<p>A good Wednesday to you, Nikonistas. As I post this at midnight, it's the winter solstice here in the northern hemisphere. Longest night of the year, and a chance to reflect on our planet's tilted axis and all of the variety to which that gives rise in our climate, flora, fauna, and photographic opportunities. The scene below is a peek through the woods, shot less than an hour ago. Low clouds on this long night are glowing with the light of Washington DC, just a dozen or two miles away. We now light our way through every night, but I can see why this annual seasonal turning point has been ritually noted for thousands of years. What are you and your Nikon gear doing with the short daylight? Share a photo!</p><div>00XtcJ-313571584.jpg.b38020934d876059da2b7713d99064e8.jpg</div>

<p><strong>Greetings Nikon Friends</strong>...Today is the first day of winter and it was 84-degrees where I live (Dallas, Texas). My image this week is <strong>TREE SANTA</strong> and was taken a couple of days ago in my neighborhood. One PN wag suggested I should use this for my bio picture. LOL. Wishing everyone a <strong>MERRY CHRISTMAS.</strong></p><div>00XtcM-313575584.jpg.5c88d40b4a0f8bfd4b5f075631f724fe.jpg</div>

My final sports photo for 2010 is a twin pack. Two wickets off the last two balls of the innings ... the bowler will have to wait until next year to attempt the "hat-trick" (three wickets in three balls). Two months to think about the next delivery!</p>

<p>Camera: Nikon D300<br>

Lens: AF-S VR II Zoom-Nikkor 70-200 mm f/2.8G IF-ED + TC-20E III<br>

Settings: 400 mm, 1/500 sec, f/5.6 and ISO 720 (AP, monopod, UV filter)</p><div>00XtcP-313577584.jpg.419bea186ee5daf89361b307412ecb45.jpg</div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone!<br>

Thank you to Rick and Jeff for you kind words!<br>

I was drawn to the shutters on the half-wall between the restaurant and the bar area. We were later told that they came from the original home that sat on this location. Their colors and textures were wonderful. <br>

Have a wonderful Holiday Week.</p><div>00XtcR-313577684.jpg.e778244350dc6625fbb690dbd5f20952.jpg</div>

<p>Happy Holidays to all! I live about 550 miles south of Bill Boyd in the lower tip of Texas, and you would never know it's December here. (87F/35.5C today) Without colder temps, the bugs are still around, including the pesky mosquitoes. D90/Sigma 150mm/Sigma 1.4 teleconverter@ 1/250, f/11, ISO 640. I hope everyone has a great holiday! Looking forward to seeing everyone's photos. :)</p>

<p>Matt, thanks. I enjoy seeing your dog photos here. And the hour a day when I take my golden retriever and my camera for a walk in the local forest -- yes, I live a two minute drive away from a real forest where dogs can be off leash -- is the best hour of my day.</p>

<p>Hello everyone. <br>

Last night I woke up around 1:30 AM ( ET ) to prepare myself for this shot. I could not resist it and I could not miss it. It was very cold outside ( around 45 ) and around 2:30, 11 minutes before the Eclipse, I went outside and I took this shot. Did what I could but of course this lens is not the best for this kind of shots, nevertheless, I did capture a great moment, something that will not occur again till 2029 ( Eclipse during winter time according to Nasa ). </p>

<p>Merry Christmas to all of you !!<br>

Maurice.</p><div>00XtdP-313607684.jpg.d6c07450be58f73ea95c70afbc847de5.jpg</div>
