fellow escaped the 'big' snooze. At a trip to Morikami Gardens in WPB FL, we found this little owl in trouble, standing in a few inches of water and making only a half-hearted attempt to escape. After one, he fell face down in the mud. A kind soul rescued it (at potentially great risk to herself) and took it to a place where it can recover and grow. Didn't have time to pull up the exif but used my D7000 and 70-200 VR1 + 1.4TC. </p><div></div>

<p>Wow some very nice exposures this morning. My shot was taken actually before sunrise with a gorgeous sky this past week. Hand held the camera and hoped for the best.</p><div></div>

<p>... and falling down. Sad moment</p><div></div>

<p>The rescue</p><div></div>

<p>I lost one of my dearest friends Billy last week to cancer. This is Billy and his dearest friend Molly snoozing after a rough day. The best and sometimes the worst thing about being a photographer is the memories we create.</p><div></div>

<p>An exposure of some golden maple trees at Findley State park in NE Ohio. The leaves in my area are just about done for this Autumn. </p><div></div>

<p>Fall leaves on my back porch, from a quick photo shoot last Saturday before breakfast. Two images (one defocussed) and combined in Photoshop.</p><div></div>

<p>Can someone e-mail me instructions on how to post pictures here kwbybee@gmail.com The little picture icon just asks for a url, what ever that is. Can't we just drag and drop? Sorry for the ignorance.</p>

<p>Man on bench last Sunday</p><div></div>

<p>Happy October Wednesday, beautiful fall colors!<br>

My D800 is still at Nikon... so still shooting my "backup" UV/IR converted D7000 with filter and custom white balance. Gets to be a bit annoying... lens is 85 mm f1.4 AFS.<br>

Two cousins, a few, grey days ago.</p>

<p>Hello all Nikon lovers,<br>

No snoozing here as these images from a photo shoot on a yacht make it look like we were warping through time. Actually, the yacht wasn't moving very fast, just kept the shutter open for a bit.<br>

Nice entries today. Digging the fall colors. Down here in South Florida the biggest sign of fall is when hundreds of yachts make their way to Ft Lauderdale for the largest boat show in the world, going on this weekend.</p><div></div>
