Matt Laur Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 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! This week's uneven workload means it's that time again: Wayback Wednesday! The rolled dice of file randomness for this Nikon Wednesday takes me back seven years to one of several hundred images taken while in a cave at the foot of the Massanutten Mountains. We were capturing textures and shapes headed for use as background material in a computer game. Nothing looks like underground mineral textures and formations like photos of actual cave guts. So, for no reason other than that it's the first one I opened, here's a bit of the underworld. Let's see some time traveling, this week, if anyone's in the mood? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybeach_1961 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) Taken with my D500 and Tokina AT-X Pro 14-20mm f/2 @ f/11, 1/200s, and ISO 100. I used to visit this area all the time. It's Sandhill Road in San Mateo county, CA. On Sunday I was driving on this road and just had to stop to get this shot. I think it's nicer than all but a couple of the numerous other photographs I took on this side of the road, maybe the nicest of the bunch. I guess that counts as a sort of "blast from the past."

Dieter Schaefer Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) OK, way back. As close as possible to today's date 10 years ago.

Turns out to be a grab shot taken with a used camera and used lens I had just purchased earlier that day: D300, Nikon 28-105 Wow, you bought a used camera and lens and then immediately went to shoot a wedding with them? :rolleyes: Seriously, I assume you happened to walk by and saw the bride.

You are correct - that's why I wrote "grab shot":D I am not crazy enough to shoot a wedding - much less with unproven gear. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wchen Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge again, with Nikon D7200 and 50mm f1.2 AIS, snapped before their mom caught up (not my kids.) :) The kids must be looking into a better world after the pandemic that I failed to see. I made many trips to the refuge in last three months because it was safe to walk around in the wild and I could practice my skills as a "camera holder" (what my teenage daughter dubbed me.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Going back a little way, here's one from a few years ago with a D7100, at a folk concert in Iceland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to post the headline: official wedding photographer Dieter bought a used camera and lens the morning of the big day and immediately used them to shoot an entire ceremony .... :cool: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 And going back a little further, the Love statue reminds me of a visit to Indianapolis in 2011 or so, where the Gary Indiana's original resides. This was taken with an L-35AF underwater camera (which was surprisingly good): 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Currie Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 And while we're going back, here's one taken with a Nikon F, 400/5.6 lens and 1.4x converter. Scan sharpness is a little low, but not too bad for the time: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShunCheung Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 ... and provided excellent results to the full satisfaction of the couple:D And the happy newlyweds paid the photographer $3000, more than the cost of the used camera and lens, after merely one wedding. Fake News:( ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
