<p>Happy Wednesday, all. With the holidays behind us, it's back to business. Personal productivity. Bustle and hustle! No efficiency deficiency, or shirking of working! Perhaps it's time to organize those last two months worth of image files? I'm know I'm behind on that chore, and that got me to thinking about workflow. Which is when I noticed <em>these</em> guys, and theirs. The walk-about zoom was handy for this D300 shot, made at ISO 640 and 1/50th, using Nikon's 18-200 VR at 18mm and f/5.6.<br /><br />Please proceed (in an efficient, orderly fashion) and post a photo to show what you've been doing with your Nikon gear.</p><div>00VYCq-211909584.jpg.8d6e7099bfa1c7e202f6b732cbcf0008.jpg</div>

<p>Happy WeDNeSDaY everyone!</p>

<p>So Matt is working until midnight again to get the thread going… Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>I was just taking another look to last week's thread! Uhmmm! It was really nice! Thanks again to all those who mentioned my shot….</p>

<p>I'm still working on all my shots from my last trip and I keep finding new stuff overytime…. I thought I should try something different… So this is the main gate to an old castle in ruins, "Castello di Prato" in Toscana, Italy….. I really don't know why I took this shot on the way out, but after looking at it I kinna like it…..</p>

<p>So!? Let's start this week trip around the World…… Cheers!!!</p>

<p>Well, Wednesday will be a busy day so thought I'd post just after midnight then hit the sack. In San Diego last week and watched the Carnival Elation slip the bonds of the dock and skim the inky waters of San Diego Bay. With a setting sun behind, the glow of the ship was captivating enough for me to park the car and grab a few shots.<br>

Happy Wednesday to all.</p>

<p><strong>What was old is new again</strong><br /><strong></strong><br />Certain things have always bothered me in the back of my mind. One was what happened to all my black and white negatives from the 70’s when I started taking pictures. When I got married and moved out from my parent’s house they went crazy and about 6 months later they threw out my darkroom. I still have not gotten over it. I brought the house from my mother a few years ago and moved my family in. Trying to save Christmas decorations in the attic last week I found a box with about 60 rolls or 2000 of my negatives. Yippee</p>

<p>I spent a few days and figured out how to make my Nikon coolscan ED4000 work with black and white negatives (thanks to some help in the Nikon Forum). Here’s one of the finds:</p>

<p>I've had this location pegged for months now, just waiting for the day with exactly the right conditions. Tuesday was that day consisting of hoarfrost and the sun poking out several times between mixed clouds.<br>

<p>Good morning and happy Wednesday everybody.<br>

At my place it is below 0 degrees Celsius and cloudy so I started a little project documenting interiors from today in a detailed way, starting at home and with friends. Here is an example.</p>

Greetings to all! It's another terrific Wednesday thread!

My only subject lately have been dogs -- it's raining here, so they are playing indoors, my golden retriever and his Yorkshire

terrier friend. I've had a great difficulty over the years to render by dog's color correctly: he is reddish, but not as red as he

often appears in photographs. Both the flash and often sunlight frequently make him look this way. Sometimes, though, I get

the color right. This time it's just a little bit too red.

<p>There's not much story to go with my picture, except that it's time to tour some Universities with my son so he can decide where he wants to go to school. I just got my 24mm lens back from the shop -- it's 35 years old so it was due for some cleaning and tightening -- and it does OK. Never quite sharp in the last couple of mm from the corners, when focused at a distance. It does better when you focus up closer.</p><div>00VYEG-211931684.thumb.jpg.efb9c1230af64079ea0712958635e635.jpg</div>

<p>Hello Everyone,<br>

I've been following this thread for several months now and have been very inspired by it. Here is my first submission, part of an experiment to see whether I could take my camera climbing and keep it out of my pack all day.<br>

Mike leads the way to the base of our climb on a deserted Ben Nevis in the Scottish Highlands.</p><div>00VYEH-211933684.jpg.60ddad6824499fdac117a11cb8d0e599.jpg</div>
