As a result, some images are over on the other thread.

<p>Hi all, I actually missed to have a 70-200VR for this time, there were many photographic opportunities so far in distance to my 50AFS... actually I was near the back of the horse but for most shots I have to crop important areas. I wanted to catch <em>very close</em> images. This spanish<em> torero</em> was dressing his horse for a bullfight, I`m not very fond of it but I must recognize that is an <em> extremely interesting</em> tradition.</p>

<p>D700 @ 400ISO + 50AFS, 14bit RAW, f4 - 1/1000sec., all camera tricks off.<br /> Please post your favourite pic if you like, as usual. Thank you all.</p>

<p >A shot of a deer..... Uhmmm! That doesn't sound like something new, does it? Well, the thing is I used My Tokina 11-16, no the lens you would expect, right?</p>

<p >I hope you guys like it..... Cheers!</p>

<p>Hi all, it Wednesday again!!<br />This week, I have been really busy with different projects, and not much time to go out shooting, therefore, this week, a shot of my daughter, taken at a dance competition last weekend, in which she came 2nd. I'm soooo proud!<br />Taken with a D300 and it is one of the very first shots with my new Sigma 50-150 2.8. A perfect lens for shooting ringside with a DX camera, where the focal length of 70-200 on a DX can be a little too long.<br />Looking forward to seeing many great shots this week!</p>

<p>Ah, here we go! Wednesday again, what a pleasure! José, what an observation! And Joseph: bicolor serene! Alejandro: cool!</p>

<p>It's not yet Friday, but you might already be taking your Friday bag ;-) :<br /> <img src="http://www.abload.de/img/550099218__fridaytf61.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <em><strong>Nikon D700, ISO 800, 24-85/2.8-4 at f5.6, on the fly.</strong> </em></p>

<p>Attended a conference at Disney World last week. Got up before sunrise one morning to shoot some of the neon at their Marketplace before the crowds showed up. Learned they actually turn off all those lights during the night.</p>

<p>And of course, ran into a security guard. He actually asked me what I was doing. Let's see, I had a camera..... and a tripod. Hmmm, what was I doing? After a little discussion, he got cool and just told me to stay out of the way of the early morning workers.</p>

<p>With the neon gone, had to wait for the sun to come up.... </p>

<p>Every single week the standard set by the early images rises another notch. I'm going to do my usual trick of posting and then only commenting tomorrow morning when I wake up, but I am SO looking forward to seeing everyone's work already!</p>

<p>My post is a bit different from usual - the result of a recent photography workshop where we were asked to create interesting stuff from the banal. So in keeping with that idea, here is a night-time / long exposure image from a series taken in the ugly old laneway behind my house! I don't know why but I'm quite pleased with the result.</p><div>00Tc80-142693584.jpg.5f12ad801554b93ef33ac5b78359a0db.jpg</div>

<p>Nina Meyers - that's a great moody empty street scene - fabulous illumination and depth!</p>

<p>I'm again reminicing over recently taken holiday snaps from New Zealand. This one is atop Te Mata Peak, just outside of Hastings on the North Island. The north eastern slopes there are so steep the hang-gliders use it as a reliable take off point. The drafts blow in off the ocean and up the neer sheer cliffs. The views are spectacular but I'm happy to keep my feet earth bound and enjoy views from slightly less altitude.......</p><div>00Tc86-142693884.jpg.6d35cb76f382de607b3b5f3e6d44b228.jpg</div>

<p>Well look at this thread already hopping -<br>

Jose, I'm not much for bull fighting in any form, but I've braided many manes of horses & it takes time, concentration & precision. Your shot shows just that.<br>

Joseph - like your boats. I will not ever post any boats here for all the boats that's posted in these threads. But they are nice to see.<br>

Rene' - got to love this shot & you're lucky mom didn't decide to hurt you for being so close to her fawn.<br>

Alejandro - got to love that shot.<br>

Hamish - neat shot. :)<br>

Ton - another excellent shot.<br>

Matthew - you make me want to go down south to Australia & New Zealand with every shot you post. Now to talk the husband into it. :-) Anyhow - another beautiful landscape.<br>

As always I'm having issues deciding which to post. This is not the one my daughter thought I should post - but the one I decided to.<br>

These are a Least Tern family. The chicks are only days old. There are three of them, all the size of a cotton ball. Not easy focusing, especially since through a fence. The stick with the number is because they count & protect these little guys while nesting. So each female gets a number in front & behind her nest on the ground. There's no way to photograph these without the numbers. And though I could clone the stick (ice cream stick) out, why bother..... The parents take turns going fishing & while gone the other parent protects the three chicks. Here the one parent comes back with a small fish to feed one of the chicks.<br>

Shot with the D300, Sigmonster 300-800mm f/5.6 in Manual Mode at f/8 1/1600s EXIFs embedded as always - I think I'm going to call this one "Handing over Dinner" or "The Handover"... <i>(resized and uploaded later)</i><br>

<p>Lovely work as always.</p>

<p>For my submission I took this photo of two cheerful dancing girls at an open garden. The band was playing traditional tunes and the whole atmosphere was pleasant. I used my EM with the 50mm E. Film was Fuji 200.</p><div>00Tc8P-142699584.JPG.51ec0327c582e1051f07a3824af68954.JPG</div>

<p>It's WedNEsDAy again :o)<br /> This picture is from last month when I received my 35mm f1.8G lens (still diffifcult to fine one in the market). My wife's birthday was in the second week of May and I gave her this "Crazy Daisy" bouquet, she loves the different colors of Daisy and next week I received my new lens.</p>
