<p>Happy Wednesday, Nikonistas. Here in the US, it was a holiday weekend. I spent a pleasant day photographing one of my favorite subjects (bird dogs). This young pup was right in the middle of that sometimes-destructive teething period. But better a stick than a kitchen chair leg. Were you out with your Nikon gear this past week, working on something enjoyable? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everyone...My image was taken last weekend at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin, Texas. Nikon D80, 18-135 Lens, f/5.3, 1/320, ISO 200</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday. Just trying our my new lens. I think I like it.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone<br>

Today i am inputting a photo where the subject was having a bit of fun trying to look down and out.<br>

It is not a self portrait :-)))</p><div></div>

This one-handed tackle by Jason Gram on Gary Ablett as he headed toward goal in the dying minutes of the last quarter of the second AFL Qualifying Final helped St Kilda 12.11 (83) defeat Geelong 11.13 (79). It rained heavily after half-time.</p>

<p>Camera: Nikon D300<br>

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

Settings: 135 mm, 1/400 sec, f/2.8 and ISO 720 (Manual, hand held, UV filter)</p><div></div>

<p>My Bean, first day of 3rd grade today...where does the time go?</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Tuesday from Seattle!<br>

Sweet shot, Matt...thanks for the start.</p>

<p>Very nice capture, Greg...I am always amazed and humbled by a good sports moment.</p>

<p>Jennifer...lovely shot and I hear you. Our oldest just went into 4th grade today...a little heartbreaking.</p>

<p>My contribution is from a recent shoot with a wonderfully easy young man...the parents brought the hat. The hat inspired the cards.</p>

<div></div>

<p><img src="../photo/11572410" alt="" />This shot taken at my local waterfront park in the city of Candiac. I was packing up to go home and the light was very low. I saw some ducks so I prepared my camera, increased ISO to 1250 and turned VR ON. Hope you like it.</p><div></div>

<p>Anyway, this is sort of my vision of what happens when the bridal party lapse into a coma from boring long slooow... formal sessions. This was a great group to work with and up for whatever the bride and I wanted.<br>

I call this "Long boring wedding formals rest in peace!"<br>

There are a few more images from this sequence on my blog that I think add to the theme, and yes they were done quickly.<br>

Nikon D3 24-70mm at 24mm f6.3 1/3200 sec. while I ran around the group shooting from different angles.</p>

<p>Hey everyone! This week is going by way to fast. My picture is just a portrait, CLS being used to fire the flash, Love it!</p><div></div>

<p>Carmel River Beach</p><div></div>

<p>'29 Ford Model "A" Snowmobile </p><div></div>

<p>This is from my recent visit to Yellowstone NP.<br /> Even the most experienced and talented photographer could not capture the whole beauty of that place.<br /> Simply stunning.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken just after sunrise. D90 50mm 1.8 AF</p><div></div>

<p>Great stuff so far. I almost forgot so it was a good thing I had to work a little late to finish my planbook. My entry this week is a capture of some wild mushrooms. Used my Nikon D300 with Sigma 70-200 f/2.8. I shot it wide open at ISO 800.</p><div></div>

<p>Morning and Hi Nikonistas,<br>

Many impressive images already. Looks like another bumper week!<br>

I'm going Tigers again, just love these Animals and have some more stunning shots, this one the subject loose so content, it summed up how I felt at the time when I was watching...<br>

Looking forward to seeing everybody's images.<br>

D40X VR 55-200mm, 135mm @ F/5 @ 1/160s, ISO 200. Little bit of tweaking in View NX.<br>

<p>The surf is back up at Rincon Point. During the summer the Pacific is a lake, but for Labor Day weekend some beautiful rollers came in and the surfers were out in force.</p><div></div>

<p>Took this while out on a sunday walk. This is a very popular area for outdoor enthusiasts. In a couple of months these hills will be covered with snow and our mountain boots will be replaced by cross-country skis.</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning!</p>

<p>Thanks to Monika and P Watson for your kind comments on last week's bees - glad you also enjoyed them. Incidentally, my friend has now seen the print and assures me that we are seeing not a drone, but the QUEEN in that photo - look near the center of the shot for the bee with a very much larger dark blob on her back.</p>

<p>Recently I had an opportunity to go "behind the scenes" on a UK steam (heritage) railway. This is a candid shot of a signalman contemplating his frame, shortly after a period of sustained physical and mental effort, when two trains crossed just outside his box. A bit like photography, really...</p><div></div>

<p>Hamish - fabulous capture: love it!</p>

<p>Thank you Peter!</p>

<p>Walking in Balmain, Sydney</p><div></div>

<p>This bunch of flowers was photographed through the window.</p><div></div>

<p>Wednesday already! Here's a 1972 Fender Telecaster.</p><div></div>

<p>As every week, a good way to start the day with some beautiful photography from around the world.<br>

Shot a couple of weeks ago during Sail Amsterdam. Today the weather is too miserable to even consider going out.</p>
