A special nod to the people in Japan and especially in the hard-hit city of Sendai, where 1,100 <em>actual</em> Nikon folk work in Nikon's facility there. Best of luck to them, with the long hard work they and so many others in their country have ahead. There are some good threads here in the Nikon forum, with on-the-spot commentary from some long time members (hello, Rene!) - I know we'll all be thinking about them and doing what we can.<br /><br />I was watching the coverage of the search and rescue teams digging through the wreckage there, and it got me back to post-processing some stuff I shot at a training event, where K-9 handlers of all kinds were working with their dogs around emergency conditions. Here's to all of the emergency responders who train to help us out when things go badly wrong. Had a chance to photograph those who put it on the line? Share a photo!</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 <p>Sorry for no posts in about a year. I've not done much photography over last year. What was a fun hobby turned into stress & pressure to preform. It turned into running into some people on the net I don't like. Then my husband lost his great job. He's been out of work since. So - my life has much changed & I'm only doing things which do not add stress to my life.<br /> <br /> Went out shooting for a few hours Sunday & got one shot I'm willing to share. I'm rusty shooting handheld, never my forte anyhow, I've forgotten how to pp a shot.... So this is it.<br /> <br /> D300, 300mm f/4, 1.4 TC, full frame - - no crop here - - at an effective 420mm, f/8, 1/320 s. at ISO 800, with a little help from a tree trunk as hide/blind - I here present....<br /> <br /> My first ever Nuthatch.... YES!!!! A white-breasted Nuthatch male<img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/s3/v23/p985221486-4.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeannean_. Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 <p>My thoughts and prayers are with the Japanese people as well. No photos of that sort Matt, so will post one that says to me Spring is here. Spring is about renewal/rebirth, and even though it will be a while for certain areas of Japan to recover/renew, I'm sure they will. D90/70-300mm VR @ 1/350, f/8, ISO 250.</p> <p><img src="http://jeannean.zenfolio.com/img/s10/v17/p80306347-5.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photojen Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 <p>Happy early Saint Patrick's Day to you all. My daughter and my son have been 'helping' their Poppa (my father) and my uncle for 2 months with the total construction of the Springfield (MA) St. Patrick's Day Colleen float for the Holyoke (MA) St. Patrick's Day Parade. It's kind of a big deal for us Irish folk here in Western MA. I am so proud of my dad and uncle and can't wait for the Colleens to get on and wave their way through the parade this weekend. My kids have been a big help too...getting the tools and so forth, so they feel proud as well. My mother has stealthly preening my daughter for future Colleen pageants, we went to the Colleen Ball two weeks ago, and it is my mother's goal to have Eleanor be a future contender. So, in the spirit of St. Patrick's Day, here's my El and her shamrock she painted on her face...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 <p>Good to see you again, Lil, and hope that some quality time behind the lens will counteract at least part of that stress. Photography can and should be good for the wa. Hey, nice Nuthatch!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_howd Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 <p><strong>Two Bald Eagles in one image</strong> offer distinct view of eagles in flight. In the center of the image a frontal view of the eagle shows a beautiful symmetry from the flexed wingtips and opened wing position to the fanned spread of the tail feathers. The eagle in the upper right corner offers a side view of an eagle in flight with wings in a raised position and a profile of the head and beak. A February image from Iowa...

tsypkin Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 <p>Good Wednesday, everyone! <br> Living just a short hop from the San Andreas fault here in California makes one empathize even more with the people of Japan. <br> Lil, you were missed and it's good to have you back -- one thing I've learned with age is that bad things are quite unavoidable, but we somehow manage to get through, although with a lot of wear and tear.<br> I took a snapshot of my golden retriever with a four-month old Samoyed puppy a couple of days ago.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apurva Madia Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 <p>Good morning everyone! Japan is in turmoil and there is incalculable loss and human suffering there. On photography front, both Nikon and Canon factories are shut down indefinitely. We the photography community should keep up our photography and make however small purchases if we can to show solidarity to our favourite brands.<br> Submitting a picture takes 2 weeks ago in Ahmedabad.<br> <strong>Nikon D90, 18-200 VR</strong></p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankuthel Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 <p>Hello everyone..<br> I was in Venice last week for the Venetian Carnival. It was quite an experience! This photo was taken in the early hours one morning. I was quite pleased with the results as I have limited experience using my flash on camera.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
