<p>Hello Nikon people, and a good Wednesday to everyone. A great thread last week, to be sure - people, critters, machines, buildings, sports, more critters, more people, the sky in many moods, bugs bigger than your head, flowing water, bird ID mysteries solved - more this week, please! For me, it was that most elusive of subjects: the person who actually uses those wet chalk pens to put up the daily special menu options on the bistro black board. Caught him in the act (and glad I didn't catch him in the act of breaking his neck, standing on a table like that!). Did you take your Nikon gear to lunch? Share!</p><div></div>

<p>Posting after a long time, only because I have some shots to post! Took someone to Medieval Times here in Dallas, and took the opportunity to try out my redone shooting/custom settings bank for action. </p><div></div>

<p>Next one at Medieval Times...</p><div></div>

<p>Final one at Medieval Times...</p><div></div>

<p>I may have posted this before, but Matt's lunch suggestion reminded me of it. It was part of a recent gallery show. It didn't sell, so I think I'll give the framed 11 x 14 print to the restaurant. I think they might like it.</p>

<p>Hi everyone in the Nikon forum. Hope everyone's had a great week & can't wait to see all the photos. Sasvata - I love your horse photos & would be glad to tell you the name of the movements in photos # 2 & 3 if you'd like. Just let me know & I'll supply them :)<br /> I'm still work on our large pond and due to that, that's what I have to offer :)<br /> Shot with my old and much trusted D300 & the lenses are the Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-S or the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 Macro<br /> 1, <strong>NIKON D300, f/8 @ 300 mm, 1/320, ISO 400, -1/3 E.V. "Tiny Visitor"</strong><br /> <strong><img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s10/v103/p1709802540-5.jpg" alt="" /> </strong><br /> <strong><br /></strong>2. <strong>D300, f/8 @ 150 mm, 1/320, ISO 400, -1/3 E.V. "Hellooooooooo"</strong><br /> <strong><img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s9/v91/p1764648311-5.jpg" alt="" /></strong><br /> <br /> 3. <strong>D300, f/8 @ 300 mm, 1/640, ISO 400, -1/3 E.V.

<p>Nightscape photography from a high desert location, taken this past Saturday night at around 11:00pm. I thought it would be easy to take a "selfie" -- but it's surprisingly difficult to stand perfectly still for 20 secs! Taken with a D600 and Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 lens, ISO 4000, exposure time 20 secs. </p><div></div>

<p>Went to a family reunion on my wife's side this weekend. The pics of the kids are the best; they are not inhibited or reserved like adults!</p><div></div>

<p>Boys playing football the the reunion.</p><div></div>

<p>Grandma and grandchild at the reunion.</p><div></div>

<p>Only one photo this week as I am tied up with other things. This was taken while walking in Edinburgh. I was experimenting with showing movement using longer shutter speeds while walking. This is why we buy those sharp Nikkor lenses!</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning all.</p>

<p>Good morning everyone.</p><div></div>

<p>Really wonderful shots so far today. Can't wait to see them all at the end of the day.<br>

I went to a car cruise about 3 weeks ago and a fellow noticed me taking photos of his car(s).<br>

He asked me to come to his house and take some more photos of the cars so he could post<br>

the photos and try to sell the cars. <br>

The first photo is the 1947 Cadillac. And third photo is a Chevy SSR. </p><div></div>
