<p>I look forward to Matt's intro almost as much as I look forward to the photos presented by all.</p>

<p>Here's a shot of some of the ladies on our farm keeping a sharp lookout for the lunch I'm about to serve.</p><div></div>

<p>Holy Wednesday my dear Nikon colleagues,</p>

<p>I appreciated for Filip Lucin, Roberta Davidson, Wouter Willemse, Paul V. Gorky, Jana Hughes, Janne Kaakinen's wonderful words to my post last week. Thank you.</p>

<p>I did my homework yesterday. A poor fisherman was fixing his small boat in the city. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and many cheers to you all. Regards,</p>

<p>Here is my contribution for this week. This is a shadow of an observer of an installation at a contemporary art exihibit at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. </p><div></div>

<p>Great pictures last week everyone! Well, it's not exactly Wednesday yet here, but here goes. This shot is one I took when I was playing around with my new lens. </p><div></div>

<p>First I’d like to say thank you to Tiffany (I REALLY liked the portrait you put up last week by the way), Juho Niva, Gej, Roberta, Paul G and Joseph for taking the time to comment on my picture last week. And Joseph, in response to your question “do I ever go anywhere warm”, well there’s nowhere to go except indoors… and that’s no fun ;-)<br /><br />Lil good to see you’re back :-) Lovely shot of the mushrooms.<br /><br />Well I was sick with the flu the last half of last week, but on Sunday morning I managed to pull myself together and go for a stroll down to the fjord. It was minus 21 degrees during the night so there were lots of icy things to take pictures of. I took my 105 f2.8 VR and thought I’d do some ice-macro pics, but of all the pictures I took I liked this landscape the most. The Gulf Stream holds the sea water warmish along the entire coast of Norway and therefore whenever it’s cold in the air there are large amounts of steam that rise from the surface creating quite spectacular effects.<br /><br />D300 and 105 f2.8 VR @ 7.1 I think. ISO 200. Shot with a +1.0 EV.</p><div></div>

<p>This scene in the rain in South Carolina reminded me of the "wet look" of Velvia film.....</p><div></div>

[Matthew Brennan]

<p>Shooting small birds from the shade for me again this week. This tiny fellow is a male blue fairy wren quite common in S.E. Australia but at only 7cm long from head to tail and never sitting still for more than a couple of seconds, they are not so easy to capture in a still frame.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello everybody !. Mine was taken in a freezing , windy and coudy day , when I noticed a few ducks bathing in small eye of water who remain unfreeze. And there he was : the king of the pond..., to bad it was to far.., but I was packed : D300+ 300/2,8+TC-20E at ISO 800, 1/640, F2,8 (5,6 with TC). Even 900 mm wasn't enough , and I was forced to crop a little.</p><div></div>

<p>Morning,<br>

Beautiful (handmade?) knife, mr. Laur - Wouter: thanks for your kind words last week. My contribution: smoked fish. I think red gurnard, you call them in english. It is a common fish here at the North Sea coast in Holland, not as good as a wild salmon for smoking, but still very tasty health food. We smoke them over a mix of oak wood and beech. </p><div></div>

<p>Like Matt I have been shooting indoors because it was quite dark and miserable outside lately.<br>

<p>Happy Wednesday to all!<br>

The pics this week are great. I am trying to keep mine to pics taking in the past week which makes it difficult as it's been so grey here. Hopefully that will keep me on the lookout all the time and improve my skills. The colours in this image were great but I liked the grayscale conversion as much. </p><div></div>

[bogdan_nicolescu]

<p>I've got a cat for this Wednesday. Warm regards to all people here, great pics as always.</p><div></div>

<p>Another Wednesday and another set of nice images to admire. Thanks to everyone who commented on my image last week - very much appreciated. There are already a few pelican shots in this week's posting, so forgive me for adding another one. Pelicans sometimes do strange things and I was happy enough to capture one such instance. D300 with 300/4 AF-S and TC-17EII, 1/1250s, f/6.7, ISO 450, -2/3 EV.</p><div></div>

<p>One of my favourite locations this time of year is St Albans Cathedral. The light, ambience and architecture are a solid constant in these changing times. I went with my F80 and 50mm AF-G, however in the camera shop on the hill they had a clean 43-86mm Ai zoom, so I purchaced that and used it on my F80. Exposure 3 seconds @ f/11.</p><div></div>
