Nikon Wednesday 2014: #23

<p>In a hurry:</p><div></div>

<p>Winona, Minnesota. Nikon F2 and circa 1965 35mm f2.0 Nikkor; Kodak Porta @ EI 160.</p>

<p>Georg, I am very much taken with your shot with an IR filter on the D700. Did you capture RAW or jpg? And anything like the Monochrome setting? I may have to get an R72 filter!<br>

Mine are just ordinary shots around the yard. First a rose on a feral bush that crept its way under the fence from our neighbors. </p><div></div>

<p>Second, a shot of my other pretty flower, Lucy, snoozing on the deck.</p><div></div>

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

<p>We have warm now ...</p><div></div>

<p>Lurking in the flowers</p><div></div>

<p>Visited Corkscrew Sanctuary in Naples Florida. Loved the Cattails. Nikon D3X, Nikon 300 2.8, Nikon TC 14E II, 1/1600, F/4.5, ISO 400</p><div></div>

<p>Maybe not a hair-raising back story; but, certainly a hair-shedding one.<br>

Harry pushed the ball into the pond. He doesn't swim. The koi were interested but were of no help. </p><div></div>

<p>Wet=Hair raising??</p><div></div>

<p>Mother Goose and her six goslings.</p><div></div>

<p>John P, Where's Gosling No.6?</p>

<p>View of Victoria Harbour from the peak in Hong Kong taken from my trip last month</p><div></div>

<p>Another panaromic shot of the harbour later in the evening</p><div></div>

<p>Just a regular share today - an after storm sky scene as I was leaving my tennis clinic last night.</p><div></div>

<p>@ Jim Palmer: Jim, thanks! I've shot JPEG (B&W with red-filter-setting and contrast to the max) and NEF. The posted image is a very basic RAW-conversion in Adobe Camera Raw and a minute of work in SilverEfex. If you want further informations please feel free to contact me via PN.</p>

<p>@ Lex: I really enjoyed looking at your shadow-play.</p>

<p>The "theme" of this week's thread has finally provoked me into taking this shot that I've had in mind for a while.<br>

Tech data: D800 + Tamron 90mm Macro @ f/11. Small off-camera Metz flash to simulate harsh sunlight.</p><div></div>

<p>Mike, I believe Gosling #6 was how do you say, "copped off" :-))</p>

<p>Now don't ask me where the "r" in "cropped" is. Boy too many cups of coffee this morning. </p>

<p>Late yesterday afternoon from my patio. </p><div></div>

<p>Always fun try out scenes in IR.</p><div></div>

<p>Sequence of a surfer at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, California, as she was entering the rough sea.</p>

<p>All captured with a Nikon D7100 with a 200-400mm/f4 AF-S VR zoom.</p><div></div>

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

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

<p>Sorting through all of the Peony images from the garden over the last two weeks, this flower was the best. Near the end of its bloom, the petals have opened up and glowed with backlit sunlight. This is a crop using a 70-200/4 at closest focus distance.</p><div></div>
