[brians.]

<p>This my first WedNEsDay post and there wasn't anywhere to go so I started shooting flowers in the front yard. D90, 16-85mm VR, f/5.6, 1/2500, ISO 200</p>

<p>Behind our balcony, everyday there is a guy like this one keeps venturing to the fastest end of the branches for his (her?) stomach. sure it did not worry about falling down. This image is a small crop of a frame taken with D200 and 105mm f2.5 AIS at f2.8, 1/320 handheld. By the way, Rene, could I borrow your 300mm combo with tripod for half an hour when you are not chasing those lucky birds?</p><div></div>

<p>Beautiful photos from everyone....and already so many posted! Makes Wednesdays something to look forward to! Here is another photo from a volleyball tourney this weekend. I love how the D700 coupled with the 70-200 f2.8 lens is able to capture indoor action shots. This combo is second to none!</p>

<p>....and now the photo!</p><div></div>

<p>Sorry for my ever so late input to this thread. I had our appointment to the accountant for taxes this morning. Then I gave my best friend an old laptop & bought her a wireless card for it. Set the whole thing up & got her on the web - then took her out for sushi for her birthday. I got home late - & at that point all the pets demanded my attention..... Due to preparation for this accountant appointment this morning I only had a chance to go shooting one day last week & it was a "slow" day. So my entry will come at the end of this.....<br>

OK - the stand outs are getting to be far too many for me - this thread is getting better all the time & is such a joy to go through.<br>

But here are my notables....<br>

Jose - I like this one.<br>

Rene' - love the in flight behavioral shot.<br>

Pedro - I love low angles - so I love the low angle of this one.<br>

Hamish - thank you for bringing me back to my youth with a visit with the Great Titmouse (I think it's called in English)<br>

Shawn - I'm not much for this type of photography - but I do like this shot.<br>

Ian - nice Spring shot<br>

Paul - neat shot<br>

Gary - peaceful shot<br>

Wayne - also a neat shot<br>

Hideyuki - I do hope that's your first name..... - anyhow - - well done I love your play with the dof (depth of field) in this one.<br>

Richard - could almost be North Pole - the people look out of place in that environment.<br>

Kevin - such a beautiful Doberman.<br>

Jens - Coast of Denmark? Looks just like the coast of Sweden - especially Skåne in the south - love it.<br>

Andy - neat shot.<br>

Bruce - love the beautiful colors & shapes<br>

Dennis - got to love the colors in this one<br>

Nick - wonderful dof play in this beautiful shot of a Persian.<br>

Dieter - another beautiful portrait<br>

Epp - beautiful landscape<br>

Keith - sweet shot<br>

Travis - love the intense look of that young man - concentration for sure....<br>

Doug - super detail & sharpness -excellent portrait<br>

Matthew - congratulations on your first Wednesday post. Lots of imagination in this shot.<br>

Andrew - love the light play<br>

Adam - love the angle<br>

Tony - congratulations on your first Wednesday post. Spring blossums is always nice.<br>

Alex - sweet shot<br>

Steve - cute kitten showing tons of personality<br>

Hector - love the colors & reflections<br>

Kevin - super portrait<br>

Ofer - love the portrait<br>

Jim - love the main dog - so much character he really deserved his own shot.<br>

Peter - brings me back to Stockholm, Sweden, as a child for some reason...<br>

Randy - love the wildflowers<br>

Cynthia - love it<br>

OK the threads are getting too great.<br>

So here's my meager contribution this week. I only had one day out for only part of the day & it was "slow". This is my daughter's top pick of four shots. I'm not sure if it is mine.....D700 with the 300mm AF-S & Kenko 1.4x TC EXIFs embedded...<br>

<p>Lil, thank you for giving me the English name of this little bird! I just couldn't remember it! I knew the Swedish name 'Talgoxe' and of course the Norwegian name 'Kjøttmeis', but my English vocabulary is really suffering, now that the only English input I get is through Photonet :-) Unfortunately I didn't have time to shoot him from different angles and the exposure was a bit off, but I'll try for a better shot another day. Beautiful flower BTW!<br />My favourites this week are René's heron, Gary's "watercolor", Kent's HDR and Dieter's portrait. I am also rather impressed by Hideyuki. Richard's winter scene appeals too. I love the art that nature creates with ice and snow in the winter time.</p>

ANDY... Great shot!<br>

BRUCE... Beautiful! but i expect that from your work!<br>

JOHN CONWAY... I love it! very interesting!<br>

 

<p>Impossible to mention every shot I like..... It would be easier just to say which one I don't like but I don't want Jose to be upset! :) Sorry! I couldn't help it! Some how I like to pick on Jose! :)<br>

JOSE... Are you still talking to me? :) I took a look at that link. I found a lot of cool stuff in there! Thank s for the link!<br>

Thank you all for your nice comments on my humble shot! Just remember that for the past 3 years I've been learning from the best here in Photo Net!<br>

We'll meet again next week! Now i gotta go back to work! Cheers!</p>

[hideyuki]

<p>Mr. Jens Frederiksen, Thank you for your e-mail. I tried to reply but I couldn't. My dad had already explained about Venice. It must be a very beautiful place. I just hope one day I have the oprtunity to go to Europe and see all those places. Thank you for your kind comments.</p>

<p>Mr. Paul B, Mr. John Conway, Mr. Bernie Moore, Mr. Dieter Schaefer, Mr. Gabe Souza, Ms. Lil Judd, Mr. Hamish Gray: Thank you for your support and kind words. Your words motivate me to try to learn more about photography. I wish I had more time to use my camera so I could learn faster. thank you very much.</p>

<p>Ms. Lil Judd, Yes, Hideyuki is my first name. My dad is trying to change my name to just my first name, age and location so it is easier for people to address to me. I like your flower.</p>

<p>So many beautiful pictures. Thank you for letting participate in this thread.</p>

Clock tower at Kuala Lumpur Independence Square last Sunday. The clouds explain the rain and floods we've been getting

for the past couple of weeks. I think it could be improved with HDR.<div></div>

<p>Steve K,</p>

<p>I love your volleyball shots! If I may ask, how did you set your White Balance? You've nailed the colors!</p>

[alex_foto]

<p>Thanks you very much, Lil Judd! I am learning each day. - I love the petals!<br>

Dan South - Geometry, indeed! I have been trying to take a similar photo for about a month or so...but didn't get chance, yet!<br>

Mark Doyle - Magnificient photo you got!</p>

[conwaygroup]

<p>Another tremendous Wednesday pic. The number of outstanding shots seems to grow every week. If I had to choose (and I'm glad I don't have to), I would say that Hector's vibrant colors and Kent's HDR were my favorites! Nice work guys!<br>

To all others, thanks for your posts. They all are a pleasure to see and serve as inspiration to go out and seek new subjects and different compositions.<br>

See you next week!</p>
