We were out a few days back on a solidly overcast grey morning, with incoming weather getting ready to strip away all of the tree blossoms. It seemed a good last chance to look up the long drive of Montevideo Farm, with the big house's front door just visible down the way. Used your Nikon gear to capture something fleeting?

gej_jones Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 <p>St. Louis Cathedral<br> The St. Louis Cathedral overlooks Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans, LA. The Cathedral-Basilica of St. Louis King of France is the oldest Catholic cathedral in continual use in the United States. The first church on the site was built in 1718; the third, built in 1789, was raised to cathedral rank in 1793. The cathedral was expanded and largely rebuilt in 1850, with little of the 1789 structure remaining. (Wikipedia)</p> <p>I shot this about forty-five minutes after sunset.</p> <p>As you can see, the horse-drawn carriages line up in front of the entrance well into the night. The red on the horses comes from the 'tail lights' of the carriages. Timing was everything. All sorts of traffic including cars, buses, taxies, fire engines, skateboarders, bicycles and police cars were controlled by two traffic lights. It was fun! Get there early to get a good vantage point.</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric_arnold Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 <p>nice one, gej.</p> <p>my contribution this week is from a photo doc project of a mural. it's a fairly huge wall covering almost two whole city blocks, and it was painted by my friends the Community Rejuvenation Project as part of an effort by the city of Oakland to reduce urban blight. apparently they've realized it's cheaper to have a muralist paint a wall than continually buff off the scrawls of taggers. the wall was infused with sacred shaman mojo recognizing the indigenous cultural heritage of chicano/latinos, which is probably one reason it took so long--4-5 months--to complete. i'm very proud of CRP for finally getting it done, and it should make a (subliminal) difference in that community, which suffers from various inner-city ailments.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photojen Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 <p>Mr. B, Mr. B...Baxter is my 'shadow' cat, he follows us around like a dog where ever we go outside...on walks down the road, through the woods on hikes, down the driveway to the bus (the kids love to see him in the morning and afternoon, especially when he is being silly. It's great to see them laughing through the windows), and even manages to make his way into my photos. I don't mind, he's my buddy :) Happy Wednesday to all.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thadley Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 <p><img src="../photo/13007500" alt="" />My image is the start of my education in night shots. Taken in the same park in the residence where I live. This is Candiac - a small residential town located to the south of Montreal, direction Platsburg NY. It borders the mighty St.lawrence river which, because of it's size looks like the ocean. In the dead of night and a weird looking orange cloud in conditions where I could not see the camera controls, strong winds produced the type of clouds you see in the image due to the long exposure.<br> Matt - terrific Spring shot - we are not even close to that<br> Gej - great night shot.<br> John DiLeo - great quality for that ISO - thanks for sharing<br> Shun - Great shot and expression - Decisions, Decisions.<br> Lorne, Bill, Tom Anura, Rich, - great animal and bird images - not an area of expertise for me so your camera settings give me some good info.<br> My participation here at PN may be limited to this forum until the end of May - Really love the variety and quality of images submitted here.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klum Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 <p>Had a brief encounter with fate on monday. Not the life determining fate but the day to day fate we encounter all the time. An idea to hike Okanagan Mountain to Divide Lake was detoured by the ominous rain clouds quickly moving in from the North only to come home to a flat tired road bike which was a punch in the nose to my alternative scheme. The early evening overcast inspired me to take my trusty mountain bike up to the waterfall at Creek Park and try for some long exposures. What fun! Not too long after reaching the falls, rain started to pour from those clouds and the ride home was a soggy thrill.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abib_b Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 <p>These are marabou storks at the same fish market as last week's photo. The birds are pretty brazen and walk up to within feet of the boats and the shore. There must have been thirty or so of them at the market. They are loitering around for scraps from the fishermen, particularly from some of those that clean their fish by the water. They are about 1m tall and particularly ugly.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jose_angel Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 <p>Hi all, this is one of the pics I took on last weekend... I loved that hazy atmosphere at the end of the beach, in one of the very few moments where the sun shined saturating the colors.</p> <p><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5mKhTNFI-Zw/TbdJPq8-cRI/AAAAAAAAADk/R3V_FXUKxQs/s1600/nwp172011.jpg" alt="" width="699" height="408" /></p> <p>D700 @ 200ISO, 24-120/4 (120mm), 1/500sec. - f8; as usual I forgot to switch off the VR after attaching the camera to the tripod. The pics are plenty sharp, anyway.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
