<p>A good Wednesday to all you Nikon folk. Hope everyone's managing to stay cool, as much of the US is feeling some real summer heat. Here in the valley that feeds the Potomac, it's tropically steamy. I had cause to cross the river into Virginia before sunrise the other morning, and on my way back across the Legion Bridge, saw a heavy blanket of fog hiding the rocks and water. I swung down into the Carderock area on the Maryland bank, and popped through the layer into a shrouded, damp world that this photo only begins to convey. Had your Nikon gear someplace transformed by the weather? Share a photo!</p><div>00Z21w-379065584.jpg.dd275a348cf3101df093d80d52b41837.jpg</div>

<p>Happy Wednesday to everyone!</p>

<p>About the only good thing about being between jobs is that I have more time to do photography, when I'm not out looking for a job that is. Here's one from this past Sunday. It was taken on the banks of the Pearl river in Jackson, MS as a storm was rolling in. Not long afterwards, I was thoroughly drenched when it started raining before I could make it back to my truck.</p><div>00Z222-379067684.jpg.adac0111e4173bbd3b996c56266f4e2d.jpg</div>

<p>Well, it's another travel shot from me. This is an IR shot taken with my IR converted D70 & the Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 G. This is also a shot from Gotland, Sweden. We were driving north to visit another island just north of Gotland. Waiting for the ferry I saw a windmill. The sky was just so inviting for an IR shot. I have wanted to photograph a windmill for so long. I had to run as usual & almost made us miss the ferry.... ;-) <br>

D70, f/10 @ 24 mm, 1/500, ISO 200 shot in A mode.</p>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

thank you for the kind comments on my photo last week, I really appreciate them.<br>

This week our photography group had a theme Vivid and I chose to send in a photo taken during my last session with Miss Bertie Page, as the hat she wore had such bright and cheerful colours.<br>

Have a nice week and I look forward to your photos.<br>

Jana <br>

<p>Happy Wednesday all, I'm actually early this week, 95-97 here in Central NJ today.<br>

Not far from my house the river area is being all dug up and so the critters are getting displaced. Yesterday I looked out the kitchen window to find this woodchuck eating the newly sprouted clover in my yard. So I immediately thought Wed. Pic. and grabbed my trusty D200 with 300mm 4.5 Ais Nikkor and shot through the kitchen window screen diffuser.<br>

ISO 125, f5.6, 125th</p><div>00Z22c-379087584.jpg.6bbb68c06624aa1b7e92ab9da573a215.jpg</div>

<p>My daughter rescued this dragonfly who was floundering in a brook she was in...we let him dry out and we straightened his bent wing...and off he flew. My daughter Ellie has such a great way with critters, makes me smile. Enjoy your Wednesday all!</p><div>00Z22f-379089584.jpg.5d25cfa1db999c146cf32ab998441200.jpg</div>

<p>Nikon D7000 with 50mm/f1.8 AF-S, wide open @ f1.8, 1/60 sec and ISO 1600.</p>

<p>Ryan will be 4 next month. Like a lot of kids in these days, he likes to play with the iPad and electronic games. He learned to use toothpicks from adults.</p><div>00Z22m-379097584.jpg.203ac8b5fccd3797ce53cef3de3bb325.jpg</div>

<p>OK, so this shot will never win an award, but it's beautiful to me because it includes three very special women: from left, my Mom, my wife and my mother-in-law. Both mothers are serious Seattle Mariners (baseball) fans so my wife and I treated them to a game at Safeco Field in Seattle two weeks ago. The Mariners lost to Atlanta, 5-3, but as I think you can tell, everyone in our group had a good time.<br>

Aren't we lucky to have photography to capture all kinds of precious memories?</p><div>00Z238-379105584.jpg.238ffdb7a2f4c707abe49f2061c11b94.jpg</div>
