<p>Hello Nikonistas, and a good Wednesday to everyone. Just a quick out-the-kitchen-window shot this week. I was clacking away on the laptop, working next to the window, when this young Cooper's Hawk crashed into a large juniper bush. He was trying to score one of the dozens of local sparrows that use it as a safe house while working over the bird feeder's bounty. He came up empty, but no worse for the wear. <br /><br />What's out your window, and do you keep your Nikon gear handy for when it gets interesting? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Beautiful Hawk</p>

<p>These are not out my window</p><div></div>

<p>Number 2 of the same guy</p><div></div>

<p>The berry has magically disappeared</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Nikonians, wherever you are in the world! A very happy Wednesday to you all. My contribution this week is ‘A Light in the dark’.</p><div></div>

<p>A windy day on the north shore of Lake Superior. The Grand Marais Lighthouse sits on a breakwater to protect the harbor and is 35 feet high. </p><div></div>

<p>On 2 Dec. 2012, in NW Florida, USA.</p><div></div>

<p>And a butterfly, a bit battered. On 2 Dec. 2012.</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning everyone! Can it really be week 49 of the year!</p>

<p>This guy changed direction suddenly and made for an interesting shot.</p><div></div>

<p>A couple from a mother / daughter shoot.</p><div></div>

<p>A week away; Loch Kirkaig close to our window; out for the sunset and after.</p><div></div>

<p>It's hard to go wrong, with a pretty girl in a funky old truck.</p><div></div>

<p>This is from the UK Ice Skating Championships last Sunday. D700, 70-200mm, 1/800, f3.2, ISO 3200, cleaned up in Photoshop a bit afterwards. Happy Wednesday.<br>

<p><img src="../photo/16644132" alt="" />Good day to everyone and it is quite amazing the variety of images so far and i appreciate them all. Perhaps something is in the air because I have chosen to put up one that i took a little while back that is different to my usual submissions. It was raining and I was in the tropics and there was this floor fan with its protective cage and I decided to see how I could photograph it. My submission is one of many 'tries' of that floor fan. </p><div></div>

<p>Street Market, Monterey</p><div></div>

<p>Last Sunday I went to an exhibition at a local university featuring seven meticulously reconditioned stained glass church windows, made by the Tiffany Co. in 1902.</p><div></div>

<p>Up to four layers of glass is used in each pane, giving subtle variations in color and texture. The wings are made of ripple glass, giving the effect of feathers.</p><div></div>

<p>Closeup of the details in the crown. Folded copper foil was used instead of lead for these smaller pieces.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Wednesday morning to all. Nice photos today.<br>

It was very foggy the other morning on our walk.<br>

First photo of flock of Canada geese erupting from a pond.<br>

Second photo of a fence line disappearing into the fog. </p><div></div>

<p>My picture also involves a kitchen and a window.</p>

<p>D800E, 50mm f/1.4 AF-D, ISO 900, 1/60 @ f/2.</p><div></div>

<p>Not precisely out my window, but someplace reasonably close by. Belle Isle in the James River where it goes through Richmond, Virginia is known for its rock formations. Here are a couple of eroded potholes.</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario.<br>

The thermal roller coaster here of late produced this in our pond waterfall, which I can see from my window. It was -22C last Thursday and +8C yesterday when I took this.</p><div></div>
