<p>A tip of the hat to you, Nikonistas. I spent a couple hours this morning photographing the exhibitors at our local agricultural fair, and I simply cannot resist the draft horses. Or, in this case, a young (and particularly tall) draft <em>mule</em>. She's still a kid, and likes to play. With hats. Had your Nikon gear pointed at something youthful this week? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

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

This week another one of my Film Noir shots I did of my make up artist Rachel. <br>

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

Hi Guys, Thanks for the kind words for cowgirl. It's a little more serious this week. I grew up 15 miles from Watkins Glen. Thats where I started my photography career. I love this race track. It has once again rewarded me for coming back. I didn't see any AP shots on the wire. I might be the only one to capture the crash. Thats why my local paper gave me so much for it. HA! I took 12 shots at 8 frames per sec. to capture the whole crash. I used my D700, Nikkor300 F4, 1.4 nikon converter at F5.6 1/2500 sec ISO 500 focal length 420 MM note the radiator & Fan!<div></div>

<p>Been on vacation for a while. Didn't have a laptop but today we have a new edition to our family. "Rocco" is an energized Chihuahua who decided to cooperate for his first pictures. Shot with my D300 and Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 lense.</p><div></div>

<p>It seems like I get just<br>

one or two good hummingbird shots each week.</p><div></div>

<p>fair fun</p><div></div>

<p>So early and yet so good. I love everything that has been submitted.<br>

My photo this week is from a trip our Photo Club took, we ended up at a Winery in Southern Illinois (not for the wine) but because this particular winery has a few Humming Bird Feeders and is known to have hundreds of birds there. We were not disappointed. But I had my eye on their dog walking around greeting everyone as dogs do, looking for a treat or something. Whereas I did get some Humming Bird photos, I liked this one of their Jake so much I decided to use it this week.<br>

Hope that you like it.<br>

I used my Nikon D90, Sigma 70-200 @185mm, f2.8, 1/400, iso 200, tripod, other than resizing, white balance and some slight sharpening was all that was done post.<br>

<p>Have a great Wednesday all...here's my son and a friend. When I need a smile, I will forever look at this photo.</p><div></div>

<p>my shot this week is kind of an available-light experiment i did in a local nightclub. i like the colors and the atmosphere it evokes. cropped to remove a distracting lighting fixture, but otherwise straight out the camera. used a D3s and sigma 50, tech stats are f/1.6, 1/50, ISO 4000.</p><div></div>

<p>From a wet summer. Tried to frame it.</p><div></div>

<p>It obviously tasted delicious !</p><div></div>

<p>Fiddling a bit with HDR and B/W conversion.</p><div></div>

<p>Many eyes of fish seen through a fisheye.<br>

Many thanks to those who mentioned my last week pic.<br>

Have a great week.</p><div></div>
