<p>Welcome to Nikon Wednesday, and to summer in the northern hemisphere (we've just had the summer solstice, but the summer weather's been cooking along for a few weeks already, here on the east coast). <br /><br />Spent a hot morning, the other day, photographing a little black dog that was outside my usual niche. I heard "Griffon," and thought it would be the wire-haired hunting breed (a larger dog that's right up my alley). But it was a <em>Brussels</em> Griffon, which could hardly be more removed, as a breed, and is about the size of a loaf of bread. Below is Pete, my crazy nemesis for the day. He had tons of character, even on a hot summer morning. This about sums up his quirky personality. <br /><br />Used your Nikon gear on a subject that was out to sabotage your every effort? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>The following image is not my favourite image ever, but it is a photo of a non-caged bird taken with a 28mm lens on an FX camera, which I just think is pretty cool. =) </p><div></div>

<p>I took this picture last week at home after buying some nice strawberries. I am very surprised by the good response this picture has on flickr, at the moment there are more than 50 faves. I hope you like it too. Have a nice week! Here in Germany we have a long weekend starting tomorrow.<br>

<p>local patrons at Duarte's in Pescadero, CA after our race... evidence that my D3 isn't broken... enhanced in LR</p><div></div>

<p>Customer at the local camera store - test shot with my new 50/1.8 AF-S - actually taken before I traded the old 50/1.8 AF-D and a first series 24/2.8 AF for it.</p><div></div>

<p><img src="../photo/13340192" alt="" />Matt - that dog face reminds me of someone (*_*).<br>

Jana - love that backlighting and a beautiful model also.<br>

My car needed some repair so I did a walk through the small town of Laprairie Quebec and shot some images. This one is the entrance to a house that must have an artisan as the owner. Many of the homes have a historic look to them. I hope to process a few and upload to PN in the near future.</p><div></div>

<p>I was at a camp in Salla in Eastern Lapland last week. This picture is from Oulanka National Park and was from taken on Thursday an hour before midnight.</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning Everyone! Last Sunday it was a warm day and some people stayed by the lake till late...That gave me the opportunity to take that picture. I felt like going back, to the more "relaxing" years...hope you like it! Cheers!</p><div></div>

<p>It wasn't this set of basalt columns that tried to sabotage this photo, it was the sea hitting the narrow wave-cut slab I was standing on...</p><div></div>
