<p>A good Wednesday to you, Nikon people. Had to tackle a quick autumn-themed signage job, so out the back door and into the suburban forest microcosm I went. Almost had to fight the local alpha whitetail buck and his squirrel minions for a hatfull of prize acorns, but they let me go in peace. Then inside to the studio, where a simply <em>prehistoric</em> D200 has permanent ISO100 still-life duty. So, Nikonistas: what similarly gripping adventure led to your recent work? Share a photo! And don't hold back just to make all 14 of the Canon Thursday people feel better. They can take it. (<em>Of course I jest, Canonites, your new weekly thread has been looking great)</em></p><div>00XHzr-280949584.jpg.e8a7ac8f6b94604aff17cdac3d990c3a.jpg</div>

<p>Amazing what these current Nikon models will do. This with a D300. Candle light and some inside lights spilling out onto the deck. A bit of a birthday party, as she blows out the candles. Accompanied by some friendly ghosts. I'm thrilled with the images I'm getting from my Nikon gear!<br>

<p>Intrigued by the light show Jeff! Finally got a dragonfly in the shade for a change. Guess it's been too hot for them too. D90/Sigma 150mm/Sigma 1.4x teleconverter, natural light, 1/125, f/9.5, ISO 500. Loss of detail at this size and resolution, but you get the idea. :)</p>

<p>Ok, I'll be the first to post an image captured with the new 28-300mm/f3.5-5.6 AF-S VR super zoom.</p>

<p>There was this food and art festival in town last weekend, and they had this mobile "rock climbing" set up, which attracted a lot of kids. The good thing about a super zoom is that you can capture a wider view and then zoom into the individuals. You cannot tell sharpness from such a small JPEG, but on the 12MP FX D700, it is quite good. It is less sharp on the D300, though.</p>

<p>Nikon D700 with 28-300mm AF-S lens @ 50mm, f8, 1/500 sec and ISO 200.</p><div>00XI0t-280967684.jpg.dc84fa547f208fce30711eae605a4dc4.jpg</div>

<p><img src="../general-comments/comment-add-3.tcl" alt="" /> This is an image taken yesterday afternoon in my local park (Candiac). There are many signs of the coming Fall with the changing of some colors, hundreds of birds flexing their muscles for the long flight south, etc and you can begin to see some yellows coming out. I am looking forward to it including some day trips into the countryside.</p><div>00XI1X-280979584.jpg.cb1f649f357acbf3da69f1e6dd260f9a.jpg</div>

<p>Hello All,</p>

<p>I finally managed to put my D3 to "use" and take some low light shots at the Thames River Festival carnival procession on sunday night. Cranked the ISO all the way upto 3200 and got some interesting results. Some people were really kind and used their flash to throw some light whenever I needed it :)</p><div>00XI1o-280985684.jpg.692023847540e47b0a37deb04c1c7149.jpg</div>

<p>You folks make me abashed to post my own pics every week; but it gives me something to strive for. This is from my desk, my rock collection with a rosary lying amid the stones. I got a used D300 (OMG OMG) which auto focuses my AF-D lenses (OMG) and meters my lovely old manual focus lenses (double OMG). So this is the D300 with the famed Nikkor 28mm f/2.8 Ai-S; shot taken at my desk late last night at 1/8th of a second, f/2.8, ISO 400.</p><div>00XI1w-280991584.jpg.6493f92abe8ea55f994015792835c99b.jpg</div>

<p>I decided to try my hand at getting a few shots of my gal doing some dumbbell retrieve work during our Schutzhund obedience training. This meant having to race back to the camera after throwing the dumbbell in an attempt to try to catch her on her way back towards me - that in itself was an adventure!</p><div>00XI1z-280993584.jpg.3f71660349c859fa612c85e72a23a1f1.jpg</div>

<p>This is a bit of a departure for me. This image is of my father and I, when I was around 3 years old. Taken with a Nikon F FTn with the 50mm f2 lens. Out of focus because it was taken by my mother, who was not a photographer and probably just grabbed the camera (which was my fathers Nikon, and I now have it in my possession) when she saw me on my fathers lap. My father passed away a year ago last June and this last Monday would have been his 87th birthday. And I still have bad hair, it stayed with me since I was a child. We were on our annual two week vacation on Orcas Island, staying in a rented log cabin right on the beach. We still vacation there today, and it is the one place in the whole world where I can completely relax and unwind. <br /> <br /> <img src="http://hull534.smugmug.com/photos/633106093_y7in5-L.jpg" alt="" /></p>
