<p>A happy Nikon Wednesday to you all, and thanks again to all who participated last week - lots of inspiring contributions. In a bit of a departure this week, some on-they-fly fun from an early morning at a local 5k run. The organizers placed musicians at strategic spots along the route, and just before the final stretch, a young group of guys specializing in Metallica covers was positioned to give the runners a final jolt on their way to the finish line.<br /><br />Feeling a bit of whimsy, and as an exercise, I put an SB-900 on the sidewalk camera right, set to fire as a CLS slave. A quick test exposure to make sure I was getting some rock-and-roll drama, and then a shot straight to JPG. And while sitting in the grass next to the band's bass player, piped an image from the D300 straight into the iPad that lives in my Urban Disguise bag. About 45 seconds spent in a cool app from Nik called SnapSeed, and the image below was on its way by e-mail to the band. SnapSeed is actually a very capable straight-up editor, but you can also use its "grunge" filter for fun and games as seen here. I know, I should stick with dogs. Used your Nikon gear to produce anything strictly for amusement? Share a photo!</p><div>00ZMTg-400181684.jpg.6a84fe1882b69c8b47b4aedccccbc6b9.jpg</div>

<p>No iPad. But I used my D300 with 17-55 f/2.8 and my SB900. On a tripod. Aiming at a somewhat wilted flower arrangement in the lunchroom at one of my clients. Overhead fluorescent lights on. Everything set to minimize background. On-camera flash set as master to off-camera SB-900</p>

<p>From last summer. Nothing new recently.</p><div>00ZMTu-400185584.jpg.97e5ed3d365016c76efc5350f727aaa4.jpg</div>

<p>Good Moring Nikonistas,<br>

Something a little different from me...People! This is from a local gala to celebrate a Local man done good. Thomas Blake Glover or the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Blake_Glover">Scottish Samurai</a>. <br>

<p>This is from a session in the back yard earlier today (actually yesterday now that it is past midnight). I decided to see what I could do with shallow depth of field, which is a bit of a departure for me in that I'm usually striving for<em> more</em> depth of field with my macro work. It's a small bunch of crape myrtle buds just starting to bloom.</p><div>00ZMUS-400197584.jpg.e3b8948c70e192224bafdae66f61e1a6.jpg</div>

<p><img src="../photo/14225054" alt="" />Good day to everyone. Lots of beautiful images and too many to mention:<br>

Jana well captured and figuratively appealing (*_*)<br>

Steve - love the car - love the colors.<br>

Jose an appetizing dinner and good image.<br>

I had not visited the Lachine rapids (near Montreal) for quite some time so I went there yesterday and the pickings were slim so i shot some turbulent water. The only thing I did different on this was to change my picture control on the D300 from Neutral to Vivid.<br>

My Nikkor 70-300mm was stretched to the limit and with the camera on a manfrotto tripod and Vibration Reduction turned off, I shot a few images because you are never quite sure what you are going to get because the waves seldom repeat the same action - always a small variation. And how do you chose which one to share? - It is hard to explain but when you see it, it stands out.<br>

All the best and thanks to everyone who mentioned my last submission.</p><div>00ZMUi-400203584.jpg.681ea8554b7948e2ba5954123ecd3723.jpg</div>

<p>Thanks to everybody who commented on my last week's picture of a cat.<br>

This picture is of the Fern Canyon in Prairie Creek Redwood State Park, CA; it was used a set for filming some scenes in Jurassic Park -- this is mentioned in all guide books, so it has many visitors. </p><div>00ZMV1-400207584.jpg.f52cc63e215e5661e343ae2eee3ed5c4.jpg</div>
