Matt Laur Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here: http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! A Nikon Wednesday to everyone. I'm going to guess I wasn't the only person pointing a long lens at this year's only "super" moon this month, as the moon was both full and at its closest to us. Happily, we also had some clear, still air for a change. Didn't have to get off my front porch for this one, as the moon rose at a civilized hour just over the trees to the east. Popped the D810 on a tripod-mounted Nikon 200-500 with a 1.7x TC. This makes for an 850mm that I used at f/14 and 1/400th and ISO 500. Pretty casual arrangement, actually, but it worked fairly well. Anybody else? Share some photos! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsypkin Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Good Wednesday, everybody! Not much time for photography these days. (I missed the full moon sitting in front of the computer.) So here are a couple of photos from the old days. This one was taken in London, in July 2008, with my D50 and Nikon 18-200mm: "A face in the crowd." Just standing in front of the Covent Garden Tube station. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsypkin Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 And this one was taken in Venice, in May 2009, with D90 and Nikon 18-200mm: "A young love." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsypkin Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 And this one was taken last week, with D7100, Sigma 17-50, and SB-700 bounced off something: "Empty Nester: the portrait of my wife." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawsonPointers Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 It is hard to portray the size of this monster in a photo. It is about 10cm long, has a wingspan of a sparrow and can leap like Superman. I'm glad it was solitary when it landed in our backyard here in Uruguay. D7100 Sigma 150mm macro. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yardkat Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 D750, 24-85. I am learning lots about night shooting these days, but I never get tired of red rock, blue sky, and old junipers. And shooting into the sun... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sallymack Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) For the last year I've been photographing industrial tubes, rusted and coated, at Mare Island, CA in a series I've called "Horizontals." This photo is a continuation of the series, showing the underside of some of the rusted tubes. Edited December 6, 2017 by sallymack 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkka_nissila Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Finland celebrated its 100th year of independence today. There was fireworks over the South Harbor in Helsinki. I tried to get some landmarks in the background but without much prior information about the fireworks it was difficult. D810, 24-70/2.8E. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Last week I learned about Eyes in the Sky (EITS, eyesinthesky.org) , a Santa Barbara Audubon’s key wildlife education program since 2000. It features seven birds of prey that serve as education ambassadors. All were rescued and rehabilitated but, due to permanent disabilities, can no longer survive in the wild. Kachina - female American Kestrel, Nikon D500, 300/4E PF VR, 1/800, f/5.6, ISO 140 Kanati - male American Kestrel, Nikon D500, 300/4E PF VR, 1/800, f/5.6, ISO 140 Kisa - female Peregrine Falcon, D500, 300/4E PF VR, 1/800, f/8, ISO 1600 Kachina and Kanati are hit-by-car victims, Kisa was found with a bullet in her shoulder. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 The mascot of Castleton State University (really a college but full of itself) is a helmeted Spartan, and on my way out of the gym I spotted this inadvertent nod to "Sparty" in the yard of a nearby building. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Garrard Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Sorry to be late to this, especially since I already had some photos of the moon posted this week. I have some interesting experiments that I ran out of time to try, so I'll follow Matt's theme instead. Like his, this is with a 200-500. I only have a TC-14, not a 17, and I couldn't be bothered to set up a tripod, so I'm not going to compete on reach - both these are without the teleconverter. This is 1:1 (hot tip: the moon is about the right size with the 200-500, cropped 1:1 from a D810, to fit the 1000px limit - how will I cope when I eventually get a D850?) but unlike the shots on the other thread, processed with DxO then Photoshop rather than out-of-camera JPEGs; hopefully they're a bit sharper, although something about crater rims makes DxO try to invent colour. I was clouded out on the weekend, so this is a slightly hazy shot from Friday. I can't claim this was my idea (I don't recall whether I saw it in Astronomy Photographer of the Year in the UK or on APOD), but here's the moon with a heavy saturation boost (and a bit of blurring in the A and B channels to get rid of false colour fringes). Arguably this is the colour of the moon's rocks... only a bit easier to see. (I'd claim you'd see this if the moon wasn't against a black background, but since I basically can't see colour if I fill the eyepiece of a telescope with the moon, I'm going to say that theory is rubbish.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
