Nikon Wednesday 2012: #36

<p>From the Toronto International Air Show.</p><div></div>

<p>I collected these leaves fallen from a Paulownia tree this morning. The change of seasons is starting.</p><div></div>

<p>This is one I took just for playing around with. I will say that as it gets larger it does look better at least to me. <br />I cropped this from a Pano that was also an HDR and then used some PP on it with the oil paint filter on CS6.<br>

Taken with my Nikon D90 and a 70-200 Sigma lens on a tripod.<br>

<p>This is a detail of a 1930's Lancia as it looks in color today and how it historically would have looked in B&W if the picture had been taken back then.</p><div></div>

<p>Next one</p><div></div>

<p>Meadow and old truck. D700, 14 mm.</p><div></div>

<p>My attention was drawn to this boat by another snapper who must have taken several dozen shots of the back of it looking out to sea. For the life of me I couldn't see the attraction of that angle, so here's my take on it (top).</p>

<p>D800 + Tamron 28-75mm SP. 1/500th @ f/8 and 100 ISO.</p><div></div>

<p>The best I could do from the other photographer's angle is my second picture.</p><div></div>

<p>The Nanchong (502), being towed Aug. 16 from the Qingdao Naval Museum to be scrapped. The ship played a key role in the March 1988 clash with Vietnam over Johnson Reef in the Spratly Islands. Not a technically or aesthetically brilliant picture, the haze was rather thick, but a bit of history caught.</p><div></div>

<p>Parasail Boat, Qingdao, China.</p><div></div>

<p>Love seeing more shots from everyone!<br>

Last week was spent dealing with Hurricane Isaac . Fortunately loss of a few bushes /small trees and no power for 6 days were all we had to experience.<br>

So, my shots are <br>

1. The only way to deal with the hurricane and no electricity - wine and a flashlight<br>

2. A very wet and disoriented juvenile white ibis who ended up in my yard.</p>

<p>The wet Ibis</p><div></div>

<p>In Mobile, Alabama-USA ... not much sunshine, but no heavy-duty rain either... The New Orleans post-hurricane situation seemed to have a negative impact on railroad traffic.</p><div></div>

<p>One image of the new museum (along the Mobile River) under construction in downtown Mobile, Alabama.</p><div></div>

<p>Along Water Street in downtown Mobile, Alabama, USA. CSX Engine No. 4010 leading a train south, with the *under construction* new museum in the background.</p><div></div>

<p>A good start to the Wednesday and the three image idea is great. Spring officially arrived in the Southern hemisphere and I managed to get this shot of the clivias this afternoon as the last of the suns rays filtered through the trees.</p>

<p>Taken at The Quabbin...</p><div></div>

<p>Peek-a-boo...</p><div></div>

<p>Hi everyone. Interesting pictures today.</p>

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

<p>Benjamin - your three photos of Whitney are amazing, and my favorite sequence today, so far! My son-in-law and I took a little Labor Day drive to Lime Kiln Park, in Grafton, WI. I was glad for a few wispy high clouds that moved into this afternoon shot.</p><div></div>
