<p>Hi all, thank you for your comments and participation in last week thread.</p>

<p>My contri today belong to a portfolio I made for a contest promoted by a well know car manufacturer. I was adviced to participate during an event, and decided to do so using my head, looking for the prize but... when I had the pics, while reading the contest` small print I felt so dissapointed. The prize is so stingy, and the "disclaimer" section too long... finally I have decided not to participate. I don`t want to give them a lot of big sized publishable photos, models, logos, etc. for almost free.</p>

<p>The one below is a ruled out pic. Think that it belong to a portfolio related to reafforestation.<br /> D700 @ 200ISO, 14bit RAW, 24-70AFS (52mm), 1/4000 - f2.8. Processed in NX2.</p>

<p>Please feel free to post your pic if you like, taken with Nikon gear. <em>Thanks!</em></p><div></div>

<p>Happy WeDNeSDaY!<br>

Thank you for those nice comments on my image last week!<br>

<p>It's getting rather dark here with about 7 hours a day of daylight, so I'm focusing more on night photography. Interesting how man-made light typically looks like...</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings, and Happy Wednesday! I'm back again after some travelling and heavy work! ;)</p>

<p>First I'd like to thank Jonas Fjellstedt, Marc Henry and Jeannean Buglady (in the critique section) for the kind words on my last week's photo.<br>

The Feria of San Telmo is the biggest antique market in Buenos Aires. Every Sunday the small Dorrego Square is invaded with more than 270 stalls.<br>

In November they celebrate the birthday of the Feria ( 39 this year) and some of the vendors clad in fancy dress costumes <br>

Many asked him if the pirate outfit are his real cloths (for the price he charge his junk) </p>

<p>Hello, and happy Wednesday!</p>

<p>Went for a walk in the woods and came across this miraculous little spot. I'd like to call it "Living on an island", which reminds me of an old Status Quo song... ;-)</p>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

Greg, thank you for your very kind comment.<br>

This week has started off well, I can already see the quality here. My photo is of a tree in my garden, the sky was beautiful today, we are really fortunate in Australia to have such a scenery. <br>

I look forward to the rest of this thread. <br>

Good day Wdayers, here is my contribution this week<br>

<p><strong>Even Rainy Days end Beautifully on City Island</strong></p>

<p>City Island. It’s a local island rich in nautical themes. Boats, ship yards, docks and moorings all over the place. Probably has the largest concentration of Seafood restaurants of anywhere. On its 2 mile long main street there are about 30. There’s also fishing galore with many charter and party boats making their home there. Plenty of Piers and surfcasting for fishing from land. Sometime in the future I’ll do a photo of a colorful eatery called Johnny’s Reef.</p>

<p>Lately I’ve had a film rebirth. I’m having a lot of fun with some of my old toys that have been sitting in a drawer for a while. Press the shutter button and the camera has a whole different feel. The motor drive advancing film after each shot makes it feel like photography. You’ll also be surprised how fast you go thru 36 shots after shooting digital with cards that hold a few hundred photos. Also nothing like coming home from work and finding slides in the mail.</p>

<p>Nice pictures already.</p>

<p>Mine is actually the only one I did in the entire week :-(</p><div></div>

<p>Morning,</p>

<p>my photo this week was taken on Sunday. It shows just how much rain we've been having. It's not just North West England getting a soaking but North Wales aswell. This is the car park at Bala Lake. D700, Nikon 18-35mm, tripod. 2.5 secs @ f/11, iso 200.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning to all. Great start so far. My pic this week is to make all those of you who are cold and maybe snowed in jealous of our great Florida weather. This is a Spotted Sea Trout that I caught Sat. My friend Tony was the Model holding the Trout for me. I'm doing a seminar in Jan. on how to take good fishing pictures, so we were doing some shots for my slide show. Nikon D200,35mm, F11, 1/640S, ISO 200</p><div></div>

<p>My contribution this week is from yesterday, not many interesting sights in a grey November but this, from the part old town, caught my eye.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone..</p>

<p >My contribution this week is from one of the acts at the London Jazz Festival. It’s an annual event spread over two weeks. Although I did manage to go for a few gigs, I only carried my camera once last week. It was quite challenging to get a shot of the bassist with the 80-400mm but in the end, I managed to get this picture.</p><div></div>

<p>My son the goalie got to play a couple of games at the BankAtlantic Center (home of the 'hot' Florida Panthers) on Monday - a real thrill for all 25 kids that got to play, and a bigger thrill for the 'big' kids who got to watch!</p><div></div>
