<p>Good Wednesday to you, Nikon folks. It's a busy time of year, and I have to get the fun stuff mixed in with the work stuff. This week, it's from an ongoing project with a dealer of fancy trucks and trailers. We ran ourselves out of light at the end of a long day shooting last week, so I metered for the sunset sky, and dragged the shutter out to a third of a second. I used PWs to trigger some speedlights for the interior of the trailer and to sparkle up the outside of the rig to show some texture.<br /><br />Sometimes running out of light is a good thing! Had your Nikon gear out in the dark? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Dallas Audubon Center...</p><div></div>

Here's some 'new' yellow pipe construction....in the Port of Pensacola, NW Florida-USA.<div></div>

<p>Thanks to those who commented on my photo last week. I adopted this wonderful boy last year. He is a great pal. D300s, Nikkor 70-300, w in camera flash.</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots already. Great Weather in NYC so decided to take a walk along the river. This is one of the many shots I was able to capture. A week past prime for foliage but still good.</p><div></div>

<p>Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, Virginia. Image made in the sleet before it turned to snow on October 29th</p><div></div>

I shot this with a D700 and the 24-70 at 24mm 2.8 160sec iso800<div></div>

<p>A sunset shot of the Grand Canyon from the North Rim.</p><div></div>

<p>Merciful Redeemer Church - Mississauga, Canada.</p><div></div>

<p>a few weeks ago I scanned in a lot of my old work from film. This is one of my favorites.<br>

No EXIF data back then so I don't know which lens or the f stop, but I'm pretty sure it's 1/60 s since it was flash. Film was TMAX 100. I used three lights (Novatron 500 Ws kit). Main light was 7" reflector positioned above her head (paramount lighting). Fill was probably an umbrella. Third light was a hair light, almost certainly a 7" reflector. Background was black velvet.<br>

This printed pretty well in the darkroom, but it is MUCH easier in LightRoom. I can do my dodging and burning ONCE and then make as many prints as I want by pressing a button. Yay!</p><div></div>

<p>Many thanks to everyone who commented on my image last week. For this shot, I followed a class of preschoolers and their teachers as they went exploring in the forest on a surprisingly pleasant November day in Oregon. The intent was to capture a little of the kids' sense of wonder in nature. But really, just getting them to hold still with their discoveries was an achievement!</p><div></div>

<p>Fall on my windshield.</p><div></div>

<p>I'm early for a change :) Great pictures so far -- looking forward to seeing what everyone puts up. My image this week is a shot of the canopy of a market stall taken at night.</p><div></div>

<p>From Copenhagen Saturday.<br>

Have a nice week all.</p><div></div>

<p>Morning Nikonistas<br>

Interesting stuff! <br>

One from Remembrance Sunday. The formal act of remembrance over and the bulk of the wreaths carefully removed and on show inside the adjacent hall, a solitary wreath being left as a mark of respect on the War memorial to the Fallen. <br>

<a href="../photo/14621472">D40 (18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G) 55mm @ F/5.6, 1/500s, ISO 800</a><img src="../photo/14621472" alt="" /></p><div></div>

<p>From a day trip to Yellowstone National Park, just a few days before the summer roads closed for the season. There were very few other visitors - such a contrast to summer. My grand vista photos were taken with my Pentax 67. My D80 w/ Tamron 17-50 captured this frozen scene in a pullout along the Yellowstone River.</p><div></div>

<p>A wacky building near home.</p><div></div>

<p>A quick scan, taken few weeks back from a underground parking hall construction site nearby. Seems that the light leaks on my FE are getting worse, need to fix it as soon as the roll inside is finished...</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p><img src="../photo/14537534" alt="" /> This was taken in St.georges Anglican Church downtown (Peel st) in Montreal. There were 3 baptisms and the little fellow here was listening intently to the sermon (*_*).<br>

While all of the images are nice but a couple caught my eye: Michael ferron, Christopher Sperry and Martin Z. Thanks to those who mentioned my image last week.</p><div></div>

<p>a scene from early September in Barkley Sound, BC<br>

D70, 70-300 @70mm, f/9, 1/500, ISO 200</p><div></div>

<p>Well, fall is about to become history. Before the steps are covered with snow days on end in this Northeastern town of Concord, MA, I share this piece.</p>

<p>Try again</p><div></div>
