Friday morning brought fresh snow, and I headed out early to look for virginal golden-hour scenery. My loyal assistant spent his time trailing the pre-dawn fox tracks while I failed to produce a <em>single</em> worthy landscape. To make the cold walk more worth the trouble, he convinced me to play catch with a glove I'd taken off when shooting. And catch, he can. No hands were injured (just frozen) in the making of this Wednesday Pic.<br /><br />So: lend a <em>warm</em> hand, and post a photo showing what you've been up to with your Nikon gear in this new year.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph_leotta Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 <p ><strong>Winter time at the Bronx Shoreline</strong></p> <p ><strong> </strong></p> <p >It’s been cold. In Vermont has been near 0 all week so we stayed in NY this weekend to keep warm. That didn’t work; it went into the single digits at night and low teens during the day.</p> <p > </p> <p >I took a short outing just a bit down the road here in the Bronx to the Lagoon in Pelham Bay Park. Just a few quick snaps with the F5 on film. My local CVS drug store still has a one hour mini lab running in it. Just $2.25 to run a roll of film thru it without prints. Get the negatives; run them thru my Nikon Scanner and later that same day its workflow as usual. I’m going to shoot more film this year. I have all these beautiful film cameras that I loved for years doing nothing but sitting in a drawer for quite a while. Being limited to 36 shots on a roll is going to make me stop and compose more carefully, no blasting away with hundreds of shots on a card</p> <p > </p> <p ><strong>Nikon F5 - Nikkor 50mm f1.4 D Aperture-priority AE </strong></p> <p ><strong>Agfa Vista Iso 100 negative film scanned on Nikon ED4000 scanner</strong></p> <p > </p> <p >Agfa film has reappeared again.

tsypkin Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 <p>Great Wednesday to all! Wonderful images, as usual.<br> My contribution today is a photo of my father's first cousin, the last surviving relative I have on my paternal side. His life has been a typical East European Jewish story: parents who perished in Stalin's Great Terror, other family killed by the Nazis, etc. Now, in his late eighties, he lives with his son in California, and keeps his sense of humor. He is now the only person who can tell me what life was like in the pre-World War II Minsk, where my father's family is from.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 <p>It's actually still Tuesday here in California.... But....<br> Well I promised no birds today & I'm sticking to that. So as I see we're already going with a dog theme - that's what I'm following....<br> OK SO I went a little nuts after the Sigmonster ordeal.... So - Please meet WCR's Valkyrie, or as we call her<strong> Kyrie</strong> just 10 weeks old. Rottweiler puppy of the female pervasion.<br> Shot the other morning with the <strong>D700 paired with the 50mm AF f/1.4 at ISO 640. f/8 1/125s A mode EV - 0.3 </strong> (I so wish the stuff was not in the bg & am contemplating cloning it out in CS3)<br> I hope you will enjoy.<br> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/v4/p981596947-4.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamish_gray Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 <p>On Saturday my son and I decided (well actually <em>he</em> decided) that we would sleep in the snow cave we had dug out the week before. The temperature was now only minus 12 degrees outside as opposed to minus 27 a few days earlier. And inside the snow cave it was only minus 5. Here is a snap shot of a happy camper :-)<br /><br />D300, SB 900 and Sigma 8mm fisheye. 1/200s, ISO 200, f5.6. Flash bounced of cave wall behind me.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpessolano Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 <p>This is an experiment at using over-panning with people .... I am sorry I cannot lend a warm hand.<br> It is freezing cold here. In fact, what you see is a woman protecting herself form a snowstorm running home ... not rain!<br> <img src="http://thefoodtraveller.smugmug.com/Portfolio/TFT-fotolog/DSC8210/760642237_n9AHf-L.jpg" alt="" /><br> <strong> D700, AFS 24-70, f/7.1, 1/13s, iso200</strong></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmm Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 <p>Totally unprepared as I've done woefully little photography in recent times but its been weeks since I joined in so here goes...</p> <p>I'm going right back to a collection of images I took in Jordan in March last year and that are sitting here on my work PC (to show colleagues) with nowhere near the post-processing attention they deserve. Nevertheless I will NEVER forget taking those few steps around the bend in the gorge and getting this first, famous view of the Treasury at Petra. It is a truly jaw-dropping moment, and only gets better as you move on down the site.</p> <p>Good news is that a group of us who did a photo workshop a while back are getting together for brunch and a photographic excursion on Sunday morning in inner Sydney, so that should yield some new material for the next few Wednesdays!</p> <p>Cheers all.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Brennan Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 <p>It's the absolute height of summer downunder here in Australia. I'm really enjoying the freezing and cooler temperate climate photography from the Northern Hemisphere WEd. pic contributors.</p> <p>This shot was taken in the middle of a heatwave here, the temperature was around 41 deg. C which means the small birds in my garden keep close to the avail. water points. I thought I'd brave the searing heat on Monday this week for a couple of hours before these blue agapanthus flowers burnt off and become less photogenic. The bird is a New Holland Honey Eater.

Dieter Schaefer Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 <p>Neither cold nor white here on the South Coast in California - in fact it had been 70 degrees Fahrenheit (21 degrees Centigrade) on Saturday. Image created last Sunday - we are blessed to have a resident population of snowy plovers at the Coal Oil Point Reserve. They dig these shallow holes to rest in and can be approached carefully (on one's belly of course). D300 with 300/4 AF-S with TC-17EII attached, 1/1600s, f/6.7, ISO450.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
