<p>Happy Nikon Wednesday, all. Our local farmer's market is a never-ending supply of faces. We're fortunate in that the people running the recurring event invite musicians, chefs, and other interesting folks to keep the place lively. This three-piece was delivering some truly sublime jazz for a couple hours straight, and out in the sun. A labor of love, surely. <br /><br />Speaking of trios, I'm happy to see that once in a while we get a three-fer from some contributors to this thread each week. Keep it up!</p><div></div>

<p>I went to this location to capture some test images with the new 18-35mm/f3.5-4.5 AF-S, and I brought the 14-24mm/f2.8 AF-S along for comparison. I captured this image at 14mm, f11 on the D800E. The glass sculpture by Dale Chihuly occupies across three stories.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy almost-summer everyone:</p>

<p>I love the sharpness of this nearly 1:1 shot taken with my newly acquired [but used] 300mm AF-S f/4 plus TC-14E. It was taken with the lens wide open, handheld, in my back yard.</p><div></div>

Hello All, a few shots of Senso-ji Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo,Japan...<div></div>

<p>Congratulations to all who Graduated :)</p><div></div>

<p>Testing the D7100</p><div></div>

<p>This past weekend, I returned to a favorite setting of four years ago. Wanted to do SOMETHING different this time while being true to the original. The time of day was right so I decided to go for a sunburst in the upper left corner of the frame. Composed the shot carefully, adjusted the f/stop and waited for the results.</p><div></div>

<p><img src="/photo/17414052" alt="" />Good morning to everyone - fine shots indeed!<br>

I took mine a few hours ago in a farmers field just as the sun was setting.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Wednesday morning everyone!<br>

I continued testing my new D600 with speedlights, and this was one of the test shots from weekend.</p>

<p>Happy wednesday!</p>

<p>Another from Joshua Tree...</p><div></div>

<p>This past weekend we flew into Peoria, Illinois ...there last month for the Susan B Komen/Race For The Cure (Susan Komen's Hometown) ... got invited back by the locals for the 40th Annual 'Steamboat Classic' ... billed as "The World's Fastest 4 Miles" Runners in from all over the World. Left the hotel at 'zero dark thirty' with my dx body (D7000), and my FX lens bag...wake up, wake up. Here is an out-take from the finish ...Shadrack Kosgei with a run time of 18m5sec (about 4:30per mile!) ...Organizers set up on the Riverfront and gave away some 27 kegs of beer (cup at a time) to the runners and volunteers ... quite a party rolling by 9:30 am. This one, D7000/70-200.</p><div></div>

<p>We landed at a suburban airport in the middle of an airshow ... gave a few rides, and took a few. D600, 70-200.</p><div></div>

<p>And had time for a quick self-portrait at a nearby car show. Chrome work on the spare tire of an excellent vintage Hudson ... D600/14-24.</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots everyone! I took this in the early evening walking my dog. There was a light behind the foliage making for an interesting shot.</p><div></div>

<p>Baby deer in my backyard.....</p><div></div>

<p>I went out into the yard to try my ancient 28mm F3.5 AI on the D7000<br>
