This forum's moderators are allowing up to three images per week, so share some work!Hello Nikonistas - a good Wednesday to everyone. Had my rig out shooting at the local county fair the other day. Two local bloggers were just dying to get up onto the displayed ladder truck so they could get panoramic shots of the sprawling fairgrounds. The truck's crew, of course, would have none of that. But one young firefighter volunteered to head up 90' of ladder with a pocket full of smart phones to get a bunch of shots on their behalf. Public servant indeed! How high did your Nikon gear get this last week? Share!
Recently processed self portrait taken earlier this summer at Deadvlei, in the Namib Desert. The trees are the subjects, but I got bored and decided to get in the photo. When the sun set we shot star fields and illuminated the trees with flashlights. The star field is posted as my second shot.
Star field at Deadvlei, Namibia. The small smudge in the sky to the right of the tree is the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the Milky Way’s satellite galaxies.
And sure enough, he spent 20 minutes shooting - he had cargo pants pockets full of phones. I've been getting into low-altitude aerial photography lately, but this guy was doing it the old fashioned way.
This ones from a walk along the sea shore a couple hours ago. Tonight was a blue moon and a few paddlers were out enjoying it. Nikon D800E, 70-300 VR @ f/7.1
How high - about 9000ft but still with solid ground under my feet: Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains. All images with D300 and 16-85.
Some photos of my old cars-was cleaning out the storage area where I keep them and it seemed like a great photo op-a bit of American history.

And from the woods, a bracket fungus - Polyporus (Laetiporus) sulphureus attacks the heartwood and kills the tree slowly, over years.
These kids were spinning one another around on a old office chair. Nikon D700 with 24-120mm/f4 AF-S VR @ 28mm.
Jeff, great shots! Was up in the middle of the night a few nights ago and with an almost full moon, decided to experiment with some basic night photography, adding a bit of fill light with flash.
Good Wednesday morning to all. Great shots so far today. My first shot is a ferris wheel in the early morning hours at Wachapreague, Va.
My wife and I got to spend some time in NY city 2 weeks ago. We visited the 9/11 Memorial. Very sad to see all those names carved in granite. This woman spent a long time at this spot. Nikon D3, Nikon 28-300 3.5, F/5.0, 1/100 sec, ISO 2,000
After a bit of pencil sharpening I decided to spring for the Nikkor 70-200/2.8 VR II. Then I had to take a couple of shots to test, right? So here is the 100% crop of the tree I chose, taken from the distance of 175 feet hand-held. Wish I could show the actual resolution, but to do that, Photo Net would have to allow file sizes way bigger than the 300K limit. D800, ISO 1200, 200mm, f/11, 1/200. [WOW]
A happy wednesday everyone! Lotsa great contributions so far, my personal favorites include Jeff's Star-field and Norman's double-portrait. I've had some fun with a 35 years old Fisheye-Nikkor and expired Agfa-film: "6 knots" "Danish trio" both shots with Nikon FM2, Fisheye-Nikkor 16/3.5, probably with one of the built-in-filters, expired Agfa APX 100 in Diafine
Hello my friends, l o v e l y photos so far, Great work All! Three summer snapshots for this week...Take care!
Happy Wednesday everyone! Sorry for not contributing for a few weeks; we've had the builders in, and I must confess to losing my photographic motivation a bit. I have been enjoying looking at all your contributions though. This week I particularly love Jeff's night shot, Bill's kitten and Georg's black and white boats. Here are a couple of shots of my daughter taken in a wheat field near our home. Hope you like them
Picked up a really nice F4 (my first) last week, and wanted to test the manual focus indicator in the viewfinder. I used a 50mm F/1.2 wide open and focused on Rachel's left eye. Pretty impressed, and probably more accurate than my organic focusing methods! Notice the partial heterochromia iridum in her left eye too. First time I've seen that. Cool, but a little freaky.
The town where we stay is having a worship celebration of ghost month (lunar July). Taken with Voigtlander 58mm.
Greetings on a lovely Wednesday morning. We have a neighbour who tends to drop by unexpectedly for dinner. He helps himself to whatever's available ...
Just climbed up into some sand dunes on Lake Michigan's west shore, to photograph the later varieties of wildflowers. Summer's waning here!
Roseate Spoonbill, shot with Nikon D300 and Sigma 70-200 f2.8 APO DG II with Sigma TC 1.4. Not sure if my focus was a little off or if the lens/TC combo is a little soft.
I am late. I had misplaced my Tamron 90mm macro so when i found it today, I went to a hedge that had some spider webs and went for an abstract view. Cropped and contrast added.
Late to the party again, but I did take the photo on Wednesday at the Tule Elk Reserve at the Point Reyes National Seashore. Such magnificent animals! I'm not certain my Nikon got high from the experience, but I was giddy enough.
