<p>Happy new year.</p>

<p>Here is another image from my one-day trip to La Jolla, California over Christmas. I finally got some images of a pelican stretching its neck. Previously, I was at that location back in 2007 and 2008. I was frustrated about getting this shot as a pelican does this once maybe every hour or so, and my composition was always wrong, cutting off the front of their bills time after time as the pelicans suddenly extend their neck.</p>

<p>Nikon D700 with 500mm /f4 AF-S lens at f5.6, 1/1600 sec, ISO 200.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year, everybody.</p>

<p>My image this week was taken during one of the new year storms, when suddenly some sunset light broke through the clouds.</p><div></div>

<p>Sure Rene, I believe that is the very first image you captured in 2012. :-)</p>

<p>Happy new year! This is my first macro shot of 2012, as well as the first macro with my new D7000 I got for Christmas. (D7000/Sigma 150mm@1/1600, f/8, ISO 400) Tiny sweet bee enjoying the gorgeous weather we've been having:</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday and Happy New Year Nikon folks!</p>

<p>Nothing serious this week. I've been trying out a very old laptop (Acer Aspire 3000) that I really had no use for, and if it was still fit enough to do some tethered shooting. Too slow for LR but a combination of ViewNX2 and Camera Control seems to have some possibilities. I hope Nikon software is also considered as Nikon gear :-)</p>

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

<p>Happy New Year to all. Beautiful shots so far. I drive past this old barn every day and decided to ask the land owner for permission to go on the property and photograph it. So here is my entry for today.</p><div></div>

<p>Some fluke winter weather over the past few days gave us a calm Atlantic Ocean over the holiday weekend, and gave my son a great opportunity to practice his latest pastime.</p><div></div>

<p>Shot at the Holiday train show.</p><div></div>

<p>Caught this Rosetta Spoonbill just hangin' out. Hope everyone had get times over the holidays. Nikon D3x, Nikon 300 2.8, f/16, 1/160 sec, ISO 250,</p><div></div>

<p>Hi,<br>

Happy new year for you all.<br>

I'm testing my new old Nikkor zoom 200-400mm f/4 ED AiS.<br>

It's one of the best built Nikkors of all time according to Bjorn Roslett.<br>

For sure it is a wonderful glass and see the world through it is a real pleasure.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Wednesday :)</p>

<p>Went out on Monday in search of Snowy Owl and came back with this image. It was cloudy cold day and Sun was trying to come out.</p>

<p>Nikon D90 with 70-200mm TC1.7 @ f/8 1/1000 ISO 400</p>

<p>Shun..... ????? It is!!!! Before that I was taking a video with the V1...... Anyway.... Thank you for everything!!!!!</p>

<p>Todd, welcome, and great picture! I saw something similar once at nearby Holland, MI. It was just an ordinary winter day away from the lake, but at that water/land boundary there were tremendous waves and wind (laced with ice and sand) that could knock you right over—a dose of meteorological ultraviolence. Your picture captures much of what I remember.</p>

<p>Another from an evening at a Cuban Cigar bar a couple of weeks back…</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year all! A birthday party for a six year old added to all the other celebrations.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year to Everyone.....<br>

My image this week was taken back in the fall using a Nikon D300 with a Nikon 200-400mm f4 lens. ISO 640, f4.5 @ 1/200 sec.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy New Year Guys,<br /> One from the Boxing Day 'blow away the cobwebs' walk...was certainly windy enough!...between repeated winter storms and car 'issues' I've not been getting out and about as I'd planned. So I'm going to be falling back on the archives I fear.<br /><a href="../photo/14923372">D40X (50-500mm F/4-6.3G) 500mm, F/8 @ 1/30s, ISO 400 </a> <img src="../photo/14923372" alt="" /><br /> These guys get full credit for hanging on in an absolute ripper of a wind. Especially the one legged one!</p><div></div>
