<p>Happy Nikon Wednesday, all. Still with the steamy weather, yet. Great time to go see a movie. Ever wonder what it takes to keep a 10-plex cinema complex cool and dried out in hot, hot weather? It takes a really, <em>really</em> big roof-top HVAC unit. I caught this crew swapping out such a unit the other morning. It barely fit on an extended 18-wheel trailer. Quite something to be dangling over top of the local parked cars and retail shops. They made it look easy. Had your Nikon gear at hand to capture our infrastructure being maintained by worker bees? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Hello All, We had a bit of rain last week, so I made a trip to the local waterfall near my house. Shot with a Nikon D80, 70-300mm, ISO 400, f/18, 1/13.</p><div></div>

<p>Not working on OUR infrastructure but...I've been hoping to get a shot of the "Mating Game" with either damselflies or dragonflies. Finally got one this past week at the beach. I guess it is a romantic place after all. ;-) D90/Sigma 150mm/Sigma 1.4x teleconverter @ 1/60, f/8, ISO 160. (cropped a bit off the right side)</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>Discos fish from a fishtank with reasonable glass</p><div></div>

<p>Worker bee, but in this instance he's demolishing an infrastructure. I occasionally shoot before-and-afters for a friend, and this shot was not planned at all.</p><div></div>

<p>The Govinator. Can you spot the security guy?</p><div></div>

<p>Great photos, everyone! My contribution today is a photo taken in the courtyard of the Monterey Museum of Art at Rancho Mirada, where I went to see a great exhibit of Ansel Adams. <br>

@ <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=127625">Sanford Gerald</a> -- the security guy is behind the governor to the left from your camera.</p><div></div>

<p>Great stuff already! Continuing Matt's theme, here's mine...</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

Fantastic photos, I am envious. Mine from an old train station. <br>

Taken with Nikon D700, 24-70mm, f/2.8@ISO 200, 1/800s, f/3.2<br>

Have a lovely week.</p><div></div>

<p>Have a great Wednesday!</p><div></div>

<p><img src="../photo/10737308" alt="" />Good day and hope everyone is having a fun time. I was away on a road trip to Atlantic Canada for a couple of weeks and managed to visit Newfoundland for the first time. the image here is taken at Port aux basques in newfoundland.</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning, everyone. Great stuff. Jana and Jonas' images are my favorite so far. This is from a recent concert here in town.</p><div></div>

<p>Playing around with IR camera gave this 'Fantasy Landscape'.</p><div></div>

<p><a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4781506">Jonas Fjellstedt</a> - Nice photo!<br>

Here's another body of water. This was taken on the shores of the Beauly Firth near Inverness, Scotland.</p><div></div>

<p>Two favorites so far: Jeannean Buglady's Damselflies and Jonas Fjellstedt's toned seascape.</p>

<div></div>

<p>Great pics so far everyone. Here's a a shot taken on the backstretch at Saratoga Racecourse in Saratoga Springs, NY a few weeks ago. </p><div></div>

<p>Hi there,<br /> More from Terra Natura, Benidorm, Spain. One of their <a href="../photo/11534071">Tigers</a> having a dip.<br /> Hope you all like.<br /> <em>D40X, VR 55-200mm F/4-5.6G (@80mm) F/5 @ 1/400s, ISO 200</em><br /> <a href="../photo/11534071"><img src="../photo/11534071" alt="" /></a><br /> <em><br /></em></p><div></div>

<p>Great shots so far. My contribution is my journey on Friday to 23rd street in Manhattan. I was on my way to a photography workshop and had some time to kill.<br>

I used my d300 and sigma 70-200 f/2.8. Heavy but fun to shoot street photos with. Converted to b&w using lightroom 3.</p><div></div>

<p>I came across this Blacksmith near Killarney, Co. Kerry. It was very dark in the Forge and I only had ISO 100 film. With the 50mm f1.8 wide open and metering off the red hot iron the shutter speed was still about 1 second. So I attempted to try and record the movement of the craftsman rather than get things pin sharp...</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Guys<br>

Sorry about the noise but i forgot to change the ISO back down :-)))</p><div></div>

<p>This photo is from Hellyer Park Velodrome in San Jose, CA. The coaches are running a series of sessions to introduce kids to riding and racing fixed-gear no-brakes bicycles on the track. I've been taking my niece and she's been having a great time. While she rides, I photograph. Here is one of two of the more skilled boys on the track, Trey (on the left) and Ayoub (on the right).</p><div></div>

<p>this week in nikon: scraper bikes.</p><div></div>

<p>I took this shot of worker bees last week, at a friend's hive. If you look carefully, you may see a drone - it's bigger than the workers.</p><div></div>
