<p>A good Nikon Wednesday to you all, and I'm hoping for another week of images as enjoyable as the last few have been. Here's a mercenarial puppy portrait I did at a local farm market a few days ago. I don't know terriers very well, but I know I can't resist a 13-week-old Westie like Olivia, here. What have you and your Nikon gear come across this past week? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>How about a Snow Leopard</p><div></div>

<p>I live in North Texas and this is our 39th consecutive day of triple digit temps. My photo was taken last week during the Blue Hour when temps were 110 degrees F.</p><div></div>

<p>The Mississippi River begins its long journey in Itasca State Park in Northern Minnesota. As it flows out of Lake Itasca, there is a constant stream of tourists who walk on the rocks so they can say they walked across the mighty Mississippi.</p><div></div>

<p>Going to go back to my short lived vacation/slice of heaven the other week. While resting on the beach we were able to spend some time with a herd of Alpacas and Llamas. This little gal was about a year old and didn't seem to mind the camera snapping at her while my wife held her.</p><div></div>

This is my neice Jeanines new puppy dog. Great name. Shot with a D700. Nikkor 24-70 at 24. f4 and 800 iso at 1/800sec.<div></div>

<p>Nikon D7000 with 70-200mm/f2.8 AF-S VR II lens. ISO 2000, f2.8, 1/1250 second.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi everyone, happy Nikon Wednesday!</p>

<p>Here's a picture I took last weekend from a promo session. It was a very hot day but we manage to get some good results.</p><div></div>

<p>Enjoy your Wednesday all...</p><div></div>

<p>haven't had the nikon out for a while, so here's one from a year ago<br>

fisherman's wharf at Tsehum Harbour, Sidney, British Columbia<br>

<p>First of all I would like to thank <a name="00Z8WQ"></a><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=6224845">Chris Wick</a>, <a name="00Z8Wf"></a><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2095833">Panayotis Papadopoulos</a>, and <a name="00Z8VM"></a><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=6498171">James Farabaugh</a> for commenting on my orange rose last week.<br>

Here is a red one for your viewing please for this week. Nikon D700 + Nikon 105mm macro D.</p><div></div>

<p>Nice shots, already! <strong>James, Peter, Gary, Emilio, and David</strong> caught my eye this week.</p>

<p>The hummingbirds are finally back!</p><div></div>

<p>Last sunday I tried my new old toy, the fisheye nikkor 8mm f/2.8 AiS.<br>

It is a wonderful piece of precision engineering and has that rugged feel that makes me fan of these old nikkors.<br>

The new ones have superb performance, but the massive presence of plastic somehow carries a sense of cheapness I don't appreciate.<br>

I wish my beloved 14-24mm f/2.8G had a metal and velvet cap instead of that lousy plastic one.<br>

Thank you.</p><div></div>

<p>To all who like bicycles:-)</p>

<div></div>

<p>getting to spend some quality time with my tokina 17/3.5, as we set up for the CRP art exhibit last Friday...</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning<br>

On Sunday went with my Daughter to a bus Rally at stokes bay, The Weather was good and the company better, got a shot or 10 of the route masters probably the most recognizable Bus in the world though from experience better to look at than drive (no power anything)Great photos as usual looking forward to login on during the day to see the rest.Have a good one. </p><div></div>

<p>D300 + 300/2,8 AFI , ISO200, F4,5, 1/500 :</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

thank you for the very kind comments on my photo last week. <br>

Gary, your photo made me laugh out loud :-) <br>

My photo this week is from my mega film noir photo session with 7 clients in one day, it was a lot of fun, I loved every minute of it. <br>

Have a lovely week and I look forward to seeing all your photos.<br>

<p>A picture that HCB could not have taken unless there were a lot of people walking around scratching their ears...</p><div></div>

<p>Walking in to work this morning and this alley always catches my eye with the contrasting textures and lines. Although it's bit gloomy today ..... pretty much like the rest of this awful summer in northern Europe :(</p><div></div>

<p>Another snap from our summer holiday, taken on a rainy day. My wife (in the center of the frame) setting up for a rappel.</p><div></div>
