Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC #20

Recommended Posts

<p>This is a typical scene in spanish villages, there is <em>always</em> little ladies jumping rope... the first I had on mind after visualizing that pic was Cartier-Bresson... a burst of shots perhaps will give me the pic... well, here it is; of course light years from him but I think I catched my own`s humble "decisive moment"... hmmm, what is it?... I think I hear Bernard and Renè<em> early raisers</em> asking for way... :)</p>

<p>Nikon D700 @ 400ISO, 14-24/2.8AFS wide open at 24mm., 1/500 sec., badly used monochrome mixer in Aperture.</p>

<p><em><strong>Please post your favourite pic if you like taken with Nikon gear, check your file size before posting, don`t forget to include gear info... as usual. Thanks.</strong></em></p><div>00TLCZ-134131584.jpg.c297c7a28ce0e3a034491c234180ba9c.jpg</div>

<p>Hello everybody! Are we ready for another WeDNeSDaY PiC thread?<br>

Well, I surely am! Just a few words, I hope it's not too boring.<br>

The picture I am posting today is something really new for me. To start with, I don't like taking people's pictures unless its some kind of candy. I was inspired from so many shots here in this thread other wise I wouldn't try it. Specially I've been following some of Eric Arnold's work. To be honest I had no idea what I was doing nor even what angle would be nice. I still don't but after many shots I was happy with my results. Maybe it's not a good shot for some of you but for my standards it's great. So what I am trying to say is that this is what this thread is all about. To share our work, see other member's work, learn from it and get the inspiration to try something new. A word of gratitude to Jose who came out with such a great idea.<br>

Pic info: D300 - AFS 17-55 f/2.8G wide open @ 1/60s<br>

ISO 200, EV -1.0<br>

SB 600 flash exposure compensation +0.3 EV<br>

NX2 D Lighting applied and picture control portrait mode<br>

As I said before, I had no idea what to do in a shot like this. I was just playing with the controls and maybe the setting doesn't make any sense. If any one would be willing to give me some advices I'd appreciate it. Thank you for your patience! Cheers!</p>

<p>JOSE... almost Thursday in our side!</p><div>00TLCi-134133584.jpg.c012bec1b6603de3c51bda848ab91586.jpg</div>

<p>Can't sleep, so I'm in early on this one. Took this during a visit to a local mission. While touring the grounds, I saw this calla lily tucked away in some greenery, sitting there all by itself, and poking its way out into the sun.</p>

<p>D700, handheld, 24-70 Nikkor zoom @62mm, f9, ISO 400, available light and matrix metering.</p><div>00TLCn-134133684.jpg.888beb5f9762df2748a93f9ebef64317.jpg</div>

<p>Jose - wonderful pic. And what do you mean 'early risers' by the way? Its almost dinner time here in Sydney!</p>

<p>My contribution this week is a humble image taken in the old quarter of Dubai - just some old carpets provided so that people can borrow them for prayers. I haven't done anything to it and its nothing special but it speaks to me about the trip so I really like it anyway.</p><div>00TLCu-134135684.thumb.JPG.fde01b0e5cad0bd85d50c4246bba8adf.JPG</div>

<p>History can repeat itself, or at least a photo scene can.........Again driving to work early in the morning - this lay before me - very similar light and fog blanket to a series of photos I took about this time last year. Autumn is <em><strong>the</strong></em> best time of year for light in S.E Australia........</p><div>00TLD0-134135884.jpg.eb1c82461944c126b6878c2526c785c4.jpg</div>

<p>Great pictures, everyone! Matthew's landscape and Hasse's portrait are my favorite.<br>

This has been a tough week, so I had to go back to my archives and bring back this picture from last year.<br>

F4 + E-Series 28mm f/2.8 @ f/5.6, Fuji Neopan 400, scanned with Epson V200 and processed in Lightroom.</p>

<p>We've had really bad weather the last week so I haven't been inspired to get out and take pictures. So here's one from a couple of weeks back on a very good climbing day. It's a snap shot of my wife leading up a route at our local crag. <br /><br />D300 with Nikon's 12-24 @ 13mm, f8, ISO 200, 1/320s.</p><div>00TLDs-134149584.jpg.7a66ec88fb3a4769d724028fb4319b38.jpg</div>

<p>wow, thanks for the compliment, rene!! live music shots are harder than they look, huh?<br>

my favorite pic this week is from a record release party for BRWN BFLO (brown buffalo), a Latin rap group out of Oakland who have a very cool vibe. this shot is a straight out of the camera jpeg, converted to sepia.</p>

<p>technical stuff: 1/100 sec, f/2.8. iso 1600, 17-50 @17mm, d300.</p>

<p>can't wait to see what comes next... i know some folks have been looking forward to the Nikon Wednesday pic all week, right?</p>

<p>Some very inspiring photographs already - wonderful stuff!</p>

<p>For my photo this week I was walking out with my Pronea 6i and I saw this Spring scene. Everything was fresh and the cow parsley set off this track I thought. Wendover woods are in the background. I used the 30-60mm IX-Nikkor and Kodak HD100 film.</p><div>00TLDx-134149784.JPG.5db515c6aa8dd339564ac4d4518a1088.JPG</div>

<p>Sjoerd,</p>

<p>The red tree in the 'fog' photo is a rather large pin oak showing some good autumn colour.</p>

<p>Great photos already again this week, It's a pleasure to view what goes on sesonally on the other side of the planet.</p>

<p>I admire those who photograph people especially as I find human subject matter very difficult to photograph (I think the problem is me......) </p>

<p>Hi,<br>

great start to Wednesday as usual. Out in the park with my boys last night, got son #2 to hold SB-800 to camera left for son #1 to pose on bike. D80, Sigma 10-20. Not long after a HUGE Heron flew so near (5m?) to us, but I'd put the camera back in the bag, and he carried on up the river - one to camp out for another day with a longer lens.<br>

<p>Beautiful shots as always, Matthew and I love Sjoerd's pattern. Been playing with some of that in Europe myself, maybe post one next week.</p>

<p>Greetings this week from Gibralter, a British colony with their own pound currency but they drive on the right side of the road like the EU. Guess that makes sense since they are next door to Spain.</p>

<p>There is one road that connects the Rock to Spain but weird, it goes through the airport runway so the road shuts down for planes. This is a shot from the fort high above Gibralter looking over the airport into Spain. Gear was a D300 with 18-200VR, ISO 200, 1/320 at f/11.</p>
