<p>Hello Nikon people, and a good Wednesday to all. I'm crunching through a fair number of stills taken along side the mountain of video I shot at a recent event. The client is all about the video, but of course I can't stop from shooting photographs of stuff that catches my eye. In this case, the glorious hood ornament of a 1940's Cadillac. Had an eye for the details lately? Share!</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Pnet Nikon forum. Looking forward to seeing what you all have to share this week. Last week was wonderful as usual.<br /> Matt - always details. And that's lovely details :)<br>

Rich - that's just lovely :)<br /> <br /> This week I staying with my theme of late - horses. All I’ve been photographing.... I apologize to those who don’t like horses. This week it’s our boys again. I let them do a few moments of supervised play & this is what I got. I felt all these would look better in B&W so I converted them all to B&W.<br /> All shot with the D800 & the 24-70 AF-S f/2.8 G ED<br /> # 1 NIKON D800, f/3.2 @ 70 mm, 1/1600, ISO 1600, -1/3 EV, Shutter Priority<br />“Making some Dust!!!”<br /> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s12/v183/p426257557-5.jpg" alt="" /><br /> # 2 NIKON D800, f/3.2 @ 70 mm, 1/1600, ISO 1600, -1/3 EV, Shutter Priority<br />“Let’s Show off, the girls are watching!!!”<br /> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s12/v178/p264019064-5.jpg" alt="" /><br /> # 3 NIKON D800, f/2.8 @ 24 mm, 1/500, ISO 400, -1/3 EV, Shutter Priority<br />“We’re nice boys...”<br /> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s7/v156/p478209328-5.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Sorry long time since I have been here. I have not had the opportunity to come around, so here is a photo from my latest trip to Myanmar: </p><div></div>

<p>I was testing the 28mm f/3.5 PC-Nikkor at night and noticed the iris star patterns mirrored the fake windmill ice dispenser. This fellow in yellow walked into the shot and paused for a moment. Made a test shot more interesting.<br>

<p>Erik, love your photo.</p>

<p>My "eye for detail" is rather less sophisticated. I call it "along the tracks"...</p><div></div>

<p>WW II War Birds on tour last week. Pictured is a P-51</p><div></div>

<p>Taken in my garden a couple of days ago. Enjoy. Nikon Df w/ Voigtlander 28mm.</p><div></div>

<p>In another thread, the Tamron 28-75/2.8 was suggested to me. I snatched up a used one from KEH; it arrived Friday. The weekend here in southwestern PA was beautiful so I had to try out my "new" lens. It's going to be a good lens for me as it's going to teach me a lot of things-and with no stabilization, hand-holding techniques will be at the top of the list! I think I'll keep the lens, yes?</p><div></div>

<p>Lil Judd - you just keep right on posting those horse photos. Matt - love the opening shot! Chris, love the colors in your flowers (whose name is escaping me at the moment...)</p>

<p>The beautiful bridge that crosses the Penobscot River from Bucksport Maine to Verona Island.<br>

The photo is looking from the Verona Island side. </p><div></div>

<p>Scarecrows are everywhere in town. The best theme was this colonial scarecrow in front of the Historical Society's colonial house.</p><div></div>

<p>This one is too realistic ... it will keep some of the kids off his porch next Friday.</p><div></div>

<p>Hey Matt, found one just like it. In a car museum though, so access and hence the freedom to compose were severely limited.</p><div></div>

<p>Here are a couple of shots from walking around Manila (D800 with 28-300, cropped square).<br>

<p>Ball drilling at Aleta Sill's Bowling World. I struggled at first to eliminate the reflections but finally decided they made the shot more interesting. </p><div></div>

<p>AT-6 Warbird. This is a WWII era flight trainer in Dallas. For $345 you can take a short demo ride. </p><div></div>
