<p>A good Nikon Wednesday to everyone! Something a little different for me this week. Have been working with a local group tied to our county Fire & Rescue department. They get some funding in exchange for getting more people signed up for the county's emergency alert network ... and we got a grant written to fund a media system they'll use in that PR work. Our first outing was a green-screen shoot at a kid-oriented open house at large performance venue. The group had pirate props ... so, pirate stuff it was (hey, I just do the technical consulting, here!). <br>

<br />So, this was a challenging intersection of my IT, showbiz, and photography backgrounds - and we had several hours of non-stop kid shooting, with instantly e-mailed chroma-key pirate shots showing up on parents' smartphones and now littering a hundred Facebook pages. Each image carried a text banner with county emergency alert system info - PR mission accomplished! Needless to say, I trotted out gear from two of my favorite manufacturers: Buff lighting, and Nikon cameras/lenses. Add a little Eye-Fi, some Darkroom event software, a couple of laptops, a pile of stands and cables, a mobile Verizon hotspot, and ... presto! So, here are a few scenes of the scene.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings Nikonistas! From the deep wilderness of Newton Center, MA –– a nice Barred Owl soaking up the sun across from my apartment. No wonder all the little bunnies seem to have disappeared in the recent months. They were so cute, too. But so is this guy!</p><div></div>

<p>Mr. Blue had some surgery last week. He picked out his stitches so had to go back for repairs and a cone. He's doing fine now but resents the cone.</p><div></div>

<p>Was shooting pics of this Osprey trying to catch fish and he got curious and flew real close to check out my equipment. Nikon D3, Nikon 300 2.8, SS/1600, F/8, ISO 400</p><div></div>
