<p>good morning, nikonia...</p>

<p>this pic is of soul singer erykah badu, who i was lucky enough to shoot last friday. she's kind of working the retro angle really hard in this pic, which is interesting as her new material is very electronic/futuristic. added the sepia tone to make her even more retro.</p>

<p>anyway, here goes...</p><div>00URNA-171047984.jpg.5f89625b6cc61eecaed2c8bec57e3ad0.jpg</div>

<P>

<I>I have fixed Matthew's original post and deleted his complaint. I don't believe anybody deleted his image; if we did we would typically send an e-mail notification. There was probably a glitch. -- Shun</I>

<p>Who deleted my photo? Posted one minute- gone the next??</p>

<p>Matthew, as far as I can tell your photo hasn't been deleted. On the Wed Pic threads we only delete multiple photos posts (due to the one-photo-per-person rule) or, verrry rarely - only once so far that I can think of - photos that are not suitable for this forum (usually nudity, since we try to maintain a safe-for-work/school policy). Occasionally photo.net gets a bit buggy in photo-heavy threads and photo attachments are either lost or the links to remote sites are temporarily unavailable.</p>

<p>Photos attached directly to a discussion thread appear to be stored on a server named "static.photo.net", and occasionally that server is busy. The text of a thread will appear normally but sometimes an attached photo will not appear for several seconds and, rarely, several minutes. This is an unusual problem, as photos attached directly to posts are usually the most stable.</p>

<p>Photos linked via off-site hosts occasionally become unavailable for reasons beyond photo.net's control. That's why sometimes photos linked from Flickr, smugmug, Photobucket (yuck - painfully slow) and others will appear normally during one viewing and disappear later, only to reappear.</p>

<p>Clearing the browser cache and reloading the page from scratch often resolves these temporary glitches.</p>

<p>Lately I've been experimenting with linking photos I've first uploaded to my own photo.net portfolio, just to test the reliability of that method. So far, so good.</p>

<p>Rene, tim, Jeannean, Lil and Alejandro, thanks for the nice comments last week.<br />This week I have a picture from two weekends ago.<br />I went to germany to see my brother and family.<br />We went karting in the Michael schumacher karting center.<br />Besides the obvious karting pictures I also took some other pictures.<br />I was shooting the kitchen of the restaurant where there was some nice steam.<br />While I was shooting, a lady came in and started shaking one of the pans.<br />This resulted in a nice bowl of fire. I think she almost burned her hand.<br />The picture is not as sharp as I was hoping for but I like it anyway.<br />I wasn't able to comment last week, but the level of pictures was amazing again, well done everybody.<br>

And to comment on janne's critique idea, I would also like to see a bit more of creative ideas about pictures,<br>

because I think a lot of us are also here to learn. But it should not get out of control.<br />Picture is taken with the D90 & 80-200mm @ F6.7 80mm 1/90s iso 200 (I wish a put the iso on auto +/-800)</p><div>00URNq-171053584.jpg.31a4c513c2610e4b04525b009a1cc9ea.jpg</div>

<p>This is rainy season in Thailand and after a recent downpour, I spotted raindrops on the plants outside my front window. As I had just bought a new macro lens, I took a series of photos of the raindrops. This particular raindrop caught my attention as the house across the street from mine is visible in both drops. </p>

<p>Good morning!<br>

As usual there are already many superb images today! I have to mention that Lil's IR shot just leaps off of the screen...excellent!<br>

This is a shot of my wife's niece's daughter at Squaw Lake. It's with my D300, the 80-400 mm Nikkor VR zoom at f8, 1/100 sec, iso 640, 300 mm, handheld with natural light.<br>

My thanks to Ifti Ahmad and Matt Laur for their helpful suggestions of the post processing.<br>

Have a great day everyone!</p><div>00URNx-171055684.jpg.5f865f72fff7d9e822ba24128fab1cf1.jpg</div>

<p>Here is mine for this week. I took this a few years ago, hope that works. Taken from my front deck, Nikon D70s, 18-70 @ 18mm, f5.6 @ 1/125s. Interesting thing is, this storm rolled over and did nothing, no rain, thunder, lighting....nothing.</p>

<p>Thank you for looking,</p>

<p>Randy<br>

<p>Thanks to all who commented on my Ice cream truck crash. I never found out what happened. The times didn't write a story. This portrait is of my 14 year old daughter. She hates this pic. I love it because how many 14 year old girls will go fishing with Dad and love it so much. How many girls will put 2 live Cow fish on there heads and let you take her picture. Love this Thread each week. Great pics so far.</p><div>00UROA-171059584.thumb.jpg.ef1b6e972efb2591bf192b9a7f9e1c83.jpg</div>

<p>Mission Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, California. F4, Nikkor 28mm 1:2.8D, Provia 100. Transparency scanned on a PrimeFilm 3650u (color as scanned) reduced to this size (with no other alteration) in Fireworks. Turn right at the corner to the right of the church and there is the Mission. The two buildings are situated at ninety degrees to each other on a little square on a little hill in this an-interesting-shot-every-minute-of-your-walk town. </p>
