<p>Ups ! Sorry :</p><div></div>

<p>15 minutes until it's offically Wednaesday here, but oh well.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone..<br>

After a long weekend, it's finally wednesday again!!<br>

I was at the Notting Hill Carnival over the weekend, which is the second biggest after Rio. I was so trigger happy as I had not taken any pictures in a while and managed to get quite a lot of decent shots.<br>

This picture is from the procession on Monday.</p>

<div></div>

<p>Yoohoo, it's Wednesday! Happy Wednesday everybody!<br>

José, that bird is something pretty colourful! Nice!<br>

I've been working on a participation for a competition: is this still photography, I wonder? The originals were all taken with Nikon D700 and 105/2.8, and then assembled in PS, but I consider myself a beginner with composing still. I have decided to call it "the world through my eyes".</p>

<p>Monika, I am a PS novice myself, but I really like the photo and the message I feel it tells.</p>

<p>I used Photoshop on this image to correct a flaw. First person who can figure out what it was and what I did to fix it wins a... well, nothing really, but let's see if anyone can spot the telltale signs of my hack Photoshop effort (although they may be hard to spot in a tiny JPEG):</p>

<p>Wow guys, what a great start to WedNEsDAy!!<br>

<br /> My contribution here is of a familiar subject. Taken 3 weeks ago with D300, 1/400 sec, ISO 400, 105mm VR micro at f/14.</p>

<p>I've just received a 200mm f/4 AF micro, so hoping that will open up new vistas for me in the world of dragonflies.</p><div></div>

This is my 4th Wednesday pic and third (methinks last) flower. Gee, what are the chances? I'm not normally this boring, I hope,

but I think I must've shot 5000+ plant and plant parts this summer. It was a make-work project to coincide with an academic interest in botany.

<p>

Anyway -- a senescing lily of some sort. F6 + 75-150mm E AI-S + 3T, Kodak 160NC. (<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/manualcrank/3880078202/sizes/o/">bigger</a>)

<p>had an opportunity to shoot the big Outside Lands festival in SF over the weekend<br>

here's one of my faves, of hip-hop artist Q-Tip urging the crowd to respond<br>

<p>Hi everybody,<br /> From what is already posted it looks like the cream of the crop. Well, whike Spain was sweating I headed north to a small island where this photograph was taken.<br /> Breaking photographic rules, for this shot I used the Fuji S5 with Nikkor AF-D 85mm/f1.4 @f2.8, and it did an excellent job for landscapes (not soft at all). Straight from the camera, no extra sharping, dynamic range at 400%.<br /> Regards,<br /> MS<br>

PS: What perhaps seems to be dust are actually birds. Really stunning images so far...</p><div></div>

<p>Hello guys, it' Wednesday again. It looks like we getting better pictures every week. Thank you for the favorable comments last week. Here one for today, D300/18-70.<br>

<p>Sundown at the entrance to the San Francisco Bay</p>

<p>D700 w/ 80-200mm f/2.8 @ 200mm<br>

f/13 and 1/320s at ISO 1600 (yes, I know ISO could be lower but this was shot handheld and my hands shake like I'm having withdrawal so I need to keep shutter speed high)</p>

<p>For this weeks picture I thought I would post a picture I took on a camping trip about 3 weeks ago. The day began sunny and hot but in the evening it changed dramatically. This was taken about 1 hour before the storm hit and that lasted the whole night.<br /><br />Converted from a 14bit uncompressed RAW.<br>

D300 with 10-24 @ 10mm. 1/1000s, f3.5, ISO 200</p><div></div>

Happy WeDNesDay everybody.

Musician from a folk dance event sunday.<div></div>

<p>Once again a great start - I look forward to seeing the rest when I get back from holiday.</p>

<p>For my entry this week I saw this old public footpath leading between the hedgerows and it looked to me almost like something out of a fairy story - the twisted trunks leading to some mystery land.</p><div></div>

<p> Shun nice picture, I wonder if you can get picture of Kim Clusters, it is good to see her back too.</p>

<p>This week a simple portrait of my 'other half' taken relatively recently...</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Does anyone know what day is it????</strong></p>

<p>I don't know if to feel sorry or happy. I really enjoyed 2 weeks of natural beauty in Europe and I really didn't feel like bothering with camera equipment, tripod and all that comes with it. I just relaxed and enjoyed all the beauty presented in front of my ayes. I tried to capture as much as I could in the form of snap shots. </p>

<p>Here is one of <strong>Lake Lucerne taken at Weggis, Switzerland</strong>. Even though it's just a snap shot I still tried to get the best composition I could. I thought about walking to the age of the boardwalk but then I decided not to. Instead, I included it on the shot. Good decision or not?</p>

<p>Cheers! </p><div></div>

<p>Sorry, no images of Clijsters. I am not sure how many of you know that over a decade ago, I used to complie the FAQ for rec.sports.tennis. I was at two tournaments this year: Stanford and Los Angeles, but at that time (merely a month ago), Clijsters had not officially un-retired yet.</p>

<p>Clijsters now lives in central New Jersey, not far from where I used to live. Had I not moved back to California, I am sure that I would have been photographing at the US Open and shopping at B&H this week.</p>
