Nikon WedNEsDAy PiC 2010: #4

ceesmaas · January 28, 2010

Good morning,

FWIW:

My own favourites in this weeks (very nice) series - the ones that really touched me:

- Richard Abston

- Oskar Ojala

- Monika Epsefass

- Andrew Fedon

- Dubravko Grakalic

- Hayley Karl

If I had to choose a number 1, that would undoubtedly be The Granny from Hayley. The power and the energy of that portrait are enormous. With The Snowflake from Oskar and The Airbus from Andrew on an shared honourable second place.

Good light,

Cees

"... undoubtedly be The Granny from Hayley... "

One of my favourites too. And I love that term, "listening to the universe".

For those who are new to photo.net and/or to the Wednesday threads, as Matt posted at the beginning, you can find the guidelines to the Wednesday image threads here: <a href="http://static.photo.net/attachments/bboard/00T/00TXZt-140227584.jpg">http://static.photo.net/attachments/bboard/00T/00TXZt-140227584.jpg</a>

And you can find photo.net's general Community Guidelines here: <a href="../info/guidelines">http://www.photo.net/info/guidelines/</a>

<ul>

<li>The Community Guidelines specify that attached images should be within 100K bytes, but since a lot of members who post to this thread would like to include larger files, we feel that 300K is fine.</li>

<li>Each member should post no more than one image per week.</li>

<li>And please don't post the same image week after week.</li>

<li>Since this forum is read by a lot of different people around the world, including children, please make sure that your image is suitable for all audiences. I am glad that this really hasn't been an issue so far, but please keep it that way.</li>

<li>If you make a mistake or your image does not load, please repost with all your text. It is rather straight forward for moderators like me to delete the entire incorrect posts. It is a lot more work for us if we need to transfer your text from one post to another.</li>

</ul>

Matt is drafting an improved version of the guidelines. When that is ready, we'll share it with everybody.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Awesome shots everyone! I just received my D90 so maybe I can get some shots over the weekend.

Wouter Willemse · January 29, 2010

Another wonderful collection, thanks to all!

For a few reasons I have not been making any photos for a few weeks, so nothing to post here. So only a few photos that stand out for me.

Glad to see Cees Maas is back...! I was missing the typical Southern Netherlands photos. I'm from that region, and it's nice to see home here, and usually captured so well!

Peng Wichakool, lovely simple winterscene, very effective.

Monika Epsefass, great capture, you can almost hear the understanding silence between them.

Tim Holte, I love this photo. The (very?) dense fog, it gives lovely mysterious mood, and the red umbrella tops it off perfectly.

Ertugrul Kilic, quite different from your "usual" posted photos, but just as "wow"!

Hope to be back with some own production next week!

ray_rg · January 29, 2010

Tiffany, Roberta: Thank You for commenting on my portrait photo. It was fun with strobes, initially I though it would be easy just click-click but later with the help of experience photographer realized that model's expression and their pose is more important.

Ray

jeannean_. · January 29, 2010

Thank you all for sharing your photos! I really love all the diversity, styles, and stories. Also, thank you to those who commented on my Roadunner photo, and to Roberta for taking the time to comment on all the photos. It's appreciated by many. :)

Steve H (and anyone else wondering), they don't actually make the "beep, beep" sound. That was recorded by Paul Julian and are the only "words" ever spoken in the cartoon. They coo more like a dove does. Looking forward to next Wednesday's trip around the world!

pete_raw1 · January 29, 2010

Love the Kickboxer portait!

Here is my contribution, I am doing some shoots for a DJ friend that needs some photos for promotional purposes.

ken_i_h · January 29, 2010

It is always a tremendous fun to see all those photos from around the world. Not only like a fun trip around the world but also very inspiring pile of examples to learn from. Also, it is really an honor to get any comment. Thank you, Roberta!

See you next week - I have hurt my back this week and I may not be able to walk around with heavy equipment bag this weekend, though..... The problem was and still is my neck and now the lower back, too? Sigh....

Ken

pvg photography · January 29, 2010

Another Wednesday has come and gone and once again, some truly inspiring work. Those that caught my eye this week are:\

Narayan- Great job on the IR! It is SO wintry looking.

Jennifer - Your efforts to get up an going at 2am, certainly paid off. Beautifully composed.

Hamish- Your image looks so warm and inviting, especially knowing the temperature is anything but!

Oskar- BEAUTIFUL snowflake!! I have always wanted to try getting a photo of a snowflake, maybe this will be the inspiration for me to do it.

Tim- I love it. What an evocative capture. Of course the red umbrella really makes the shot pop.

Roberta - WOW, what a beautiful shot. Far and away my favorite for this week. Well done!

Janne - Good eye.............beautiful abstract capture!

Ertugrul - Nicely done. Part of me wants to crop the shot but then I look again and realize that the "white space" really makes it work.

Tiffany - What a fun shot. Your title really helps bring it to life.

Paul

birdied · January 30, 2010

Paul, thank you very much.

mbh · January 30, 2010

I was slow in posting this week. This does mean I have the pleasure of enjoying a prodigiously lovely Wednesday collection of photographs. The first photograph that caught my eye was Narayan Kovvali’s infrared winter scene with those lovely trees and that awe-inspiring swirling sky. I liked both Rene' Villela’s amber-trapped bee and his story; I’ve done the same thing with yuan.

Jana Hughe’s lolipop made me smile. Those colors form such a wonderful abstract. Paula Wang’s lovely little bird also captured my attention; her lenses create such beautiful out of focus backgrounds, her photographs are a delight.

Epp B’s after the blizzard shot definitely works, the sun and icy snow work together to create such a delightful nature scene. I also got a kick out of Juho Niva’s daughter; perhaps, because I recognize that expression from seeing it far too often on my own daughter’s face. And I got a kick out of Tony Hadley’s own snow scene, which really looks like something I’d buy in a shop to send home with a scribbled note about how beautiful it is here.

Speaking of winter shots, Jose Angel’s frozen leaves tickled my fancy: quite beautiful. So many beautiful bird shots and then we have a cat in a bag by Paul V. Gorky, very cute. Tim Holt’s might have been my favorite this week, that red umbrella.

I also quite liked Doug Santo’s shot of the First Lutheran Church, the wide angle worked great there. And so many, many more great shots.

oskar_ojala · January 30, 2010

Juhani, Filip, Cees, Juho, Gej, Roberta, Paul -- thank you for your kind comments! I much appreciate the feedback.

janahughes · January 30, 2010

Thank you to all of you, who commented on my photo this week.

I find something beautiful or interesting in every photo posted here, but I don't have the time to comment on all of them (well done, Roberta, I admire your effort), so I will limit myself to just few.

Matt Laur: Fantastic picture, there is something very disturbing about exposed wires in the rain.

Rene' Villela: I love the way the insect shines in the amber.

Grant Tanner: Love the texture and the simplicity of the photo, just my kind of style.

Jennifer Meighan: Simply stunning.

Epp B: Your photo makes me homesick, the atmosphere is beautifully captured.

Jose Angel: I look and look and look. Can't get tired of this one.

Oskar Ojala: Like in a fairy tale. Perfect.

Ken Yamamoto: Great street photography. I had a go at it last week, and failed terribly. You've done it very nicely.

Tim Holte: Every week you give us a photo full of mood and feelings. How do you do it? I love it.

Peng Wichakool: A real Winter feel. The snowflakes make your photo truly stunning.

Don Harper: A rather scary scene, so full of atmosphere, I kept looking at it for a long time. One of the photos, that will stay with me.

Janne Kaakinen: Now, that is fun and beauty in one photo. Great abstract, I am a big admirer.

Ertugrul Kilic: I love your work and this is another fine example.

Tiffany Brook: Precisely the type of work I praised last week on your website. You've done a wonderful job here.

Erik Christensen: Lovely scene. What a cute little girl.

Till next Wednesday, have a great week everyone.

Jana

sebastianmoran · January 30, 2010

First, all the bird images are great to see this week. Thank you. Very nice work by all, and stimulating as usual.

I'll just mention the images and photographers who most caught my attention this week:

@Matt, the electrical wires say "Cold, wet, dreary" to me.

@Narayan, this IR image is another world. An image that looks different catches our attention, but then it has to deliver. This one delivers. Very nice.

@Jeff Lipsman, your isolated bird (Say's Phoebe) is wonderful. Nothing to disturb the connection to the subject. The bird looking back into the frame is a very nice touch.

@Jennifer Meighan, the warm sunset and cold water at York Beach.

@Dieter, the red-tailed hawk against a fabulous colored sky

@Amy, grey, grey, grey except for the traffic signal

@Paul B, wow, what a feisty little winter bird!

@Oskar, your snow flake... Very cold blue. Terrific.

@Ken Yamamoto, the street and AX storefront, nice light.

@Ray, nice studio portrait

@Murali, great shot of the MJ tribute

@John, I like the Olympon Cave photo

@Paul V. Gorky, very cute cat, very well lit and exposed. Cooperative cat you have!

@Tim Holta, the fog and red umbrella

@Janne, beautiful curves in the nice macro B&W of your lamp.

@Eric James, this whole series has been wonderful. This one is alive and scary.

@Mark Gordon, the Kickboxer is strong and dramatic.

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra · January 30, 2010

Thank you Roberta,

It's nice to be missed..... I'm still a tad "off". Maybe next week.... And yes I do know I have material to post.....

Lil :)
