<p>Hello Nikon people, and a good Wednesday to all. For me this week, it's an image for my own amusement (not used by the client) while shooting the interior of a new racing trailer. This particular rig was a maze of lines and panels, with complex combinations of blacks, whites, silvers, grays, interior fluorescents, daylight sneaking in, LED worklights ... always interesting. Looking forward to everyone's photos this week - share some! </p><div></div>

<p>Have just found some landscape photos, which I do not do a lot in - this from the small fishing village Luong Son north of my home town Nha Trang</p><div></div>

<p>From a recent trip to the Iowa Veteran's Museum with the D800.</p>

<div></div>

<p>my first foray into shooting at night... the "Three Swords" is a monument, not far from my house, to a famous viking battle which was fought on the site sometime between the years 850 and 900. It is regarded by some historians as the battle in which western Norway was, for the first time, unified under a single monarch.</p><div></div>

<p>I can't believe it's raining - again!<br>

Still it made the ivy leaves shine in this picture. D7200+Tamron SP 17-50 @ f/4 and 50mm, 1/250th, ISO400.</p><div></div>

<p>Today's offerings are another set of images from my Route 66 trip. Today we are at Tom's Welding, with his most amazing collection of historic signs and esoterica. Tom is mostly retired now, but allowed us to explore his collection.</p><div></div>

<p>More from Tom's Welding...</p><div></div>

<p>Nikon D750 with 70-200mm/f2.8 @ 135mm, f2.8, 1/1250sec, auto ISO 11400</p><div></div>

<p>One more from Tom's Welding...</p><div></div>

<p>Ironically, given Rodeo Joe's comment, the weather was too good for landscape pictures one day last week, so it's just a conventional chocolate-box view of Snowdon.</p><div></div>

<p>I'll take any amount of that chocolate-box weather John - and the chocolates as well, please. Great picture as usual.<br>

When my leg gets a bit better I must get out walking with the camera again. I'm not up to tackling Snowdon, Helvellyn or even Cadair Idris yet though.</p>

<p>I'm thinking you must have slept overnight on Cadair, and woken up a poet John.</p>

<p>Hello,<br>

been experimenting last days. Although I sadly have not enough time to make all the experiments i'd like to make.<br>

The camera is D300s (still in use).<br>

Hope you'll like the pics.</p><div></div>

<p>This one was made with the adapted Helios 44-2 58mm f2, wide open. Because of the adapter I can't achieve infinity focus, but the lens is useful for some close-up shots.<br>

The bokeh is interresting, what do you think?<br>

Regards, Miha.</p><div></div>

<p>Thanks Rodeo Joe; if I bump into you on the hill you're welcome to a chocolate. Incidentally, Snowdon is I think easier than Cadair Idris; the slog up the latter from Minffordd is, well, a slog. There are great, easy valley walks in north Wales and the Lakes of course. Hope your leg mends as the winter rains recede.</p>

<p>A walk in Winter's deep freeze testing the warmth of my Toaster mittens (they work well) found lots of ice. One of the patterns frozen for a day ...</p><div></div>

<p>Can I sneak one in late? sorry. This is my father who turns 90 next month. He was an evangelist his whole life.</p>

<p>Jasmine napping. She is turning 19 this year. That's 93 in human years and still acts like a kitten.</p><div></div>
