<p>Dave Lee, that's a great landscape! I remember, back in the early 80's, picking up a National Geographic with an article on Mt St Helens just after the major eruption. At the time I was a young lad living in New Zealand. I have not seen a picture of the St Helens area since, until now...Great work!<br>

I also Like Gary's Snowdonia <br /><br />and Lil's beach.... Beautiful!</p>

<p>Just bought a Sigma APO 50-150mm F2.8 II EX DC HSM. Shot a show of my brother-in-law last Saturday at Genghis Cohen in Los Angeles. Light was very low so I had to push to 1600 on my D70s, first time I used 1600 since buying the camera 3 years ago and found it to be more acceptable than I thought. I adjusted the exposure, gamma and sharpened with Apple's Preview and prepped the upload with Canvas X Mac.</p><div></div>

<p>I keep coming here every week and am amazed by most of the submissions!!! Keep it up people!!! I wish to make my first contribution which even though probably nowhere near most photos here, will hopefully bring a smile to your faces!!! This is my son lying on a bench at home - Nikon D200 - 50mm @ F4 ISO 400 1/60s</p><div></div>

<p><img src="../photo/9694438" alt="" /> Good afternoon to everyone - I really enjoy the variety and quality of images - they are all good: to mention just a few: Per-Christian - lion needs a hair dresser; Alexandro - love the carp - they are singing for food; Cees - lovely clouds; Hamish - I should be drinking from that glass; Uzay - very cute; Richard A - beautiful form; Paul - love that wavy pattern and the color; Gary - good stuff; As I said they are all good.<br>

Mine is from a few weeks ago - a late afternoon in the Caribbean island of St.Kitts on a beach located at the South East Peninsular called South Friar's Bay. Almost deserted in July and for selfish reasons I prefer it that way. Taken with my favorite combo these days D300 and Sigma 10-20mm about 15 minutes before the sun sets giving the sand a golden glow.</p>

<p>Hi everyone. Gorgeous work again this week...as usual! I never in my life thought I'd look so forward to Wednesdays.<br>

This week I set my daughter up in the garage to paint on a big blank canvas to decorate her room. She had a blast going between all the bright colors and the canvas, I had fun documenting it, and we got beautiful original art out of the deal!</p>

<p>My wife bought the milk wead plant to attract Monarch Butterflies and I thought it was cool how a Monarch catterpiller attached himself to the Home Depot label.</p><div></div>

<p>I am so glad that I shoot with a "Neh-con", so I can be a part of this thread.</p>

<p>Jose...You are on to something here. I just love the look...the warmth, the bokeh...really beautiful shot</p>

<p>Per...I do believe that he is meditating! What a great shot!</p>

<p>Shun...wonderful clean image. Great use of HDR/ FDR/ levels or whatever you are doing...really beautiful stuff</p>

<p>Tim...lovely...great capture of a very heartwarming reunion</p>

<p>Justin...It looks like the baby definitely had his own opinion about the selections (>8</p>

<p>Janne...That looks like just too much fun. I can't believe that you could tear away to shoot the party!</p>

<p>Paul...gorgeous...beautiful...gorgeous...beautiful</p>

<p>Sanford....Good catch. He is actually managing to upstage the (is that a ) camaro behind him...no easy feat...and I know that wasn't easy to catch that moment.</p>

<p>Kevin...lovely, sweet, light portrait. Really beautiful.</p>

<p>Amy...I love the comp...very clever!</p>

<p>Here is my contribution from last Wednesdays show...JJ Grey and Mofro. If you haven't heard these guys, check 'em out at <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mofroband">http://www.myspace.com/mofroband</a>. JJ has one of the most soulful voices in rock n roll today. My kids just adore him and I managed to take a break from dancing to catch them in the act.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Evening,<br>

Another great selection this week :<br>

Aaron - beautiful contrast - the tone of the image drew me in.<br>

Matthew - great stark image - really made me look at the detail.<br>

Chris - lovely composition, the light seems to eminate from the logo.<br>

Louis - great find - reminds me why I always carry a camera.<br>

My offering is of a boat called the Nomadic. She was used to carry passengers to the Olympic class of White Star liners in Cherbourg, including the Titanic. The boat has be bought by Belfast council and is about to be restored after years as a floating restaurant in Paris. Enjoy.</p><p>Marc</p>

<p>Another fabulous Wednesday. So many wonderful images once again. My submission this week is from a wedding I shot recently in Haiku. I always look for detail shots, and was glad to capture this one. In hindsight, I wish I would have gotten the inscription on the glass........</p><div></div>

<p>Hello all</p>

<p>I'm very, very late this week. I'm on holidays in Switzerland with my wife and I completely forgot WedNesDay's!!<br>

Here's my contribution for this week: my brother showed us his workplace. He makes these 90 lb (=40kg) cheeses!<br>

D700, 50 f/1.4 AF-D @f2.2, 1/30 ISO800 handheld - straight out of camera.<br>

<p>Barry, very impressive shot!</p><div></div>

[Matt Laur]

<p>There are some today that definitely talk to me, so if you'll indulge me:<br /><br /><strong>Jose</strong>: that sepia, and your focus decisions, suit that corn really well. Lovely.<br /><strong>Ilkka</strong>: the brass section is nice - but I'm trying to understand the perspective (on the first sax player's head) - was it cropped?<br /><strong>Chris Court</strong>: I'm a sucker for rusty heavy equipment that DoF and saturation really work for the shot.<br /><strong>Ton</strong>: Such delicate textures and tones, and backlight kept perfectly under control.<br /><strong>Matthew B</strong>: Lunatastic.<br /><strong>Alejandro</strong>: The light on the carp and water is really unique. I like it.<br /><strong>Jeannean</strong>: Long sleeves, knee pads, insect repellent, and macro lenses all go together. Great water drop.<br /><strong>Mike O'Day</strong>: Your miniturizing post technique is once again tweeking with my sense of scale. Nice matchbox racer!<br /><strong>Lester</strong>: The gangs of skater punks in my neighborhood aren't nearly that attractive - good catch.<br /><strong>Richard</strong>: Great Blues just never get uninteresting. But I still can't shake the image of canoeing with that body and lens. Yikes! But it was worth it for that detail.<br /><strong>Joris</strong>: My first thought (before I saw that you were at a theater festival) was, "How theatrical!"<br /><strong>Louis M</strong>: That silverware shot is just terrific.<br /><strong>Kevin C</strong>: That good ol' D200 rendered very nice skin tones on that charming shot of your son.<br /><strong>Tony H</strong>: Ain't that 10mm end of the Sigma 10-20 fun?<br /><strong>Pedro C</strong>: I like the environmental composition in your shot with the Wall O' Cheese and your brother.<br /><br />Keep up the good work, everybody. These threads really do lighten up the middle of the week.</p>

<p>Late submission...</p><div></div>

<p>Hey Matt, I really like the rooster and his harem! I was in my 17.5 foot Lund fishing boat...very safe, very stable. But, I would have done it from a kayak...gets you in there...that's what counts:-)<br>

<p>So many gorgeous shots, if I had to pick, Aaron Bonnici's <em>Sisters</em> stood out for me among many very strong images. My photograph was taken a few days ago in Santa Barbara county with a Nikon D80, AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm lens (125 - f18).</p><div></div>

[jill_bingham]

<p>The thread is great, the variety of great images are a pleasure to look at and learn from. Thank you everyone for taking the time to post !<br>
