Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC #32

[benniehoff]

<p>Last weekend there were hundreds of hummingbirds flitting around some birdfeeders up in the San Bernardino National Forest. All I had with me was a 60mm macro lens. So I got close and waited a while for the birds to decide it was ok to get in front of the camera. Had to crop this one significantly, as they still did not get very close.</p><div></div>

<p>A friend is so kind loaning me his computer for a while to check the thread, but the connection is wireless and low width... less than half of the pics are downloaded.<br>

I want to thank you all your contributions and comments, this one looks to be another great thread. I hope to have another opportunity to enjoy and to comment <em>all </em>your postings. Thank you all.</p>

[jeannean_.]

<p>Oh my...such wonderful additions since I last checked. Like I have said before, it's like a trip around the world on Wednesdays here. I'm short on time, so can't comment on all the new additions, but know you have all made a contribution that is appreciated.<br>

Waldemar: Your daughter is absolutely lovely. I know you must be proud.<br>

Jeff K: I was just thinking about the TIFT tournament this morning! Wish I had been there (we're in the same corner of the world...but I like where you are better :) Counting those reels...WOW. Think how much money is sitting in the back of that boat (not to mention the boat)!<br>

Oskar: Please pick a few and enjoy them for me! Lovely and scrumptious!<br>

Monika: Hot air balloons AND fireworks?! Unbelieveable. That would be a dream come true for me.<br>

Janne: I love that shot and hope everyone enjoyed the wine...kuddos for the festival.<br>

To everyone: THANK YOU for making Wednesdays so special! I really love looking at each and every photo.</p>

<p>This is my first post to the WedNEsDAy thread not sure it holds up to the high standards I see here but wanted to join in the fun. My wife and I were in Russia a few weeks ago. This was taken in a small town in the Golden Ring.<br>

<p>So much terrific work. I'm especially taken by the landscapes this week. Looking at Pe-Christian's, I smell the salt breeze. Neil's moonlit image from Jersey seems like it could be from another world. I love the subtle colors in Benjamin's scene, the nostalgia evoked by Michael Axel's, the inner glow from Jens's black-and-white, and Lil's powerful IR. Pedro's image from Portugal takes my breath away, and Hamish's is simply gorgeous, as his work always is.</p>

<p>And Chris Court - c'mon! That cannot possibly be a real place! Is that where you find the meter long dragonflies you've shown us in earlier threads? Are there unicorns gamboling just behind the trees?</p>

[jessegonzalez]

<p>Hi Everyone, I have seen some great photo's today. I have not had a chance to go out and shoot this week, so I have put an older one from Last September. Nikon D50 80-200 f/2.8 Enjoy.......Jesse</p>

<p><strong>@Lil : </strong> Thanks for the comment. Yeah it's too close. Actually because of the bushes feet were cut in the actual picture, so to make it look better (and I hope it looks better) I cropped the picture.</p>

<p>attached is the actual picture.</p><div></div>

[steve_lyon1]

<p>I sure enjoy the inspiration and motivation to <em>take</em> pictures, and <em>better</em> pictures, provided by these WedNEsDAy postings. It's great to see what everyone is able to do, and very humbling. A special thanks to <strong>Lil</strong> for taking the time to comment on each and every picture. Your dedication is noted and appreciated.</p>
