<p>Hi. Coming and going to my office, I visualized this scene. It`s a "don`t-know-why" pic. I simply took my camera and gone for it.<br /> It is a litter near the metro entrance. It`s placement is unusual, and also very unusual people put out and leave their smokes in the top... it doesn`t happen on others. I waited a few minutes to have somebody`s legs in the background.</p>

<p>D700 @ 400ISO, 14bit RAW, 50AFS, f1.4 - 1/125sec. Late streetlight illumination. I wish I had my 35/1.4, I`d have prefered a wider angle of view.</p>

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

<p>It's wednesday again folks, and Jose is reliable as always.<br>

My pic is from a stroll at the harbour, when the morning fog over the river slowly started to rise.</p><div></div>

<p><strong>One More Fall Shot</strong></p>

<p>I just had to post one more fall foliage photo this year. Again in Vermont off of a country road. East Dover Road, Dover Vermont. I was going thru my shots from this fall and somehow this one got mixed in from a while ago. After some post processing it cleaned up nicely.</p>

<p>This was from the first time I shot digital instead of film during a fall season.. There are a lot of people who say that digital cameras become obsolete and pretty useless after newer model get released. I beg to differ. The D100 .was one of Nikon’s first generation of digital cameras. .When it came out it cost more that a d300s does today ($1995.00) and was the hottest camera on the market. Today you can’t give a used one away.</p>

<p>It still takes the same great pictures today as it did when it was new and all the rage. Here’s the proof below. Remember the equipment is not the most important part of photography.</p>

<p>Glad I stayed up late tonight. Nikon D80, 18-200mm Nikor zoom.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy WeDNeSDaY everyone! Every week flies by fast!</p>

<p>As usual, first of all let me thank those who took the time to see and even more to those who mentioned my image last week!</p>

<p>I wasn't sure what to post today and what I have more than being artistic I think it's just funny!<br /> I like the contrast of the white heron landing between all the black cormorants! Also the way they are looking at him!</p>

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

<p>Thank you all for participating and sharing your fabulous work! Cheers!</p>

<p>Oh, it's Wednesday again! Brilliant!<br>

José, that looks like someone dumped their cigarette butts on a table... disgusting.</p>

<p>Thanks to the Richards (Karash and Armstrong), René, Janne, Benjamin, Dan, Peter, Tiffany and Tom for your kind comments. I appreciate these - on bleak days, they pull me up.</p>

<p>Here's my workplace. It's not stairway to heaven, really, but a nice thing to capture: <em><strong>D700, 24-70/2.8 at f11 and ISO 200 - </strong> </em> and yes, the colours are like that; in fact, the entire building is an artistic oeuvre.</p>

<p>Hi everyone & excited about it being Wednesday. I'm feeling better & have something new to contribute. I was going to do an IR shot, but was so thrilled to get this Cedar Waxwing tossing a berry before it went down I decided I'd stick with my bird theme & share this one....<br>

This was shot with the <strong>D300 & the Sigmonster 300-800mm f/8 ISO 400, 1/1000s, A mode, -0.3 EV & it's a 50% crop</strong> as these birds were not willing to play fair. :-( I will however attempt at getting them again. I guess I could title this one <strong>"The Toss"</strong> or something like that....<br>

I hope you'll enjoy & thank you to everyone who's supported me over the last few weeks. It has meant so much to my family & I.<br>

<p>Renè, I see you`re using a Kenko TC... I wonder about your decission with the broken Nikon.<br />Monica, yours is a very nice place to work... mine is like that litter (well, I`m a bit negative about my office). You`re lucky... :)<br />Per, thanks!<br />Hamish, looking at your pics you cannot imagine how I miss my youthfulness, where I used to enjoy my life in places like yours...</p>

<p>Hi,<br>

great start to Wednesday as always. This is from a studio session last weekend. Included as I managed to get this effect accidently (with the Nik software vivenza plug-in) so will work on getting that into a process. D700, 24-70, Lastolite Hilite (great backdrop, not so many stars for the under-lit train which was why I was playing with vivenza in the first place......)<br>

<p>It looks like there is a Bird theme developing. Shot yesterday at a wetland park here in south Florida. Here a Woodstork sits perched in a tree looking for a nice meal. Hope you like it. I am also up early to continue my Florida Pier project from last week, today I am reshooting one that was not so great, and heading to the west coast. Naples, to shoot another one lots of miles today. :)</p><div></div>

<p>A dandelion blooming in November? Or is it something else? I'm so shamefully ignorant when it comes to flowers, among many other things.</p><div></div>

<p>here's a shot of musician junior reid, converted to b&w</p><div></div>

<p>Got a network error before I could put in my pic. Here it is.</p>

<p>A dark, wet week.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday! My family came down for Thanksgiving and we all went to South Padre Island, TX to enjoy some fun in the sun. I took a lot of photos, but I think this one was my favorite. My brother and sister-in-law decided to renew their wedding vows after 20 yrs of marriage, so I got to play "wedding photographer" for the first time. I was nervous about it, although it was just a casual affair on the beach with just the family. I forgot to change lenses, so ended up taking them with my Sigma 150mm macro lens. I thought it performed pretty well, although I had to stand a ways back. This photo summed up the day for me, so titled it "Happiness". This was taken right after the ceremony when my brother picked her up and twirled her around:<br>

<p >Hello to everyone and Happy WedNEsDAy. It is such a treat to view all of the spectacular contributions each week. They make Wednesdays special. Thank you Douglas for your kind comment on my posting last week. Today I’m submitting my first experience shooting heavy, “pea soup” thick fog. This was taken in Orange Beach, Alabama. You are looking west at a 10+ story condominium and its lights are on. As a rank beginner, any comments would be appreciated</p>
