Nikon Wednesday 2014: #50

<p>From our TKD club's recent pizza party/movie night. There is always that one young teen glued to her phone :D<br>

Nikon D7100, Nikkor 24-85 f2.8-4 @85mm (127mm), ISO 200, 1/125. f5.6, On camera flash.</p><div></div>

<p>I have been building train gardens for non-profit fund raising events over the last several weeks. Yesterday, one of the model railroaders brought a gold-plated "millennium edition" train. And you thought the gold plated DF was over the top?</p><div></div>

<p>Nikon D750 with 70-200mm/f2.8 AF-S VR II @ 190mm, f4, 1/60 sec, and ISO 1600</p><div></div>

<p>Wow! A lot of creativity today. Very impressive. Matt - Good to know that with proper preparation, huge photos can be made.<br /> It has been overcast and using the 150-600mm Tamron has been a real challenge. This is at 600mm f10, 1/800 ISO 1000.</p><div></div>

<p>This is a composite of multiple exposures, focussing on different parts of the pink lady slipper using the shallowest depth of field available, so the messy background of the natural environment would not be evident. The resultant file was quite large.</p><div></div>

My late father-in-law was "Train Nut" I mean he was train crazy. And he was a model train enthusiast who had an<br>

enormous lay out in his second floor of his house. It took up an entire huge bedroom. He loved his Hudson locomotives but he never had a gold plated one. He made is own engines and wrote articles for Railroad Modeler magazine. </p>

<p>Great Nikon Wednesday Photos all - as usual. My new grandson's first Santa visit.</p><div></div>

<p>On the evening of the Independence Day in Helsinki there is a precession of students wearing white caps and carrying torches to the Senate Square. Flags of various colours can be seen in the background.</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Panayotis Papadopoulos </strong>I just want to say thank you thank you for your kind comment. I took lots of photos of all the lights & inside the rides. but it's so hard to judge how to expose them. But that one just stood out to me :) I also want to say congratulations to the family addition. Wonderful photos of the little one. I'm sure the entire family's ecstatic over such a doll. I feel your photos express the gentleness & tenderness of a baby. All three are spectacular :)</p>

<p><img src="/photo/17919205" alt="" />WE are in a middle of a snow storm and outside is dark but like a Christmas card with all of the snow clinging on to all of the trees. Maybe I will post one in a few hours. In the meantime this is an older one taken close to the St.lawrence river in St.catherine, Quebec. Great shots as usual - there are two where I like the expression (eyes) on the dogs. Thanks Jon and William.</p>

<p>Panayotis - great baby photos. Congrats to you and the parents.</p><div></div>

<p><img src="/photo/17921315" alt="" />It is still snowing! This was taken on a street called Gatineau not far from St.Joseph's Oratory. I met a few people at a Greek restaurant, had a meal and when I exited the restaurant and turned left, this was the scene that greeted me. And the wind was blowing!</p><div></div>
