Matt Laur Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 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! Hopefully none of you are, on this otherwise lovely Nikon Wednesday, somewhere in the mid-Atlantic region and about to do some important driving. Despite regional problems with closed/empty gas stations here because of the pipeline cyber attack and a shortage of tanker drivers, I did a midnight run and found a station with gas and no long line as I saw earlier in the day. So filled the truck and 15 gallons in cans just in case, and now I'm planning how to minimize trips on some projects. Top 'em off while you can, folks. Could be a wacky few days until they get this sorted out. In the meantime - share some photos! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilkka_nissila Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 In Kirkkonummi, there seems to be some kind of a photography boom these days. Newspapers reported several incidents of moose charging towards people taking photos. I think in many cases the people went too close to the animals. This is from a car window; I stopped to take some photos as I was driving past. It started to get a bit uncomfortable also composition-wise. D6, 300mm f/2.8, 1/400s, ISO 1100, f/2.8. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgelfand Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 The juxtaposition of Jon's ( #12 above) and Mike's ( #13 above) posts could not have been more appropriate if they had been planned. A cat and mouse game, indeed. Well done, gentlemen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) I missed the whole 1973 shutdown, being in Egypt for the 1973 Arab–Israeli War aftermath. Should I be excited about this one? Fortunately my tanks are full.... Here is a shot from Memphis Egypt in 1973 Nikkormat FTn, PC-Nikkor 35mm Edited May 12, 2021 by JDMvW 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilkka_nissila Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Ilkka, you should have bought that 120-300mm/f2.8 so that you could zoom out a bit and that moose wouldn't be so boxed in the frame. :cool: It is a bit annoying to get a too tight composition like this, and not have enough time to react to correct it by moving laterally but I felt that the intense stare was best reflected in the closest frame I got, so I posted that. I quite like the 300mm f/2.8 and the fact that I can usually stay below ISO 6400 even for shots inside the forest late in the evening, so it really has opened doors for me. I was so upset that Nikon, instead of updating the 300/2.8 to a lighter FL version, brought out a zoom at twice the price (nothing wrong with the 120-300, but it's expensive and heavy). I had waited for almost ten years on an FL 300/2.8 that might be a bit lighter. I finally bought the current version after I figured that probably they'll never update it to FL. I also got a bit spooked by the fact that neither Nikon, Canon or Sony have launched or pre-launched a 300/2.8 for their mirrorless systems and instead they all bring out very expensive 400mm f/2.8's. A 300mm is important to me and I really like the aesthetics of the images from the 300/2.8. Also it can be used for my favorite sports subject (figure skating) whereas a 400mm would be too long when shooting from the audience (it would block others' views and would in practice require accreditation). The 120-300 is also physically longer than the 300/2.8 prime and potentially this could lead to problems as well. I am sure that it's a great lens but it didn't seem the right fit for me.
