<p>Great pictures everyone! Here's one I took a few weeks ago:</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everyone! This is my first time posting. I just discovered this forum a few days ago. This shot is from a few weeks ago of my Cairn terrier, Henry, basking in the sun at my daughter's house. We were just sitting around talking when I noticed him and ran to get my camera. I tried to leave a bit of pattern showing in the cot, the rug, and Henry's coat and still get the stark contrast that I wanted. I would love to experiment more in this spot, but my daughter is remodeling and that in an interior wall now!</p><div></div>

<p>Wow, the photos just get better. Richard, I will have to agree with you. I have gone around to some old churches and cathedrals but Old St. Patricks was definitely the darkest. I didn't take my tripod as I would be traveling through mid-town Manhattan during the day. I even asked the maintainence guy if he could turn the lights on but he just smiled and kept working.</p>

<p>Another great Wednesday thread! My comments will have to wait until I am done with the day's work:( In the meanwhile, here is my contribution; I tried to capture the fog rolling into the Palo Colorado Canyon, Big Sur, CA, at sunset. It hasn't come out too well, I am afraid, but I really want to learn how to photograph fog, we have quite a lot of it here on California's Central Coast...</p><div></div>

[eric_arnold]

<p>hey, happy wednesday, nikon fans!<br>

this pic was taken a while back<br>

i dont do a lot of landscapes, but every now and then i like to grab the tripod and the ultrawide and find something picturesque...helps my overall sense of composition, which sometimes can be forgotten when you are shooting action<br>

this one's from lake merritt in oakland...</p><div></div>

<p>Hello all! From a recent Baden Baden, Germany trip.</p><div></div>

<p>Christopher, your photo does indeed look too flat. While I'm using Firefox I'm fairly sure that it's not the browser but an overall lack of contrast. Having said that color management can indeed be somewhat challenging. If you need some help just drop me a e-mail.</p>

<p>This is from Lark in the Morning Music Celebration, a yearly week long get together for trad musicians. Shown is a photo taken about 3:30 in the morning whilst playing at a marathon session for hours. Inspired by the close-ups shown here, I thought it demonstrates amazing qualities of the 70-200 on a D200 down to the pores:) <img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1133/1220389964_4cd2a636f1.jpg?v=0" alt="" /></p>

<p>Another excellent week I'd say. I so love the diversity of this thread. It's so inspiring. :-)<br>

I want to humbly thank;<br>

<strong>Monika, Waldemar, Ray Gosalia</strong> (yes the rain added a lot), <strong>Aaron</strong> (yes I agree, the effect of the rain in the shots sure did add), <strong>Benjamin</strong> (I'd prefer temps around 80 something & yes at 14 lbs for the Sigmonster alone - it is a large & heavy lens), <strong>Keerthi s r</strong> (If they do, then I'm very happy because how could I possibly ask for more), <strong>Kris Bochenek</strong> & <strong>John</strong><br>

<p>Wednesday again, that is, in 25 min it is Thursday here in Norway, so I haste to publish my photo this week. Since beautiful pictures of lions and tigers already have been posted, I'll continue the zoo drive, this time with hungry elephants.</p>

<p>What a community this is!</p>

<p>Per-Christian This is one of the coolest shots I've seen today I can tell they are enjoying their grass</p>

<p>Thanks for your comment, Kris. With all the little kids around, the elephants had a steady supply of fresh grass...</p>
