<p>Marveling at lots of images taken with 50mm f1.8 AF-D in this thread, so last weekend I gave my long neglected one an opportunity to see some light and got this flower in our campus.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Nikon shooters..<br>

Great pictures this week. I've been absent here for quite some time.. while work and travel had something to do with it, on most weeks I remembered about photo Wednesday only on the subsequent Thursday or later. I almost missed this week's posts too.<br>

Here's one from this week.<br>

Nikon D700, Nikon 20mm f/3.5 AI-(S?), ISO 1600, 1.6 sec, no tripod but tried to balance it with something. applied noise reduction, resize and sharpening.<br>

hope you enjoy it. cheers.</p><div></div>

Issac Sam, Gary McGhee, James Kazan, Aguinaldo de Paula, Phil Evans, Eddy Furlong, Steven van Heerden, Louis Meluso, Richard Armstrong. Esp. Isaac's lighting and the mood is great!<br>

cheers, A.</p>

<p>Lots of very good pic's this week, folks. Have been too busy to take photos this week (I hate to admit it - on the other hand, it is dark when I leave for word, and dark when I return), but I always look forward to this weekly world tour.</p>

<p>This week, <strong>Darren</strong>'s lovely child portrait found a special place in my heart. Keep the photos coming, guys!</p>

[pcnilssen]

<p><strong>Lil</strong>, I feel with you. Maybe you should post one of your lovely pictures of your bird?</p>

[john_wai]

<p>This was taken with my Nikon D70s and Tamron 90mm macro lens.</p><div></div>

[hamish_gray]

<p>Matthew Brennan, Jonas Fjellstedt, Gary McGhee, Peter Heritage, Tiffany Brook and Douglas Mosman: Thank you for your kind commments.<br>

@ Matthew:<br /> About the ice... we had just had a cold period that lasted about a week with temperatures around -10/-12 degrees C. That was enough to give us ice that was thick enough to drive our car on (sometimes we do that too:-)), but on this particular day the temperature had risen to 5 or 6 degrees above zero creating a paper thin layer of water on the surface. This made for fantastic, glassy skating ice. And that is why the reflection is so clear :-)</p>

<p>Thanks to Jonas, Louis, Dan and Douglas for their kind remarks. <br>

My favourite this week is the great portrait from Issac Sam with the exceptional beautiful light.</p>

<p >Same Dog, Same Day, New Hair Cut. This is Benji (my Mother’s Dog). Due to an extreme heat wave Benji needed a clip but he ended up with a complete makeover. My mother does not recognize him and the fleas are terrified. It just goes to show what a difference a haircut can make.</p>

<p >D200 with Nikon 18-200 mm VR, </p>

<p >1/100 sec @ 200 mm ISO 400 (BEFORE SHOT) and </p>
