Kent Shafer Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>It's an American bowling tradition to award turkeys for high scores at Thanksgiving. This is the one I won this week.</p> <p>Coolpix L19, closeup mode. Two versions processed in ACR, one with snappy contrast for the turkey and the other with heavy fill light (and noise redution) for the background. Combined in CS4 using a mask.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick_larkin Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>My eldest son played in an All Stars soccer tournament this past weekend. Lo and behold, they won it. Shot 1000+ photos last weekend (a lot for me). so this week's subject matter was a no-brainer. He's the Steelers fan. Most of the time I used a D300 & Nikkor 80-200mm f2.8D. I also had a D700 w/ 17-35mm too. It was a great weekend for the family.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thadley Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p><img src="../photo/10232559" alt="" /> This was taken at the end of September on my road trip to Waterton Lake national park of canada. This was always a dream of mine to visit this location and while I knew approximately what to expect, i was not expecting to find these beautiful stones in one place. Taken with my D300 with the Sigma 10-20mm. A quote from the park official site: "Rugged, windswept mountains rise abruptly out of gentle prairie grassland in spectacular Waterton Lakes National Park. Here, several different ecological regions meet and interact in a landscape shaped by wind, fire, flooding, and abundant plants and wildlife. The park helps protect the unique and unusually diverse physical, biological and cultural resources found in the Crown of the Continent: one of the narrowest places in the Rocky Mountains. The highlight of Waterton's sparkling chain of lakes is the international Upper Waterton Lake, the deepest lake in the Canadian Rockies. In 1932, the park was joined with Montana's Glacier National Park to form the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park - a world first".</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_mandell Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>Lost my buddy Pip Squeek several hours after last Wednesday's thread post. We rescued him from under a house trailer after his mother was killed, and raised him on milk replacer and love. Two years ago we almost lost him to a heart failure, but pulled him through even though he was only given 6 more months. A cat with a bad heart who would play "fetch" for hours and gently wake me up in the morning for breakfast, I somehow believed that the vet was wrong, and that Pip would beat the odds. Last week his 9-year old bad heart just wouldn't go any further. </p> <p>Ah, the curse of a long life, you have to bury your loved ones and friends.</p> <p>D700, 105G f/2.8 in program mode, ISO 1000, hand-held, with available light.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_spencer3 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>This is a "found" photograph as in found in a box that has been stored away for several decades. It was taken on a 1969 cross country trip from Rhode Island to California. We stopped for sightseeing in NYC and this image was taken on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. My wife is wearing the Nikormat around her neck so I am using the Nikon F with Plus-X b&w film to make this image. I usually had two cameras with me, one for color slides and one for B&W. Both cameras probably had the 50mm 1.4 lens which were my usual "walking around" lens. The negative was scanned with an LS4000. I tried both the greyscale and the color negative modes, but this version is from the greyscale. The grain is very pronounced but seemed worse in the color negative mode. The day was very overcast so I can only estimate a shutter of speed of around 1/30th and probably nearly wide open on the 50mm 1.4 lens.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanappa Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>I normally don't post heavily PSd images, but sometimes think the stylized result can capture the feel of the scene better than the attempt at "unchanged" capture. Missed posting this last week due to travel times, but this is one of Beijing's recent snows, at least one of which was helped along by government intervention, rather than relying on Mother Nature.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rarmstrong Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>I have to say that there are some very inspiring images today, so far. A few things that struck me this morning while having some coffee and scrolling through the current offerings...<br> I must congratulate Shun on the beautiful image that he captured with the 18-200mm VR zoom from a zodiac in Antarctica. After all of the ups and downs and conversations that this lens has generated here, it makes me smile to see it used well by Shun.<br> I'm very impressed with the quality of the images that Matt Laur is getting from the new Sigma 50mm, f1.4 HSM. But, I wouldn't expect anything but quality images from Matt.<br> I noticed that Gary McGhee is successfully transitioning his signature long exposure images of water from the D200/Sigma10-20 combo to the D700/nikkor 18-35. As always, excellent.<br> Monika's simple island beauty is stunning, as is Ben's marvelous B&W shot that is so serene.<br> There are so many more, But I just wanted to take a moment here to thank Jose, Shun and Lex as well as all of the participants in this forum.<br> For all of us who will be celebrating Thanksgiving here in the US tomorrow, and for the rest of you around the world, I'm thankful that we have this place to share a small bit of ourselves with each other and to celebrate the joy of being human together with our art.<br> I hope you all have a warm healthy day with your loved ones, tomorrow and in the days ahead.<br> Dick</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter Schaefer Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>Happy Wednesday everyone. Images that caught my eye today are <strong>Erik</strong> 's Laos model, <strong>Matt</strong> 's Marylander portrait, <strong>Richard</strong> 's nuthatch, and <strong>Louis</strong> ' tribal leader.<br /> Created the following image on Sunday, the graphic elements and the monochrome color caught my attention. Obviously taken with the sun very low in the sky, a few minutes before sundown. D300 with 80-400/4.5-5.6 VR at 400mm, 1/800s, f/5.6, ISO400.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamie_mahoney Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>In my continuing effort to produce quality photos right out of my camera with little or no post, I took my D90 to Universal Studios Orlando a few weeks ago, with a custom Picture Control. What I like about my current setting is I get rich colors and good skin tones.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade_roth Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 <p>Thanks for posting everyone.<br> The wife's alarm clock quit working the other day. I found the cause. The original electrician never tightened the terminal screw so it's been arching for 25+ years. So that's how electrical fires start.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
