<p>This is a grab shot of a street in northern Philadelphia. I was driving through the area on a rainy/overcast day, liked what I saw, stopped the car for no more than 15 sec in the middle of the street, and shot right through the front windshield. The congestion of the houses yet lack of people (other than the postman) struck me. The other technical detail that may be interesting is that instead of my trusty old 28-70/2.8 AFS, I happened to have a little 18-200 VR FX lens mounted on my d700 FX body, so I only had about 5 Mpixels, but as you can see, at least for small enlargements, this fairly odd equipment combo works just fine.</p>

<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Tom M</p><div></div>

<p >This man insisted having a photo taken of him and his family. The latter was, however, too ordinary.</p>

<p >Photo taken on the way home with my new 85mm f/1.4 lens – absolutely not a bad lens, but one has</p>

<p >to get used to the fixed 85mm, a challenge which I am happy to face.</p><div></div>

<p>Some very excellent work on this Wednesday.</p><div></div>

<p>Was in Napa last weekend. Didn't realize how beautiful the fall colors were up there. This is a shot of my wife, a little fill flash. D50 18-200 VR, 26mm, f/8 ISO 200, 1/250s</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday and Happy Veterans day here in the states. I am going to have to take a typing class just to keep up with all the extraordinary work on this thread. All the images are strong and deserve kudos. I am only naming a few.</p>

<p>Jose..."The Beauty of Death". I actually have a folder for just that subject. There is something about using a camera to remember and validate all the life around us. beautiful shot.</p>

<p>Justin...Now, THAT'S a face!</p>

<p>Alejandro...Consistently beautiful captures. Although I would be wary of following that rainbow (>8</p>

<p>Francesco...Careful, someone might be shooting YOU!</p>

<p>Hamish...Sweet and lovely portrait</p>

<p>Michael...Beautiful light. I love the sun peeking in.</p>

<p>Joseph...Gorgeous.</p>

<p>Andy...Very nice colors and framing.</p>

<p>Aguinaldo...I never tire of the subject. In fact, I think I breathe easier just looking at these images.</p>

<p>Mark...Very nice...gel or no gel.</p>

<p>Lil...Awesome catch! Gorgeous bird.</p>

<p>Kemal...Very nice. I have always found pidgeons to be exceptionally beautiful and very under rated.</p>

<p>Elliott...Wow! Okay, now I am suffering momentary fast lens envy.</p>

<p>Richard...Well done...beauty and simplicity</p>

<p>Murali...Your shot is quite spellbinding. I have been scrutinizing it for too long and must move on...beautiful!</p>

<p>Greg...There they are again. Aha! I see that they are starlings. Very naughty, but fascinating birds.</p>

<p>Maurice...Love it! Beautiful treatment of shadows...well done.</p>

<p>Jeannkan...Great colors...looks like quite the party.</p>

<p>Epp...Beautiful and unusual</p>

<p>Janne...Very cool, indeed!</p>

<p>My contribution comes from editing a recent shoot.This particular shot just spoke to me because of her hands and dress lines. She is an inspirational little girl and I did some research to spell "My Heart" in Korean.</p><div></div>

<p>Fantastic photos - I had no idea what I was missing, having been away from PhotoNet for a few years!<br />

<p>This week's offering WAS taken on a Wednesday afternoon, about 10 miles north of Gary McGhee's shot. I chanced upon a group of paragliders when out for a walk at the very end of last month. This was a slightly chancy shot (by my standards) - into the Sun, with my eye to the viewfinder. Still, camera and right eye seem fine…<br>

(EDIT: Er, that should be D700 in the caption - I haven't really adjusted from my F80 yet!)</p>

<p>Nice soft lighting on that fly shot <strong>Jose</strong> . Great POV and processing on the dog portrait, <strong>Justin</strong> . Great action, <strong>Elliot</strong> . Excellent composition and use of B&W, <strong>Carey</strong> . Nicely done HDR, <strong>Richard</strong> . Three's indeed a crowd - what a nice macro, <strong>Jeannean</strong> .<br>

Haven't posted a bird shot for a while and haven't been out looking for them either - this is a shot from early October. That morning was very quiet too until this osprey showed up for two passes (and a little quarrel with a Northern Harrier). I am quite happy that I caught it with the mountain as a backdrop - except for a minor crop, the image is straight out-of-camera. D200 with 300/4 AF-S and TC-17EII, 1/1250s, f/6.7, ISO360 (selected by AutoISO).</p><div></div>

[Ian Rance]

<p>Out with my F3 and 35mm Series E lens I found this misty scene that caught my eye. Fuji Superia 200 as always.</p><div></div>

<p>This is a house in the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans. Completely untouched four years after Hurricane Katrina - still dishes, photos, etc strewn around. Nikon D700, 14-24/2.8 at 14mm, f/5.6, 1/160 sec and ISO 800. On-camera fill flash at -2 EV to cast a little light on the mug.</p><div></div>

[Wouter Willemse]

<p>A stunning amount of great portraits today. Very impressive - I envy those skills to "catch" somebody at the right time for sure!</p>

<p>My contribution of today is playing around in the kitchen some time back:</p>

Today is Veteran's day in the US, so this is a salute to all our Vet's. I am at work today and this

shot was taken on my way from one facility to another so I didn't have a lot of time to get a better

composition. This is the road to the New Lexington, Ohio city school facilities. Someone spent a

lot of time setting up these flags.<div></div>

[jphotog]

<p>D700, AF-S 50mm f/1.4, ISO800, f/2, 1/2500s, 14bit RAW, EV -1. Finished in NX2.</p>

<p>Forgot to reset ISO and exposure compensation.</p><div></div>

<p>Another Veteran's Day salute.</p><div></div>

<p>This week we have been busy working on the house, so I am a bit late and I see there are already some excellent pictures here. Richard Armstrong, nice, interesting reflections. I have the feeling it's an upside-down picture.<br /> I don't want to heat the discussing, but I have seen some pictures these weeks that have been compressed a little too much for me. <br /> This week I have a picture from a trip to Belgium some days ago. We walked a lot and we saw a lot of mushrooms.<br /> Here is one of the more interesting ones, no mushrooms were hurt in the making of this picture, haha.<br /> I like the lines nature created here. Taken with the D90 + 18-200mm @ 200mm F8 1/125s<br /> Keep up the good work everybody.</p><div></div>

[mbbrown]

<p>So many awesome images! I love this thread. Very inspiring!</p>

<p>Posting more low-light test images. Sorry; I just got the D700 and the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G in March and am amazed at the low-light prowess!</p>

<p>My dog, King, on his bed thinking about whatever dogs think about.</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday to all of you!</p><div></div>
