<p>Well, hello! Wednesday again, great! And what impossibly fantastic pictures!</p>

<p>I've just returned from Bella Italia, surviving nightly thunderstorms and loads of rain. Never mind, some good hours came along, too. Here's one from Sorrento - curiosity killed the cat...</p>

<p>Hello Everyone,<br>

Did not have much time to shoot this week, huge visits from the Corp Office. But who cares about that? This was taken a last week; I could not decide between this one and one of the iguana that was right in front of our door. But as I resized the iguana it lost everything I loved about the shot. His sharp scaly skin. I also have no where to link a larger size to so. Here is one of an Great Egret, feeding on a Mosquito fish caught while hunting in the spatterdock covered water. Anyone know a good web guy/gal? :)</p><div></div>

<p>I was doing a shoot of a 2 yr old by a garden and happened to catch some butterflies. I took this with my D90 and the Tamron 70-200mm while I had it for the week or so. Super sharp, but as is well known the autofocus system was HORRIBLE. It was worse than advertised.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Everyone. This past week I decide to raid my fathers closet and "confiscated" three old 70's vintage Nikon lenses. So off I went to play with my ill gotten loot. Today's posting is of a Nasturtium flower from my back deck. Nikon D80, Micro Nikkor P Auto 55mm F3.5, 1/20s, iso 200. I find shooting macro is soooooo much fun. The things you get to see. I will be back later to comment.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken in Chicago Sunday. I am hoping that the windy city gets the Summer Olympics bid in 2016 because Milwaukee is only an hour away. Come on Obama, do your thing this week and get the bid wrapped up nice and tight for your home town. I plan on inviting photographers from all over the world to stay at my house if that happens.</p><div></div>

<p><strong>EXCELLENT!!!!! </strong><br>

While looking at your work, I'm enjoying an afternoon beer with great bread and fabulous cheese! </p>

<p><strong>Per…</strong> Turning pro?? Me?? no way! BTW, when you are homeless, hungry and have kids to feed, any fraction would do! Uhmmm! scary!</p>

<p><strong>Luis…</strong> Who was playing? Who won? final score?</p>

<p><strong>Dieter….</strong> Thanks! I took that shot with picture control on "vivid" then I cracked up the saturation a notch!</p>

<p><strong>Gary…</strong> It was really peaceful! 4:30 am I think. I didn't know my window was facing the lake so I was really surprised when I saw it in the morning!</p>

<p><strong>Murali…</strong> I think you are referring to me! So Thank you!</p>

<p><strong>Tim…</strong> Great and thanks in advance! Just let me know when! :) If it isn't too much to ask, please send me the ticket too! :)</p>

<p>By the way...<br>

Jeannean Ryman, Joseph Leotta, Lil Judd and Roberta Davidson, thank you for your comments on my last week's post. That's very kind of you. Thanks again...</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday to all, lots of great images already this week! Shifting gears a little this week :). Instead of a car shot this week, it's a----motorcycle shot. Hope you like it, John D. D200, <a href="mailto:18-55@46mm">18-55@46mm</a>, 1/125, f8, iso 200, mimimal pp in NX2.</p><div></div>

<p > Chama, New Mexico</p>

<p >The <strong>Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad</strong> , station is in the center of town on Hwy 17, one of the main attractions of the town. The narrow-gauge railroad runs into the high country near <strong>Cumbres</strong> <strong> Pass</strong> , through scenic Toltec Gorge, and on to its opposite terminus at tiny <a title="Antonito" href="http://wikitravel.org/wiki/en/index.php?title=Antonito&action=edit" title="Antonito">Antonito</a> , <a title="Colorado" href="http://wikitravel.org/en/Colorado" title="Colorado">Colorado</a> . Built in 1880 and little changed since, the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is the most spectacular example of steam era mountain railroading in North America.</p>

<p >I was fortunate to be at the right place at the right time. I “chased” this train taking pictures for several miles. I captured this image with a Nikon D70, 18-70mm lens. Exposure was f11 @ 1/125 second, ISO 200. Thanks for looking and thanks for all the comments I got last week.</p><div></div>

<p>Great , great shots today. I went to a very small American Indian Exhibition this weekend. There was one lady doing painting on leather she tans herself using the animals brains ( old traditional way, or so she said).<br>

From the shells holding the paints made from earth pods, to the birch branches for the brushes, all wonders from nature. The red table cloth on the other hand, well I had a hard time with that. Any suggestions on how to deal with that type of back ground would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Some very nice work here today, as always. This shot is from my daughter's high school graduation party in June - her friend came dressed in pirate motif, much to his young friend's delight.</p>

<p>Tim, if that happens I'll take you up on your offer!</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning everyone. Took this pic while wondering around the zoo a few days ago.</p><div></div>
