Taken through my office window at downtown Minneapolis just before leaving work.<br /> Nikon D200 with 18-200mm VRII - f/16, 13 seconds ISO200. Cropped.</p>

<p>I've been admiring Nikon Wednesdays for a while and this is my first post – but first, some responses to all of your wonderful photos:<br>

<br /> Ken Yamamoto – love the angle! Makes me laugh.<br /> Lawrence Ho – That's one snarky looking seagull – nice capture.<br /> James Kazan – Beautiful Composition. My favorite today.<br /> Steve Hughes – Breath taking!<br>

<br /> Took mine at a new monument at the University of Washington honoring Medal of Honor recipients<br>

<p><strong>Bernard</strong> : I missed your response to my image the first time around. Thanks for you kind words.<br>

<strong>James K</strong> : You have SOME way of taking architechtural pictures. The buildings flow in your images. Awesome!</p>

<p>Earlier in the year whilst spotting by the approach at our international airport, I noticed this four member family strolling hand in hand by the beach. Trouble was, they were in the forbidden zone just before the runway threshold, and both ends of that section of beach have barbed wire and 'danger- entrance forbidden' signs. As the inbound flight from Heathrow was due in I saw a rare opportunity for a photo. They carried on regardless and totally oblivious to this mamoth aircraft screaming in over their heads. I was secretly hoping the downwash would lift them into the air, like what happened in this movie I saw, for a more interesting photo.<br /><br /><a href="http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr327/eurocypria/a330.jpg">http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr327/eurocypria/a330.jpg</a><br>

Very fast moving scene so the <strong>D700 was on 1/4000 sec, iso 800, f/9</strong>.<br />Aguilnaldo, nice sky, did you illuminate the person by flash ?<br />Jeannean, how do you get those bugs to cooperate without flying away for those super photos ?<br />Steve H, I hope u had the camera secured well ! That slipstream can whip it out of your hands at the blink of eye and the pilot wouldn't appreciate a D300 smashing onto his head at 100 mph ! Is it a Boeing Stearman ? At which focal length of the 17-55 mm did you take it ?</p>

<p>sorry, the links aren't right today, <img src="http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr327/eurocypria/a330.jpg" alt="" /></p>

[lawrence_ho]

<p>Thanks, James. I was surprised how unfazed that seagull was when I sneaked up to her.<br>

Anguinaldo, please keep those star gazing photos coming 8><br>

Andrew, that is a nice capture of the plane flying over those strolling people. That reminds me of the scenes of planes landing the old Hong Kong airport .... Kai Tak Airport. Despite the deafening noise hundreds of meters above, people would get on their lives undaunted. It was an amazingly contrasting scene. Too bad I was not into photography back then (but I am sure you can find some nice photos on internet) 8<</p>

<p>This is not the picture that will pave my way into National Geographic, but it is among the first that I have taken with my new Sigma 150-500. Hmmmm - Bird photography is much more difficult than I first thought! Specimen - sorry, no idea! ;)</p>

<p>Anyhow, it is my contribution this week!</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>Once again another enjoyable Nikon WedNEsDAy! Shots that caught my eye this week are:<br>

Jose- a dead fly never looked so good.<br>

Hamish and Jens- Love the expressions on the kids faces. So Cute! These are definitely my favorites this week.<br>

Aquinaldo- You worked hard to be in the right place at the right time, and then captured such wonderful images. Keep them coming for as long as you like!!<br>

Lil- The colors and sharpness are wonderful. Nice Shot<br>

Richard- Beautiful reflection. Love the balance.<br>

Greg- I crack up every time I see another of your bird pictures.<br>

Matt- I looked high and low and still can't find the puppy hiding in the shot! ;-) Nice work.<br>

Richard- Love Boston and enjoyed seeing your shot. Nice work on the HDR.<br>

Jeannean- Love the colors. Such a bright fun shot.<br>

Jame- Your abstracts/architecture shots are truly inspiring!!<br>

Zoltan- Very nice capture of a truly iconic bridge. <br>

Waldemar- I love the look of this shot. So simple but yet to me it really evokes such a feeling of experiencing autumn.<br>

<p>Congratulations <strong>Per-Christian Nilssen</strong> for your new lens!<br>

I also have this lens in my wish list, but it will be for next year.<br>

How comfortable is in handheld pics?</p>

[pcnilssen]

<p>Thank you, Alejandro.<br>

I got the lens on Tuesday, and this was my first day out with it, actually just 15min of free time on a business trip, on a rainy, grey day, so I must come back to you with my impressions a little bit later, when I have had the possibility of trying it a bit more. The first impression, however, is that it balances nicely in the hand with a D300 and a MB-D10.</p>

[jeannean_.]

<p>From Jose's dead fly to Per Christian's bird photo with his new lens (congrats!), I enjoyed each and every contribution. The variety, talent, stories, places, people, etc. makes for a very interesting and fun trip around the world, and is one of the things that makes this thread so special and inspiring. I also appreciate the comments on my photo, and to answer your question Andrew, they don't stay still for long. Having patience, a longer lens, and finding them when they are eating or otherwise distracted, helps. Some cooperate better than others, so a lot of times it's just plain luck. Hope everyone has a good rest of the week and has the opportunity to take some photos. I'm already looking forward to my trip next Wednesday!</p>

[aguinaldo_de_paula]

<p>Andrew Feldon, I used a maglite flashlight to illuminate my son in law gazing the stars. Thanks for asking;<br>

Greg Kowalczewski, Tiffany Brook, John Morris, Lawrence Ho and Paul V. Gorky: thank you very much for your kind words. You´re the best.</p>

[hughes]

<p>Andrew<br>

yes I had the the strap round my neck, it is a Stearman from 1942 a trainer for Air Force pilots, it actually was only doing about 75 mph I think it would struggle to get to 100, I shot the picture at 17mm stuck the camera over my shoulder and hoped for the best I only took three shots so I was pretty lucky, I think this Wednesday pic idea is great fun, other forums should do the same....<br>

WoW I can't believe it - I've done it again. Commented on almost every post. Blame the nasty headache - I can't think & am on autopilot....<br>

Please - remember that I feel every shot in this thread has something to offer. :-)<br>
