Nikon Wednesday 2018: #39

Hello Nikon folks! Howzabout, since I haven't done one for a bit, another (optional!) Wayback Wednesday. Here's from the aftermath of a fire in an historic local building, about 10 years ago. Whole thing had to come down, dangerous as the ruins were. Hard had zone, for sure. Share some photos! Did this one with the venerable D300 and a 70-200.

D810 with Sigma 24-105 at 95mm, f/8, 1/440, ISO 220

Three more from my recent trip, all D700 and 24-120 f4 VR:

1/60 @ f10, ISO400, zoom at 48mm, cropped

1/40 @ f8, ISO1600, zoom at 120mm, cropped

1/80 @ f4.5, ISO400, zoom at 55mm, cropped

Life's decay. Df, Sigma 105.

Wayback Wednesday? Ok, here is another one from Italy earlier this year.

Nikon D800E, AF-S16-35/4VR

So wayback I can't remember whether it was shot on an FE or an FM. FE I think. Kodak Gold 100 IIRC.

Excellent image, I love the sun, the bicycle silhouette, and the reflection on the beach, although I would like to position the bicycle a bit to the left side of the image instead of the center. Not sure that was possible unless this is a set-up capture.

Have been pushing myself hard to stay current and out of the archives. D 7200 AF Nikkor 75-300 4.5 5.6 HH this morning - a dozen minutes later wrapped in clouds.

I would like to position the bicycle a bit to the left side of the image instead of the center. Not sure that was possible unless this is a set-up capture.

Not a set-up shot but entirely fortuitous. Six shots in the sequence with the first one showing only half the bike entering from the left and the last one with the bike in the right half of the image. As to "bit of the left side" - which one do you prefer? There's a third one that has the bike's front wheel over the sun-reflection. I chose the one above - even though everything is dead center because the person "replaces" the sun reflection. I would have liked to get the entire reflection into the frame but didn't realize the cut-off fast enough to zoom out a bit.

I think I lean to the former of these two, Dieter, but I like all three.

Sanford: Ooh, Divo. I didn't know they existed. Good find.

Photos to follow when I finally manage triage...

Optional Wayback Wednesday? OK. Shot this one about a week or so after I got my D70s w/18-70 kit lens in May 2005. A slowly disappearing picnic table on the north shore of Lake Ontario just east of Toronto.

Dieter, I like the last version best, but now the right side looks a little empty. Maybe it could be better as a vertical.

The thing is that it is difficult to get perfection on the fly. It could work if this were a set up so that the bicycle would come by multiple times and you can try various compositions, horizontal and vertical, different positions for the bicycle, etc. But then you may have tire tracks on the beach .... Also the sunset is quick so that there is time pressure.

And I prefer the original post Dieter, it just feels right to me.

I thought, I was the only one still using the Nikon 17-35mm /f2.8 AF-S -:)

I think I like this version the best.
