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></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Boyd Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <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></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lornesunley Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <p>This is a shot I took for one of the departments at work. The Distribution people wanted a XMAS card picture. I used 5 Nikon speed lights for the shot controlled through an SU-800 on camera. CLS rocks.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gej_jones Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <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></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeannean_. Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <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><img src="http://jeannean.zenfolio.com/img/s3/v25/p1032691562-4.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsypkin Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchell_freedman Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <p>Nothing to do with short daylight, but my habit of cleaning my glasses by wearing them into the shower led to this shot a couple weeks ago. D90 and 85mm 1.4 - 1/125 @ f/6.7 SB600 bounced off high ceiling. Minor edits and major crop in LR3.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert_wayt Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <p>OK, everyone, I've been saving this one for this week. You may already have one like it (or better) in your library. Regardless, in the spirit of the season, happy holidays to you.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikealps Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <p>Sake vessels (used for brewing) at Hie Jinja (Jinja = shrine) in Akasaka, Tokyo last week.<br> It was hard to pick just one photo. Japan is so beautiful and I also got to see the famous garden behind the New Otani hotel.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcama60 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 <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></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
