Nikon Wednesday 2014: #40

<p>Waiting for the rain to clear out of Jackson Hole, our hikes have been around the neighborhood looking for local wildlife. We have heard this moose at night for several days, and yesterday found him bedded down near the condo.</p><div></div>

<p>From last weekend as the storm was moving in. Reflections of Aspens in a stream.</p><div></div>

<p>After many years driving this road, I finally got this shot with the light and clouds just right and the traffic light enough to step out of the car to take it.</p><div></div>

<p>End of the day at White Rock Lake, Dallas, Texas</p><div></div>

<p>John Harper, your Autumn Reflections shot is beautiful! My contribution this week is from a walk in a local park yesterday. The colors will be at peak here in S.E. Wisconsin, this weekend.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello good friends, lovely shots you got there, keep sharing them! The weather is still fine here and we keep enjoying the pool and the sea...(all shots taken with D700, Nikon 24-70, 16-35 and 70-300 VR)</p><div></div>

<p>One from my Welsh trip of a couple of weeks ago, one of the Lakenheath aircraft training in the Welsh hills.</p><div></div>

<p>Elliot Bernstein - great color in your clouds shot</p>

<p>Bill Boyd - likewise, great color in that silhouette </p><div></div>

<p>A nearby village holds a scarecrow festival every year. This year it took place last weekend and below are a couple of pictures from it.</p>

<p>I thought this one was particularly inventive, but apparently it never won a prize. Judges eh, what do they know?</p>

<p>D800 + Tamron 28-75mm SP zoom used for all 3 submissions this week. I meant to take the 70-300 VC lens but forgot to pack it - Oldtimer's disease strikes again!</p>

<div></div>

<p>Another "scarecrow" from the festival.</p><div></div>

<p>And a chocolate box view of the village stream.</p>

<p>Rats! Here's the picture.</p><div></div>

<p>had the opportunity to shoot the legendary Wu-Tang Clan from the photo pit at the Warfield Theater in SF. that was fun!</p><div></div>

<p>Canada geese eating grass and hanging about in Otaniemi. </p><div></div>

<p>I tried to include seasonal signs. It is harder to include multiple animals and expect them to be organized for my picture. ;-)</p><div></div>

<p>My poor directing skills show up in this image as well, as one of the geese is hiding in the treeline.</p><div></div>

<p>Welcome back, Lil!<br>

So I shot a dog's birthday party recently. (Looks like my photographic career is really starting to peak!) Anyway, this is Sophia, bearing the humiliation like a trooper.</p><div></div>

<p>Early picture taken with my then-brand-new PC Nikkor 35mm f/2.8 1971<br /> The reason I switched from Pentax M42 to Nikon at that time.</p><div></div>

<p>It's getting to the end of the swimming season. Brisk!</p><div></div>

<p>Morgan Point Lighthouse in Noank, CT.</p><div></div>

<p>Ilkka: beautiful pics, but not Canada geese, they are Barnacle geese. Here a pic a couple of weeks ago.</p><div></div>
