<p>I thought this was a neat tea-shirt. This was taken with my F100 and a 35 f2 AFD lens. The film was Fuji Reala 100.</p>

<p>One from the archives. When I arrived the weather was completely clear. The fog swallowed up the entire bridge in about 20 minutes. I felt sorry for the boaters and para-sailors who were out on the water in droves that day.<br>

<br /> Nikon D200, 17-55 mm f/2.8, ISO 100, Direct sunlight WB<br /> Exposed for color, not for bits.</p>

<p>I seem to be a hour late... But it's still Wednesday in parts of the world.</p>

<p>I really wished that I would have a image made with the new 35 posted here. But the DOA situation really turned me off.</p>

<p>*D300 (I typed D400 below by accident...)</p><div></div>

<p>Wonderful shots this week everyone. I enjoy this post so much. I really like how it spans the age, experience, and equipment range. From witty and creative to thoughtful and serious. It is wonderful to see people so inspired to take a closer look at the world around them. Thank you all for your awesome images! Keep taking wonderful pictures and keep having fun! See you all next Wednesday =)</p>

Bruce - got to love the classic dog pose.<br>

Dan - beautiful shot</p>

<p>OK - it's minutes before midnight..... I had the opportunity with a friend to get a photo op with a captive American Kestrel Saturday. We took it. This little male was found on the street & someone put him in a cage & fed him bird seed. Luckily someone found out & he ended up in the hands of a rescue organization. Due to reasons this guy can not be released. I believe he was so young when he was found he'd not learned to hunt. But he was a wonderful subject. Problem was, the hand which held him was moving a lot so I was lucky I got some nice shots.<br>

Shot with the D700 & the 300mm AF-S f/4 EXIFs embedded as always...<br>

<p>Thank you Alastair & Richard -<br>

Hi John, he was very intent. But his handler/falconer was scanning the sky the whole time to make sure the Cooper's did not pounce on the little Kestrel. I was told that they had to close up the office door as the Cooper's would fly in to the office & try to get the Kestrels in there. They actually did battle over one of the Kestrels one time. It was on a long leash to practice its flying when a Cooper's came & wanted to make it dinner.... But due to the leash they could save the kestrel.<br>

Thank you Keith<br>

Johannes - what a lovely bathtub shot. :-)<br>

Lil :-)</p>

<p>Hey Ray,</p>

<p>Thanks for the compliment! I saw your photo and thought the light looked familiar. I'm in Jersey, too! Let's hope for some clear days. Too much haze lately!</p>

<p>My first foray into night photography after getting my new tripod last week.</p><div></div>

[jose_angel]

<p>I have been looking a the whole thread a lot of times trying to choose my favourite pic but found this task almost impossible. Many good pics, I cannot select one of them.<br>

Sometimes I like one, another times a very different one... probably I`d take the one from Shawn McFarlane, <i>"Fate"</i>, just to be hanged in my office. It fits my style of photography.<br>

Thanks to Hamish, Hydeyuki (btw, I like your pic, too), Lil and Alastair for your compliments. Great pics, everyone..</p>

[Rene11664880918]

<p>JOSE.... Don't even try it! That is such a difficult task. I think we all have different styles and every single shot is great. Some times I try to compliment some members but the thread now gets too long that when I get to the bottom of it I have lost count of all the shots. I think it is just easier to grab a beer, relax and enjoy every single shot! :)</p>

<p>EVERYBODY..... Thank you to those who liked my pheasant shot and also to those who liked my son's shot (HIDEYUKI). He doesn't talk much. He just want to put his picture here. And thank you for participating in this thread. I really enjoy it! </p>

<p>Next.... What should we do about JOSE ANGEL? He should be penalized! :) He posted such a HUGE picture TWICE as big as he should... and then he posted again! I think he shouldn't be aloud to look at the WeDNesDaY PiC threads for ... uhmm!? Let's say a year! :)<br>

Great work everybody! Cheers!</p>

<p>Nah, Rene, let's not make a big deal about an isolated unintentional incident. I've occasionally uploaded the wrong version of a JPEG, an easy mistake since when preparing JPEGs for the web I usually make two versions, a larger, hi-rez version for my portfolio and another smaller, more compressed version for forum displays.</p>

<p>Unfortunately forum admin software doesn't allow me to swap out versions of photos, but it's not a big deal.</p>
