<p>My Internet connection is barely moving right now, so I can't honestly say "great photos, all." In the meanwhile, here is my modest contribution.</p><div></div>

[nina_myers]

<p>Very nice everyone.</p>

<p>I love the presence of film here. Can never get enough film!</p>

<p>Great pictures everyone. I look forward to this thread every week. Here is a flower I snapped after it rained the other morning.</p>

[chris_vicino]

<p>Ok, lets try that again.</p>

<p>Hi!<br>

I like this thread because of the inspiring variety of photographs - thanks for creating this „anchor“ within the Nikon forum, Jose! <br>

And this weeks contributions really stand out quality-wise.</p>

<p>I started typing a list with some of favorites but the list was becoming longer every minute and so let me pick just the picture I like the most this week: </p>

<p> - Jarle's „child“ is simply stunning - I can't remember seeing a better lensbaby-shot. Awesome!</p>

<p>My contribution this week is a picture I like for indescribable reasons - I just like it. Shot during a hockey-match (game? - please excuse my english). One team changed the goalies and this girl in full protective clothing was running at a simply unbelievable speed towards her goal.<br>

Nikon D700, AF-S VR 200 with TC-14 @ f4.0, 1/2500sec <br>

<p>Sanford, I can't post to this forum when I use my usual web browser Firefox 3. When I want to post something I have to crank up Internet Explorer and use it. I don't know if this is part of your problem but you may want to try using a different browser to post.</p>

<p>Here is my contribution for the week. Since today seems to be a pet day...</p>

<p>D90 Iso-1600, 1/30 sec @ 5.3, 28-100 f3.5-5.6 Nikkor lens</p><div></div>

<p>Nice shot Jose, and great work everyone. This shot is from last week's trip to Ocean Beach. D90, 70-300VR @300mm, 1/1250, f8, ISO 320.</p><div></div>

<p>While golfing on Friday I saw this Blue Heron stalking a lunch time treat, unfortunately the course was busy and I couldn't hang around for the big shot. I am always so impressed with the photo's on Wednesday, they're great inspiration.</p><div></div>

[scottferris]

<p>Lex, I rarely have a shot with more than one hand on my D1x. For some reason we try to treat these 15 pound camera set ups like point and shoots! Love the shot and the shoot-from-the-hip style.<br>

Benjamin, the lines on that bridge give it a feeling that there is something bouncing across the water. I like that shot a lot.<br>

Friday morning I hung out with the pigeons of old town Eureka CA. I was setting my camera on a 20 second delay, putting it on the ground, and throwing bird seed in front of the lens. Selected b&w in camera, tone curves adjusted in photoshop.</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Moderator's note:</strong> Regarding photo uploads, there should be clear prompts for attaching a photo after you've confirmed a comment. Unless there is a browser-specific bug (I haven't tried all browsers), this prompt should always be visible. In many cases folks are on auto pilot and close the browser window or tab without noticing the follow-up prompt for attaching photos.</p>

<p>The alternative is to use the image attachment link from your off-site host (Flickr, smugmug, zenfolio, whatever you use). For photo.net use the standard HTML tag that begins with:<br>

"< img src ="<br>

Don't use "EZCode" or similar alternatives with straight brackets, such as the commonly seen "[img", etc. Those don't work on photo.net. They were developed for PHP and later web forum designs.</p>

<p>If you still have trouble attaching photos after carefully reading the prompts just <a href="http://mce_host/bboard/lexnotlex2@netscape.net">e-mail me</a> and I'll try to insert the link into your existing post.</p>

<p>One of the downfalls of posting earlier in the day is that there are so many more to comment on later and I can't get to them all! But I'd like to say that <strong>Don Harper's </strong>shot is very patriotic and touching. Thanks for sharing, Don!</p>

[doug_santo]

<p>I like Don Harper's image. I like the depth of field effects, the high contrast, the color saturation, and the deep blue-black in the uniforms that frame the flag-drapped coffin. A fitting image for the holiday.</p>

[ken_i_h]

<p>Kris, thank you. I want to be able to take flowers as well as you. Did you just put the black sheet or board behind it?<br>

Lex, super good timing shot!<br>

Gary M, Pedro C, Rob S, Indranil, I really like the landscape of yours.<br>

Glenn C, very, very nice night highway and red/white/blue. I would love to have yours framed and put on the wall!<br>

Georg S, very vivid color and sharp!<br>

Ilkka, hope you enjoyed NYC!<br>

Homer, love you dog - looks tired.<br>

Sanford G, so detailed and well captured.<br>

Carey M, wonderful. Like the composition, color and the station master.</p>

<p>Too many to mention.... I love this thread. Makes me want to go out every weekend with my camera. Thank you, everyone.</p>

I used black sheet and placed my flower about 2 feet from the background<br>

then i just adjusted black point in PS to get rid of any spots that were showing.</p>

[wade_roth]

<p>I think I say the same thing all the time... great stuff everyone.</p><div></div>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=3937630">Ton Mestrom</a> -- a like your photo of a cat in a cemetery. I made a photo of a seagull at the St. Michele cemetery in Venice, maybe I should post it next time.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2301406">Rene' Villela</a> -- I like your b/w image, and I am glad that you didn't clone out the light.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=3854064">Bogdan Nicolescu</a> - a striking image. We don't like looking at death, although it's not a bad idea to get used to something that's an absolutely inevitable part of life.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=4264174">Darko Vrsic</a> -- the expressions on the kids' faces are priceless!<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=2355248">Bruce Margolis</a> -- I can see why this face intrigued you, it's a great capture.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=1119106">Thangavelu Nachimuthu</a> -- a very spontaneous moment captured.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=4260019">Lester Rosebrock</a> -- I like the way the color of the car related to the color of the chair.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=127625">Sanford Gerald</a> -- a very unexpected perspective on a horse!<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=3934868">Richard Armstrong</a> -- a great capture, I love the kid's face! the 18-200mm VR can do some good portrait work.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=19054">Ilkka Nissila</a> -- this face does stand out in the crowd!<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=1489065">Homer Arment</a> -- a very moving portrait of a dog.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=470295">Don Harper</a> -- heartbreaking, thanks for sharing.<br>

@ <a href="http://www.photo.net/photodb/user?user_id=574629">Indranil Chandra</a> -- cliched it may be, but it's still beautiful!</p>
