Even if the light <em>is</em> a bit harsh. This blind, geriatric, three-legged Miniature Pinscher is still able to make his way in the world by virtue of his devoted caveman bodyguard.

jeannean_. Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p>Great shot Matt. :) My shot this week was inspired by Roberta. She showed me a cicada wing she shot after it had flown it's last flight. I've been on the lookout and found one at the dog park the other day. I was amazed how it looked like gold metal up close. I loved Roberta's brilliant idea and just had to try and do one too. Thanks Roberta! Shot with Nikon D90/Sigma 150mm/Sigma 1.4x teleconverter @ 1/250, f/8, Auto ISO 900.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://jeannean.zenfolio.com/img/s10/v18/p877776453-4.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="465" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Boyd Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p>Hello All...Something different from me this week. Last weekend I went to a Greek Food Festival and had the opportunity to shoot inside the Greek Orthodox Church in Dallas, Texas. This week's image is a mural on the upper wall of the church</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thadley Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p><img src="../photo/11709890" alt="" />It has rained incessantly for the last two days so i decided to do a little project at home. Took some pebbles I collected over many hikes, put them in a Tupperware dish, added water and put it in the freezer. When it froze I added one more pebble with a heart shape. I used a d300 mated to a Tamron 90 macro at f25 and shot it using window light.<br> http://www.photo.net/photo/11709890<br> All the best and I hope it is not so rainy later today (Wed.)</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p>From a recent trip to Kauai: At the end of Waikoko Forest Management Road, which is the unpaved extension of Kuamo'o Road, Wailua River exits the crater of Mt. Waiʻaleʻale (the summit of which is the wettest spot on earth with 460 inches of rainfall annually). On most days, Mount Waiʻaleʻale is concealed in clouds, especially at the summit. Along the road, you pass the spot were the Jurassic Park Gate had been build.<br /> <br /> The trail to "Blue Hole" at the base of the crater wall starts here - but try as we might, we could not discern a trail much beyond this spot.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascal64 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p>Jeannean...absolutely amazing.</p> <p>Great work from everyone already...and happy Tuesday from Seattle.</p> <p>As if we didn't have enough going on in our lives, we have taken on a new family member. This is "Graffiti", our daughter's new Border Collie pup. Next to her is Luna, our senior Aussie. Their expressions kind of sum up the relationship.</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senthil1 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p>Another one from my wildlife series -<br> <br />This lioness had just finished sharing a meal with her pride mates. Others had moved on, but she hung around with her cubs. This wildebeest was injured and tried to hide in a big bush. Lioness didn't spot her until the gnu lifted its head up after a few min to see where the lioness was.... As they say - Curiosity kills the cat... well, here curiosity killed the wildebeest.<br> Nikon D300, 200-400 f/4 at 400mm, ISO 400, f6.3, 1/2000 sec.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_fedon Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p>Still at the zoo today and taking the low light shots inside. This is a Tamarin monkey, tiny little things about the size of you palm. It was dark, and I could only get him when he flitted in and out of the overhead light.<br> <img src="http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr327/eurocypria/DSC_0261.jpg" alt="" /><br> D700, iso6400, 270mm on the sigma 70-300, 1/200, f/9</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marklcooper Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p>I had a different picture all lined up for today until I saw Matt's post. This is not an odd couple, but it is a photo of our 3 legged Australian Cattle Dog Jaz taken earlier this year while on a walk in one of our woods. Very thick leaf canopy so it was a little dark. I was balancing depth of field with shutter speed resulting in not the sharpest picture in my album. After the fact I realized I should have upped the ISO.</p> <p>Jaz is a registered AKC Australian Cattle Dog CH Teddee's Gem Jasmine Jade, HSAsd, STDs, JHD, VQW, CD, RN, CGC, and ROM. She is currently ranked 17 out of the 59 dogs<br /> listed in the Australian Cattle Dog Club of America's Registry of Merit.</p> <p>She had her leg amputated February 2009 because of a cancerous tumor and can no longer compete in AKC events. She can compete in UKC events. She recently brought us a fresh wild rabbit.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikealps Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 <p>I've been enjoying "event photography" lately, taking pictures of people at events... a 50th birthday party and a bicycle vacation. Here is one that illustrates the challenge event/wedding photographers face. This is the last night of a bicycle vacation in Corsica (mediterranean island belonging to France) that illustrates these challenges. People will gather for the photo but have limited attention span. Others will show up late and want in, but by the time they get there, everybody else has lost their interest. Evening light is good, but changing.</p> <p>So, anyway, here is what I got, and I am happy with it, and thankful for the lessons...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
