<p>Wednesday greetings, Nikonians.<br /><br />I almost used posting this image as a chance to say something thoughtful about the conflict between engineering and cruel entropy. Or about the clash between order and chaos. Or about the irony of cursing rust even though it's what makes our blood work. But no. This just reminds me to wax my car. Pointed your Nikon gear at any clichés lately? Confess! And of course, share a photo.</p><div></div>

<p>Another in the Dogumentary series.</p>

<p>Mother and daughter.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Nikon Wednesday friends. I've missed the past few weeks, just too busy. Here's a shot from last winter.</p>

<h4>Beacon Hill, Winter Light -- D300</h4>

 

Saw this clash of order and chaos Monday on the way to work.

A medical gas truck driver hit, and sheared off, a gas pump. The driver was pulled out of the burning truck by 4 local brave fellows, and is lying on the ground up front. I don't know his current status but all are hoping for his recovery.<div></div>

<p>Celtics/Lakers kept me up, so I'll post early today!</p>

<p>This is from my sister-in-law's wedding last weekend.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone<br>

Today i have a photo of my eldest daughter at a friend's 21st Birthday. The wine made her extremely happy:-))<br>

Dad was there to make sure she got home</p><div></div>

<p>Good evening all (or good day if it's daytime),<br>

No cliche here, just a neat shot of a 747 waiting it's turn to take off after a brief but heavy thunderstorm at the Atlanta airport. Since the separation zone for a "heavy" like this one is five miles, they let us cut in front to prevent us from being later than we were. Colors were enhanced as it's tough to shoot through the dirty and hazy plane windows.<br>

Safe traveling.</p><div></div>

<p>This is almost like dialing in all but the last digit when trying to win a radio give-away ... without the rust. Anyway, the baseball season is winding down and the mighty Iron Birds defeated the Hot Rods in the first round of the playoffs.<br /> D700 + AF-S 300/f2.8, ISO 1600, 1/500s @ f/2.8</p><div></div>

<p>These birds are tamer than I would have thought. Nikon D300, 18-200mm Nikkor zoom.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everbody!<br>

Another shot from my recent trip to Germany - this one is from the Raptor Station in Hellenthal. Bald Eagle - Weisskopfseeadler in German.</p><div></div>

<p>ha! that eagle looks teutonic.</p>

<p>here's one from a street fair i shot last weekend...</p><div></div>

<p>This week marked the return for the third consecutive year of this wallaby to our garden for winter. Each year I'm able to get a little closer with all my photographic paraphernalia without spooking her (we believe it's a she) no need for a teleconverter this year.....</p>

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

<p>Just a wild bunny I saw hopping around next to a paring lot. Luckily I had the big zoom on my camera and pointed it out my car window. Not bad for a point and shoot. After I took the shot and saw it on the monitor, I knew that I at least had "something" for this Nikon Wednesday thing we do. </p>

Had struck out all day (Just 1 grizzly but VERY FAR) then Mama came around the corner.</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning! Happy NW!!!!!<br>

Here is a shot of the city of lights taken this week-end from up high...</p><div></div>

<p>My contribution is from a recent shoot. I have taken pictures of this family for several years. They just had twins and I feel really honored to be among the first to capture their moments.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone...<br>

I met this guy on my trip up to Northumberland back in April who said he was interested in taking some photos around London. We went down to the Tate Modern facing St Paul's Cathedral and took this photo.</p>

<div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday all.<br>

Been playing around with my IR converted D70 again. This is an old Castle used by kings as a 'stay over' while joining hunting parties in the area. Almost 'out of camera' but changed the color of the sky from red to blue.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's one from my recent trip to the marshes of Norfolk, slightly cropped.</p><div></div>

<p>Lines. Nikon D80</p><div></div>

<p >Hi everyone. Melbourne’s weather can change without warning. Perfect sunshine one minute, massive downpour the next. This shot was the point of such a transition during the weekend. Someone even offered me an umbrella.</p>

<p >Lens: AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2.8G IF-ED<br>

<p><img src="../photo/11090413" alt="" />A lonely fisherman in the city of Lachine (Montreal QC) in the South-western portion of Quebec. I had to distance myself from him since he looked at me scornfully with my camera when I was much closer. Most noticeable of Lachine's features is the lachine Canal and its recreational facilities, including the <a title="Lachine Canal National Historic Site" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lachine_Canal_National_Historic_Site">Lachine Canal National Historic Site</a>. Around the canal's inlet, in the southern part of the borough, are located <a title="The Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fur_Trade_at_Lachine_National_Historic_Site">The Fur Trade at Lachine National Historic Site</a>, <a title="René Lévesque" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_L%C3%A9vesque">René Lévesque</a> Park (on a long peninsula extending into Lac Saint-Louis), and the Musée de Lachine, which has collections of modern <a title="Public art" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_art">outdoor sculpture</a> both on its own grounds, in René Lévesque Park, and in other sites throughout the borough.</p><div></div>
