<p>Good Morning:<br /> <br /> Last Sunday after our first snow, I caught this Eastern Bluebird perched near our birdfeeder. This shot was taken through a window and I didn't have time to reduce the ISO to a lower value for fear he'd fly off. Consequently I had to apply some noise reduction using NeatImage.<br /> <br /> Harvey</p><div></div>

<p>Happy WedNesDAy!<br>

I want to thank everyone for their kind comments last week. This week my photo was a quick grab from the car while driving home from work this week. Because of traffic, I couldn't take more than one quick shot.<br>

<p>In keeping with the "something different from me" theme, I decided to post this photo taken early Saturday morning of ICE. First freeze we've had in a couple of years and ice covered pretty much everything. This is a 1:1 macro shot of a red bougainvillea flower (actually the center and one petal). Wish I was better at photo stacking, since DOF is so narrow, but you get the idea. Temps were 32 Sat morning and by Sunday, back to mid/upper 70's, which is more normal for our area (south Texas). The bougainvillea is now an ugly dead maroon color, but it'll be back before too long. Taken with D90/Sigma 150. 1/200/5.6/ISO 200 (not the best setting...but was still half asleep :)</p>

<p>Monika, no, I'm not laughing about your photo! Your shot is fabulous!! I was laughing at Jose's comment about René getting a motorbike as compensation for his damaged TC. He damaged it a few weeks ago while taking a photo for the WedNEsDAy thread, so he insisted that Jose (or photo.net) should replace it for him... Quite funny I thought :-)</p>

<p><strong>Igor Smirnoff...</strong> Yes! All the kids walk to school and back home alone since the 1st grade (age 6). But the girl in your shot is NOT a kindergardener! She is already in elementary school (1st to 6th grade) The yellow umbrella and a yellow rain cover of the backpack (Which she is not carrying now) ndicates she is an elementary school student. Also the back pack is made of leather and they use only one from 1st grade to the 6th. It cost as much as a good Nikon lens</p>

<p>Hamish, my remark was just one with a raised eyebrow... :-))) With all these postings, nobody knows where the reference is, it seems. But I do agree with the TC situation - can I claim something too, just in case? *innocentlook*</p>

<p>Good Morning WedNEsDAy :)</p>

<p>Here is my contribution from Thanksgiving Five Mile Race. It was cold Thanksgiving morning, everyone was wearing jackets/sweatshirt etc... and this kid was different. I liked the expression on his face and this picture is from almost at the end of the race.</p>

<p>Model: <em>NIKON D90</em> <br /> ISO: <em>200</em> <br /> Exposure: <em>1/160 sec</em> <br /> Aperture: <em>6.3</em> <br /> Focal Length: <em>105m</em></p>

<p>Thanks,<br>

<p>Is it so surprising that kids go to school and back home alone??? I was so used to it and was surprised to find it a "crime" to leave kids alone in US, though :-)<br>

Anyhow, great shots everyone. I don't have one to enter this week, so just browsing... Will make comments later this week.</p>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

first I would like to thank Tiffany, Walter and Wouter for your very kind words on my photo last week.<br>

This week looking great, I have to say, that Monika Epsefass' photo is outstanding and Jeannean Buglady charmed me with the delicate flower, that looks like it's been coated in sugar. <br>

I took mine late afternoon today (I always leave everything to the last minute) we have a spring here in Australia, so everything is in full bloom, I rather liked the red flowers on this tree, as the colours are pretty much Christmassy, although 40 degrees heat doesn't fit my idea of Christmas at all. <br>

<p>Wednesday's without a contribution to this thread makes me feel guilty in ??? I do not know what. So here is my contribution, took i only about an hour ago in a nearby forrest.<br>

<p>Good morning to all. Great pictures so far. Looks very cold in most of the pics. Its still very warm here in Florida. This poor Pelican caught my eye as he walked down the dock last week. He was staggering like a drunk sailor. Then I noticed he has fishing line wrapped around his foot and his foot looked broken and deformed. We have such a problem with the birds getting tied up in old fishing line here. My favorite so far is Harvey's Bluebird perched in the snow. Nikon D3, Nikkor 80-400 VR F/4.5, 340mm, f/5.6,1/2000s, ISO 400</p><div></div>

<p>Coming out from the new terminal building at Larnaca International on Sunday, I stood admiring the glass fronted building facade, and took a couple of photos. The light variation between the building interior, the pavement under the spotlights, and the outside was quite substantial so I opted for a 7 exposure bracket to even things out. This is how it turned out for a first attempt at the method. <strong>The D700 was on iso 1600, 1/30 sec, 17mm on the Sigma 17-35mm. </strong> Aperture, I found out afterwards was varying between f/13 to f/2.8, which I realise is wrong, because I thought I had it set to vary the shutter speed, but I had the exposure on shutter priority instead of aperture priority or manual. <img src="http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr327/eurocypria/building2-web.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>A snowy afternoon this weekend, some hats and a few old scarves came together to provide my wife and I a little photographic amusement. The camera is a D100 set to manual exposure, Auto ISO = off, and ISO was set to 200. Auto focus is used. The lights are a pair of Alien Bees: a 2' x 3' softbox to camera right, and a 36" gold umbrella to camera left. I tried to set umbrella 2 stops lower than the main light to add a little drama to the scene. Exposure at 1/60 and F16 was determined by a Sekonic light meter. A PC synch cord was attached to the camera with an AS-15 Hot shoe adapter. The built-in speedlight remained closed. I used the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 AF (pre "D" model) because I wanted to see if it was really as sharp a lens as many report. I think it does fine, although I did lose several images due to camera movement. The image here was cropped slightly, a small bit of sharpening to the eyes and hair, and a little touching up for some minor skin blemishes. The exposure and contrast are as shot.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi everyone.<br>

Thanks to Paul V Gorky for last weeks comments.<br>

Jana Hughes - my favourite at this point. Rich vibrant colours. Really nice.<br>

Jeannean Buglady - also very nice shot and effect.<br>

In cricket getting bowled is never good but getting bowled leg stump is even worse because the batsman's pads should always be in the way.</p>

<p>Hello Everyone,<br>

Thanks to those who enjoyed my image last week. I did not get out shooting except yesterday to continue my project, But that I am not allowed to share. So this image was from last week too. This was also taken the same day as my sunset Woodstork. This one has just a little croping to rid a few nasty sensor spots. I think I would call this one 'hey what is that" as I must have caught his eye. </p><div></div>
