<p>OK, so there I was shooting some special truck mods, and the dealer wants to be sure that we make note of the twin diesel tanks.<br /><br />I'm a sucker for metallic surfaces, and this Sigma 35/1.4 is just a delight on things with details. Everybody shoots the occasional object or texture that for some reason seems like a good idea at the time, but which is guaranteed to be monumentally uninteresting to everyone else. So let's see 'em! Or whatever you've been up to, of course - and of course a happy Nikon Wednesday to everyone.<br>

<p>One from December 2013. The hull of the Cutty Sark.</p><div></div>

<p>35mm F1.4 Nikon AIS still a great lens</p><div></div>

<p>Ghandi in the snow</p><div></div>

<p>Rabbit in the snow</p><div></div>

<p>Squirrel in the snow</p><div></div>

<p>A day at the Zoo with the flirt, 'Bella."</p><div></div>

<p>Matt, this shot shows the interior of an old country house kitchen. I quite like the textures, but PNers will probably find them 'monumentally uninteresting'! It was a dark day so, handheld, at least my 50mm prime had an outing...<br>

<br>

Happy Nikon Wednesday to all.</p><div></div>

<p>I also found some metal and some 'texture'</p>

<p>Getting back to loving my prime lens. Nikon 35 f1/8G for DX, looking to add another prime lens to my kit.</p><div></div>

<p>Intentional blurred shot, same camera and lens.</p><div></div>

<p>Sometimes, just sometimes, ya gotta pass on the new lens...</p>

<div></div>

<p>Got the pleasure of doing portraits of this couple last week. Nikon D3X, Nikon 300 2.8, 1/500 sec, F/6.3, ISO 400</p><div></div>

<p>Peter Heritage I love your kitchen pic. Lots of great texture!!</p>

<p>Toilet seat detail.....c'mon, really???</p><div></div>

<p>Winter's last blast, I hope. These are a couple of Victorian homes that have been recently renovated - the snow has added a nice touch to the roof shapes.</p><div></div>

<p>Cory on her morning walk.</p><div></div>

<p>Wayne's metal photo looks like the front of a VW van.</p>

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

<p>Here are mine. Just a squirrel. Enjoy. Nikon D800 + Nikon 300mm f4.</p><div></div>

<p>#2</p><div></div>

<p>#3</p><div></div>

<p><img src="/photodb/folder?folder_id=1013966" alt="" />Had a few hours in Martinique recently in the town of Pelee which was destroyed in a major volcanic eruption in 1902. This was taken from a taxi that was moving slowly. I converted it to B&W with Nik Capture.</p>

<p>Lots of great images and a fabulous looking toilet seat. I have never seen one in that kind of light. Also Shash with a very unique POV on the cutty.</p><div></div>

<p>I've always loved texture; my contribution this week is of the non metallic variety.</p>

<p>@ Sasvata Chatterjee -- I really liked your shot of the Cutty Sark.</p><div></div>

<p>CBS is shooting a Reality Show in Charleston, SC which is now on Bravo: Show is on the lines of a Peyton Place with southern characters and is controversial locally. Here's a picture of the setting up for a scene.</p><div></div>
