<p>Hi, we`re having an inusual, <em>extremely</em> hot weather! I took this pic during a visit to a friend`s appartment; this small pool is all surrounded by high buildings, very close between them with thousands of windows facing the pool... curious.<br>

<br /> D700 @ 1600ISO, 14bit RAW, 50AFS (1/250 - f8). Once again I wish I had a wider lens, but I`m not willing to sacrifice the speed of the 50... It is the whole frame processed in Aperture.<br /><br /> Please post your Nikon weekly pic if you like. <em>Thank you all!</em></p><div>00TsOP-152371584.thumb.jpg.ec93f8364bbc3739690b048dc75cf928.jpg</div>

<p>Tricky shot. I was trying to capture the frantic energy of my friend's border collie, Topaz, who's also an ace in agility trials. During this session, Friday 7/3/09, I was alternating between grilling pork roast and trying to capture Topaz in a mid-air leap for her favorite toy, a soggy tennis ball. Took several tries, tossing the ball high and short with my left hand while shooting the D2H and SB-800 with my right. That's a heavy rig for one-handed shooting and I'm not very steady. Between the camera shakes and heavy tree cover I relied on TTL flash at 1/250th, auto-everything mode and the blistering quick AF of the D2H to snag around 20 decent shots out of almost 200.</p><div>00TsOS-152373684.jpg.efb51bc72d9af55f509513d015b5b2d5.jpg</div>

<p>Good evening everyone!<br>

Let's see how productive this past week was! I am happy! My shot is from last Thursday! As some of the members here already know I was called to shoot a band in a club.<br>

Let me say it again, I was called to shoot a band... Sorry, I just like the way it sounds :)<br>

It was the first time for me. I had a really good time. I felt almost like a pro! And the payment was better than money, a lot of beer and food and entertainment for two days!<br>

Before leaving home I asked for some advice on how to set up my camera and what lenses to use. As usually, I got help within in a few minutes from P/N members. (Sorry Eric, you were a bit too late but I saved your suggestion to use in a later time). If anyone is interested, you can find really good tips here:<br>

I converted this shot to B&W on P/S. I was thinking to clone out the light but... Uhmmm! I kinda like it with the light showing there. Also I had to recover a few h/l from the face of the singer, I hope I did a good job!<br>

Well, I have a feeling this will be another great thread! Cheers!</p><div>00TsOV-152373784.jpg.040c9f5f5ffdc355cb0ba8856e836462.jpg</div>

<p>Yohoo, it's Wednesday!<br>

José, that shot is really cool! I like the contrast between cold and warm, and it looks almost surreal! Lex, what a moment! And Ton, that cat looks like it's just a tad bit suspicious of you... :-) Gary: great catch! And Rene, your play with shadows is just it!<br>

<p>Moonrise over Alamo Park in San Francisco. Saw this on my walk home last week. Caught me by suprise without a tripod so I braced myself and hoped for the best. I love the effect of the underexposed hilll in the foreground, eliminating space and making it look as though the lamp and moon exist in the same plane. Happy Wednesday everyone!!!</p><div>00TsOe-152379584.jpg.8ac8f7d0404c25b71a347fbe035838e4.jpg</div>

<p>My past week has been a series of windy and rainy days punctuated by carting the camera & tri-pod out to the decking and back in again as the sun shines briefly and then returns to it's wintery foulest.</p>

<p>My new Nikon TC 1.4 EII arrived last week so it went through it's paces on the 500mm P - pointed at some hardy feathered souls who exist in these winter months in the garden here with minimal food sources on hand..........</p>

<p>This is a 50% crop of the original frame with some post shoot exposure level alterations and light sharpening.</p>

<p>ps. Lil Judd - I know I'm still centering my subjects....... tut, tut.......... <strong>;-)</strong></p><div>00TsOo-152383584.jpg.eeb61f76a5ed86dea99dcdf66ab322e4.jpg</div>

<p>Hello all, good morning<br>

Taken several weeks ago, during one of the most fantastic sunsets I've ever seen. Apart from this one, I shot a composite of 11 pictures to register the complete scenery, wich was amazing. You can see it <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2517/3674388075_31b081a2fd_o.jpg">here</a>.<br>

D40, 18-55 kit lens @ 18mm, f/11 and 1/10s handheld, ISO200. Post processing done in LR2 to recover the highlights.<br>

<p>It's been extremely hot here too Jose. Beautiful shots so far everyone! I took this yesterday at an indoor swimming pool. It's the reflexion of the light coming in from a crescent shaped window on the water. When I saw the result, it reminded me of a ghostly headless swimmer. (Nikon D40 with Nikkor 35mm f:1.8. ISO 200 f/4.5 Aperture priority, non-manipulated)<br>

<p>Not only are the Wednesday pics very pleasureable to view, but they also serve to inspire me to take on new projects and see things a little differently. Thank you to all that submit them.<br>

For today's photo I have a late evening shot of a lion - taken on Friday just before the sun went down. He was taking in the last of the evening warmth and looked very beguiling.</p>

<p>I used my F80, 70-200mm VR and Fuji Superia 400. I really could have done with a roll of 800 as well because as it got dark there was still plenty going on.</p><div>00TsPR-152395584.JPG.d9929fcc7a1f212a89877877afe1f6fe.JPG</div>

<p>We have also had hot weather lately and on Sunday it was too hot to do anything sensible. So after sitting in the yard for half an hour, soaking up the sun I began to notice the bees. It suddenly struck me that the most sensible thing I could do that day was to try and catch one in mid-flight. I soon discovered that they move from flower to flower much faster than I had anticipated and ended up with over 20 frames of the bee's rear end just visible in the upper left corner :-) After persisting I finally got an image I could crop.<br>

D300, 70-300VR & SB-900. 1/3200s, f6.3, ISO 800.</p><div>00TsPj-152399584.jpg.14babee7cab447e1796c0d8f11ce357d.jpg</div>
