Ian Rance Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p>Once again I am silenced by the quality of the photographs already. A book using these images would be a success I am sure.</p> <p>Last Friday was my Father's 70th birthday. He is never very willing to have his photograph taken, but this was a very important day and I really wanted to get a nice portrait of him on his special day. Before the party and guests I set up the chair and his cards and got him comfortable. I fired off a few shots and after 3 or 4 he relaxed and started to enjoy it. I used my FM3a, 85mm f/2 (at f/2) and film was Fuji Superia 200. I was a bit worried about how they would turn out but he was happy with them in the end which is a plus.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph_leotta Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p>Erik - Excellent capture. Nikon could use that photo as a ad for the 24-70 lens</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary_mcghee Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p>Monika, great stuff.<br />Hamish, nice close up.<br />Justin, great looking jellyfish.</p> <p>Here's mine for today. I don't normaly take photo's of birds simply because i haven't got any lenses long enough. We stopped of at a picnic area in mid Wales on sunday and this little fellow was friendly enough to let me get close enough with my <strong>D200 and Tamron 90mm f/2.8.</strong> <strong>1/320 sec @ f/5.6.</strong> I had some bird seed in the boot of the car from a previous attempt at this sort of shooting.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Brennan Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Ian Rance, great work - I'd be so pleased if I could capture people like that. Lil Judd - Lovely highlights on the rear center ground foliage and a true sense of depth in your forest image. BTW your IR photo last week was a stunner! Another great lineup of Nikon photograhers this week....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjoerd_leeuwenberg Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p>Hi everybody,<br />I am shocked by the amount of fantastic pictures already,<br />Will look through them in more detail later and comment on them (still at work, haha)<br> Another older picture from me today, last year the amsterdam marathon came by my parents house, so it was a nice opportunity to take lots of pictures.<br />This is one of my favourites because of the hair, the expression and the colors. Taken with the D90 and the old 80-200mm F2.8 @2.8 200mm 1/3200 s iso 200</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is mine as I tried to use some black and white tecniches I learned in a photo magazine. This is a monument in Tromsø, a city that used to be a whaling harbor. Hope you like it</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Shafer Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p>Ian, what a great idea to pose your father with his cards! Simple but powerful, like many good ideas.</p> <p>(Edit: The lens is the AIS version.)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken_i_h Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p>There are already so many impressive ones. Will take time later to mention.<br /> I wish this were sharper. I should have used Auto ISO.... I hope you see, at least, them having fun.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarmstrong Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p>Good Morning! Very nice start again this week with some really beautiful shots so far! Things are finally beginning to grow in Upper Michigan. I took a walk around my yard over the weekend and found these ferns. This is with a D300 and a Sigma 30 mm f1.4 at f1.6, 1/1000 sec, iso 200, processed and cropped in Aperture.<br />I'm looking forward to viewing the rest...<br />Have a great day everyone!<br />Dick</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael_spencer3 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p>This image was taken on Sunday near Colonial Beach, VA from the parking lot of a restaurant overlooking the Potomac River. Two poles with platforms were installed near the docks to the rear of the restaurant, a third was installed in a parking lot on the other side of the highway. All three nests had active birds. I noticed other nests spotted around the town. Nikon D100 with 80-400@400mm and polarizing filter in the late afternoon; hand held F7.1 at 1/800 second.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne_wrights Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 <p >We had a 50's day celebration at the local Dairy Queen in Salisbury , NC . There were a lot of old Hot Rods cruising by all day long. The girls dressed up in 50's attire and car hopped also. Everyone had a blast. This is an annual event here. Thanks for looking. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
