matters410 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>Great photos everyone! The retina is a little creepy but very cool. <br> Wish I could tell you the name of this flower because I found it very tricky to shoot with the minimal depth of field that micro shooting allows. Originally taken vertically but I like it better like this.<br> To think, I used to hate Wednesdays :)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closeby it was shade already, the birds in the water didn't get any light on them at all. And then the Great Blue Heron came. I used 300mm f/4 for many days (in a row) before this day [and i lost many shots due to the AF slowness of that lens], and i don't know if i would have gotten this shot with that lens (the one i used for this shot was f/2.8) and especially with the 1.4X teleconverter on f/4 lens i would have missed it. And the light was just so good...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanappa Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>With all the pictures of new snow, I went out this morning before work to shoot the flowers beginning to bloom in my gardens. But I was more struck by the early-morning light bringing out the warmth of the old leaves, new sprouts, and a couple of ... busy pill-bugs. Spring shows itself in many ways I guess.

mt4x4 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>From the Mule & Draft Association's driver contest at the winter fair this weekend.</p> <p>The lighting in the arena is really poor, making it tough to get a sharp photo. They have BOTH flourescent and tungsten lights (whcih makes WB a pain), and its not very bright, the best I could get was 100-125th of a second at 1600 ISO. Probably 1/15 photos I took were acceptabley sharp, even with a monopod.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>Lovely shot Keith,<br> I'm a horse lover - what can I say....<br> OK - my humble entry for this week is taken with the D700 (we're making friends) with the 300mm AF-s F/4 & my Kenko 1.4 TC.<br> I'm blessed with a lot of Goldfinches of both the Lesser & American kind right now - probably partially due to the fires which means their normal hangouts are without food.<br> I'm hoping this American Goldfinch male will stick around until he's in full color. Right now I'm learning the D700 & the weather has been sad for us. I'm also working on getting closer to them & I seem to be gaining their trust. Cloudy/rainy day unfortunately....<br> EXIFs embedded as always...<br> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/v5/p852790938-4.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabesouza Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>Thank you, Lil. Your goldfinch is absolutely stunning! Enjoying that D700? What's not to love? Although for your shooting, do you find it somewhat limiting not having the crop factor that is, till you get used to it?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>Thank you Richard - lets just hope they stick around till full summer plumage. I'd love that...<br> Thank you Gabe - glad you like my little guy. Yes I am enjoying the D700. I would have entered the ISO 6400 Rock Wren I shot last Wednesday - but that should have gone into last weeks thread - so look for it on my site. It's amazing even without any NR & even at 50%.<br> I am truely surprised at the quality of this camera. I used one of the shots from this day & did a 100% crop of this male in another shot. It's chocking the amount of detail it has.<br> I'm no longer concerned about shooting wildlife with it. I love my D300, but the D700 is plain AmAzInG<br> Lil :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascal64 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>So many great shots. All the beautiful winter images make me kind of sad that Spring is coming....not really. Well ...not only did I just get my D300..but I also shot my first RAW. Here is the first bounty. Not as sharp as it should be because the boat was bouncing around a bit. No sealegs in February. F5.6... 1/2000... ISO1000... 70-300mm</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batsonca Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>Haven't anything to post but wanted to say what a fabulous set of pictures this week - am particularly taken with Eric's dog, I want one.

robertbody Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p>Hmmm, problem with my picture loading... could be intermittent.<br> It is embedded rather than attached, because my images are 800px or 880px wide and the system here does not show them if they are over 700px wide and attached, YET it takes a 880px embedded picture and does "width=700" on it. That is not consistent. It could be "consistent" from system point of view where it doesn't show if it's over 700px, but from user point of view if you do "width=700" do it for all over 700<br> Here is a link to - <a href="http://www.robertbody.com/answers/new-photos/html-2009-second/2009-02-13-riparian-herons-94217sp.html">my picture</a> - Great Blue Heron</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric_arnold Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 <p><em>" am particularly taken with Eric's dog, I want one. What's he/she called? Assume is french bulldog."</em></p> <p>that's Belle, who belongs to my friend Mike's neighbor Pierre. i'd guess you are right about her being a French bulldog. if you rub her between the eyes, she lets out contented little grunts of pleasure. an affectionate creature who's a joy to be around, although she's a bit impatient to be the perfect canine model.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
