<p>Hi all. Don`t know what to say... I was planning to post a pic with somekind of trick to show that we can post lighter images (smaller filesizes) in order to make the thread downloading faster, but I will leave it for the next week. I need a representative one. The pic I`m posting is 56Kb (not representative as it doesn`t need to be bigger given its characteristics).</p>

<p>My contri today is for those of you who like to see my fashion, here it is a "see-nothing classic reflection photographer self-portrait". Check that I also belong to the "chinese policeman look" group, commented in a previous post. No gold solid Rolex or smoking, I`m afraid... ;) Seriously speaking, I took this photo while walking in front of a hairdressing salon. No Photoshopping or double images. Processed in NX2 and framed in Ps.</p>

<p>Taken with a D700 @ 1600ISO, 50AFS (1/15sec. - f5.6), matrix metering with exposure compensation -0.7EV, all camera tricks off.</p>

<p>Please post your favourite pic taken with Nikon gear, as usual... the thread is alive! <em>Thank you all.</em></p><div>00UgIN-178555584.jpg.d4c9aef00ab5d2c54724bf3eb9753c2f.jpg</div>

<p >My photo this week was taken on Sunday. As I mentioned last week, winter has come to my corner of the globe and continues to pound the already weather-beaten landscape. Saturday night was no exception. We were out camping in a nearby forest and from the comfort of our tent we listened to the wind howling through the trees all night. And with the howling in mind, this picture is for me reminiscent of mother-nature baring her teeth.</p>

<p >With regard to the comments last week, thank you to all who took the time. I didn’t get a chance to reply before the thread was closed. </p>

<p>Oh wow, Wednesday again! Happy Wednesday alas: a highly reduced Italian souvenir of the most lovely card playing space in town - a normal version is in my portfolio, but that would be 500 kB ;) <br /> <br /> <img src="http://www.abload.de/img/666959303_cardsrzt0.jpg" alt="" /> <br /> <strong>D700, 24-85 2.8-4, ISO 1200, 1/125 sec</strong></p>

<p ><strong>Lets go Wide </strong><strong></strong></p>

<p > </p>

<p >Each week in the Wednesday thread, there’s always very creative use of perspective. I wanted to draw inspiration from this and decided that using an extreme wide angle would help get me there. I took the 17-35 out on the full frame D700 and went to the NY Botanical Gardens on Sunday. I was planning to try a close-up of something floral with an exaggerated background. </p>

<p >Only I can go to the Botanical Gardens and come back with a picture of a building. The Haupt Conservatory is a beautiful art deco green house on the grounds. Here’s the main entrance.</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday everybody!</p>

<p>I could not resist it, but since Joseph, Lil and others wanted to see more of the castle I have given you some photos of the latest few weeks, here it is, in all its glory. The famous castle spook, "The White Lady", was not present when the photo was taken ;)</p>

<p>The city of Halden, Norway well protected at the bottom of the hill.</p><div>00UgIo-178561684.jpg.8afbd00704734dab95db379544d8de65.jpg</div>

<p>Hello, for this </p>

<h2>Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC #41</h2>

<p>It's early October and time to press the grape mulch for the wine. The mulch in the press is a blend of ruby cab and cab sauvignon. This is a picture of a grape press I took this past Sunday. It was shot with a 35 f1.4 AiS attached to a D300 iso 200. It is available light and handheld.</p><div>00UgIq-178561884.jpg.1e727d63f22568a2385c2783bdca482f.jpg</div>

<p>Good morning everyone! I'm still enjoying the beauty of Prague. </p>

<p>This shot was taken at Charles Bridge. Is the oldest preserved Prague bridge that still serves its original purposes. It was finished in 1402. This is one of the watch towers (Malostranska Bridge Tower). We were walking away from it but when I looked back I really loved the reflection on the brick road and even though the shot looks a bit busy with the main tower, a smaller tower on the left and a cathedral on the back I thought it was a nice composition. this is one of many shots I took but my friend really likes this one.<br>

I hope it meets the standards! Cheers!</p>

<p >Well, its time for a new pic with Nikon gear. I took this one two days ago with my new D700. As you can see, the ashtray seems at first the subject of the picture. However it isn’t. The main subject is the three women in the background, but they are defocused. Is this a fault of the D700’s focusing system? Absolutely no! This is a compositional trick that I love to use: Let the main subject defocused and focus the camera in a secondary element (maybe my best known photo using this technique is this one: http://www.photo.net/photo/9243480&size=lg where the main subject is the couple in the background)</p>

<p > </p>

<p >About technical details, it has been taken with a Nikkor 24mm f/2.8 AF-D at f/2.8. Not sure about ISO, maybe 800 or 1250. Processed in Lightroom.</p>

<p>well, great start already<br>

my pic was taken last friday at the den, a bar at the fox theater in oakland, which was recently remodeled. to me it recalled the classic nostalgia of harlem circa the cotton club, even more so with the sepia tone i converted it to. other than that, straight from the camera.</p><div>00UgJC-178567684.jpg.b629b73942ca346f1edadfa29039f98a.jpg</div>

<p>Nathan Triathlon in Tempe, Arizona - [Olympic distance] Swim 0.94mi - Bike 24.64mi - Run 6.2mi - or - [sprint distance] Swim 0.47mi - Bike 12.32mi - Run 3.1mi<br>

105mm f/2.8 AF-S is not the best focal length to use, longer would be nice, but if that's all you have, it has to do, and while it can miss some shots like coming out of the shadows racers, there are times when it does quite well<img src="http://www.robertbody.com/people09/images/2009-09-27-nathan-tri-cycle-114470.jpg" alt="" width="750" height="500" /></p>

<p>Hooray, wednesday again, and the filesizes this week are exceptional! ;-)Mine is also small, around 62kB. <br>

After a bit rainy day, the sun peaked through some clouds in the early evening. In an attempts to catch the sunrays more prominently, I tried spot metering, which turned out a bad idea... but somehow the result has got something. I think.</p>
