Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC #19

[lex_jenkins]

<p><strong>Answering a few questions:</strong> <br /> <br /> <strong> Bernard:</strong> Not seeing any excess white space above your pic. I deleted the first blank post, tho'.<br /> <br /> <strong> Darko:</strong> That appears to be a Lee or Singh-Ray filter. Optical resin like the cheaper Cokins, but better quality and longer to facilitate subtle adjustments of their graduated density filters. (And I have no control over the photo.net interface for editing and adding photos later. Sometimes I can amend or append certain things but even the moderators are limited in access to the photo.net interface.)<br /> <br /> <strong> Benjamin:</strong> You don't need an ND filter, at least not for that photo. It's perfect just the way it is.<br /> <br /> <strong> Ryan:</strong> The WedPic threads are intended to encourage regular activity and recent photos, but we're not strict about it. Film photographers need more time to prepare so don't worry about the deadline pressure. Just join in and enjoy.<br /> <br /> <strong> Dan South:</strong> Done. First post zapped away.<br /> <br /> <strong> Justin Weiss:</strong> That's how photos and captions appear when linked via the img tag to an off-site host. I can't think of any way to change that.<br /> <strong><br /> Rodeo Joe:</strong> Your comment made me smile for the first time today. Lately, from a moderator's perspective, the Wed Pic threads are the highlight of my week. Some of the other threads give me a headache but this one's always fun.<br /> <strong><br /> Laseng:</strong> Remember to resize to a maximum of 700 pixels wide and 300KB or smaller. Otherwise photos will appear as linked attachments.<br /> <strong><br /> John Mac:</strong> Your photo appears to have a non-standard file extension. Unfortunately I have no way to edit it. If you'd like to resubmit be sure it has a standard ".jpg" extension and is 700 pixels or less in width, 300KB or less in size.<br /> <br /> And I won't play favorite photos, but I did notice a remarkable similarity in palette in landscapes from Gary McGhee and Hamish Gray. It's as if Nikon has developed a unique palette, akin to some of the distinctive color slide films. Probably just a coincidence, but I have trouble making my own photos match each other in color, let alone anyone else's!</p>

<p>In answer to Paul's question in regards to Infrared photography....<br>

Wikipedia will explain it a lot better than I can. But it has to do with which light waves are allowed to be recorded by the camera...<br>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared_photography<br>

Also - there are color IR photos as well. It all comes down to how you post process them after recording the light waves...<br>

At least that's all I've figured as far....</p>

<p>More super shots I see.<br>

Lil :-)</p>

<p>Bernard, regarding Jose's pig one shouldn't be forgeting about an apple in his mouth once he's on the serving plate.</p>

<p>From today, California poppy field on Highway 5 near Gorman, California. Uncropped. I had a lot of trouble with the yellow and orange colors getting blown out. I think I'll post an example in one of the technique forums for comments. This one came out okay after I messed with the white balance. Maybe the auto white balance is getting confused by all of the color?</p><div></div>

<p>Jose - that pig was well worth the wait. Too cute. :-)<br>

<p>Great pictures for a wednesday ;)</p>

<p>And now the pic!</p><div></div>

[darko_vrsic]

<p>Great pictures everyone! Thanks for answers about filter photographer is using on my picture. Lex you finally enlighten me, it is obviously graduated density filter, so it "<em>Allows you to seamlessly "hold back" bright sky 1,2, or 3 f-stops to balance foreground exposure."</em></p>

<p>LOL, Bernard, yours is a great idea, unfortunately I`m at your antipodes and this days could not be a good choice to cross the planet with a pig in arms, I`m afraid... ! :D<br />Lil, thanks. Brian, funny shot!</p>

<p>Thanks Hamish and Lil.<br>

Hamish, as a person who likes to shoot landscapes, I am always impressed by your work week after week.<br>

Lil, your first round with IR turned out great! I too have been intriqued with IR for a while and have a D100 that I'm considering getting converted. I wonder if there would be any significant differences in IQ between a D70 such as yours and an older D100. I believe they both share the same sensor.</p>

[sasvata__shash__chatterjee]

<p>Rene, thanks. Yes, Old Bridge = Pointe Vecchio, I just found out :-). Company that you enjoy but can't divulge can be great sometimes :-).</p>

<p>Lil, thanks. IR looks awesome, I have a D70 that I was going to let go, but your shot is inspiring.</p>

<p>John, Adam, Susan and Hamish, thanks. Yes, it is like a painting, I like John's "watercolor" characterization the best, it absolutely fits :-) I am decidedly left-brained, but after trying a lot and reading a lot of Freeman Patterson books, once in a while the dormant right-brain pokes through.</p>

<p>So many gorgeous shots. I am going to come back later this afternoon and view and comment on my favs.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In answer to Lil answer to my question : Thanks fo the link , until now I only seen color IR pictures. Your flowers picture is beautifull and delicate, but no different from an normal B/W .(unless the flowers are red in real life).</p>
