Nikon Wednesday 2015: #10

<p>Pattern on the stairway wall created by a "piano window," which is made of leaded glass, across the room. I have lived in this house almost 30 years and have not noticed this before. It must be the precise time of year for the sun to hit this spot.</p><div></div>

<p>Bald Eagle</p><div></div>

<p>Island of Antigua, a lot of work went into this</p><div></div>

<p>portrait shot...</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots again this Wednesday. Lorne, I like the light reflecting on the tracks. Jon, priceless dog photos. Bill Boyd, looks like you are really enjoying the new lens. Great shot.<br /> Yesterday I went to a high school baseball game to practice some sports photography</p>

<p>This is a photo of a routine foul ball......... or is it?</p><div></div>

<p>Notice the trajectory of the ball and how it is now between me and the batter. That's right. It smacked me on the inner right elbow. Saved the camera though</p><div></div>

<p>My ice cube orchid survived my clumsiness. I broke off the bloom spike several weeks ago, so it sprouted another - sideways. It's so heavy I had to support it with fishing line. Looks odd from a distance but still makes for nice infrared closeups.<br>

<p>Nikon FE, 24mm F/2.8 N.C., 1/125th x ~f4, Fuji Velvia 50, handheld above my head. Outside Tours, France.</p>

<p>Not much today, but spring is in the air. I went out eagle hunting and saw a few, but they were rather far away. My wife didn't do too badly out the car window, but I didn't do very well at all. I took her 500/4 P lens and got horrible results. I did a little better with the old 400/5.6 AI, but the critters were so far away we're definitely in snapshot territory.</p><div></div>

<p>some cropping and a shameless amount of sharpening and I get...well, a snapshot of something like an eagle at least, and that's going to have to suffice for today.</p><div></div>

<p>Recently I spent a couple of days in Venice, Italy, very enjoyable! Doing so I watched an endless number of 'smartphone selfies' and wondered whether my D700 is 'selfie capable'. Well it is!<br>
