<p>Happy Wednesday, Nikon folk. A local farm has been purchased for housing development, but the recent lack of capital to finance construction has the whole place just sitting fallow. I've driven past one of the farm's fields - decorated with an abandoned hay rake - a hundred times, and finally decided it was worth a bit of semi-trespassing to spend the last few minutes of a recent soggy day to immortalize it. Has a long-whispering subject eventually nagged you enough to make you drop what you're doing, pick up your Nikon, and go shoot it? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>My image is a butterfly at the Dallas Arboretum. Nikon D80, ISO 400, f/5.6, 1/1600, 70-300mm lens.</p><div></div>

<p>Great shot Matt. That's a wild looking machine with the 10mm POV.<br /> <br /> Surf was high last month for the first time in a while at Rincon. The sun was nicely placed for a foreground shadow while this surfer rode the waves. There were quite a few out, but only a couple of really exciting riders. This is one of them, airborne in California.</p><div></div>

<p>Another visit to the Leo Mol Sculpture garden.</p><div></div>

<p>I’ve been away from our Wednesday thing for a few weeks and just caught up. Amazing work everyone, inspirational. I came upon an Anti Cap & Trade rally, downtown NYC, got in very close and shot with a super-wide lens while the flag was hitting my face. Nikon D300 & Tokina 11-16 f2.8.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Tuesday from Seattle. The first week in October...the best month...the best holiday coming up! I met "Chuck" at a horror con a few months ago. We were mutual fans, so we decided to shoot together. This session was a blast! We will work together again...soon I hope!</p><div></div>

<p>Very creative Matt ... and very Freddy Krueger-ishhh.</p>

<p>Hey everyone, here is mine for the week, Have a great one everyone!</p><div></div>

<p>Well, whispering it exactly aint, more of a roar actually. Did some photos on the approach at Heathrow in August while in London, and this is the Virgin Atalantic A340 touching down into the setting sun, which was giving a lovely golden glow to everything.<br>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

thank you very much for the comments on my photo last week.<br>

This week a portrait of my friend Jacqueline and myself (Jacqueline is the tall one). Jacqueline is a script writer and has currently 3 films in production and one filming, she is writing one for Hollywood right now and needed to create a poster for it, we had a photography session with the models last week and after the session we just took few photos of us two in the studio. This is one of them. <br>

Taken with Nikon D700, 24-70mm f/2.8@ISO 200, 1/200s, f/8. <br>

Have a lovely week. <br>

<p>Miho age 18. I was 22 when I took this photo in 1991. I met her when she was 13 and I was 17. The golf course we were playing on together that day was sold and turned in to a plat of houses. Today Miho is married and living in Japan with her Japanese husband, who she met in school, and has two beautiful children. We have kept in touch and she's just as beautiful now as she was when this photo was taken.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all: I admire all of your work. And we're gonna have two in a row with the 50/1.8 Ai-S. Might as well Wednesday up before bed. This taken out the window of a cab the other day.<br>

Nikon D300 50mm f/1.8 Ai-S at f1.8 1/3200 ISO 640.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi everyone, this weeks picture is of my 84 year old father taking in the view from his hill-top property. The tree stump in front of him was a large tree obstructing the view three weeks ago, when he removed it himself, without any help. I hope this picture captures something of his determination (stubbornness?).<br>

There are already some terrific pictures this Wednesday.<br>

All the best, Alan</p><div></div>
