<p>Gej, great shot and such a beautiful bird. Lil, is this a young blue herron ? Beautiful picture of your daughter.<br>

Richard, not sure if I can post a link to a strobist video which shows how to do these shots. It really is a lot of fun, or maybe I just need to get out more.<br>

I'll gladly post the link, it if is okay. In the meanwhile, I sent to your e-mail.</p>

<p>wow, great shots already</p><div></div>

<p><strong>Gej</strong> - where are you located? To me it looks like a Great Blue Heron (GBH to most of us), but if you're in Europe it's a Grey Heron. They look very much alike...<br>

<strong>Roberta</strong> - thank you for your kind words. She is my pride & joy .... That is one great shot & thank you for sharing with us how you did it. I have to try that as some point.</p>

<p>Thanks to those who made the generous comments on the Seattle Gasworks image, very kind.<br>

Great images last week, very much looking forward to this week, which has already gotten off to a heck of a start! <br>

Continuing the Seattle Park theme:<br>

This was the oldest Douglas Fir in the Seattle area (King county) found in the O.O. Denny Park on Lake Washington's Eastern Shore. At over 10 feet across and 475 years of age this tree really had history. The inaugural day storm of 93 snapped it quite literally in half.<br>

<p>Great shots, everybody! Matt, you photo makes me feel happy again that I escaped Washington one hour before the first big snowstorm hit Dulles. It's been raining and busy here, so I have no other models than my dog and cat. </p><div></div>

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

<p>Mr. Ronald Runaldo Venetiaan, the President of Suriname is chatting with students before they draw a Suriname flag together at The Independent Square (Onafhankelijksplein) in Paramaribo during Special <a href="http://www.caricom.org/" target="_blank">CARICOM</a> Summit on Youth Development. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and many cheers to you all. Regards,<br>

<p>Matt - nice interpretation of "grin and bear it".<br /> Gej - adult Great Blue Heron. Juveniles wouldn't have the white and black stripe on the head nor the chestnut and blue coloring on the wings. Grey Herons would show none of those colors.<br /> I was in the mood for some macro shooting and had some shallow DOF images in mind, so I grabbed my 70-180 and stacked the 5T and 6T diopters on the front. 1/30s (hand held), f/5.6, ISO 200, natural light only, WB adjusted for warmer tones</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning to all. Lil beautiful portrait of your daughter.Tiffany I love your Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf series. Lots of other great shots already.

<p>Hi,<br>

Yesterday. Brrr... Minus 6 degrees Celsius. North wind 6 Beaufort. My fingertips: all white. Had to use a remote shutter control with an extra large button to operate my Nikon. Location: a very small railwaystation in the south of Holland. My display says: 1/2 second at f.8 - Click...</p><div></div>

<p>God Morning to everyone still dark here on the West Coast,<br>

this shot from last week is what happens when you park your yacht in the wrong place. There is a place outside the Santa Barbara harbor aptly named Fools Mooring, if in bad weather you break your mooring this is the result. Sadly there was no saving her and she had to be broken up and hauled away in a trash truck. <br>

<p>Wednesday again! And even the sun is shining this morning!</p>

<p>Thank you Gej and Ken for your kind comments on last week's (very lately posted) image.</p>

<p>This one is my mind booster for this week: smile, even if life is weird. My company is being restructured and I don't know whether I'll stay or go. Oh well. This year has been forecasted to bring loads of changes for me...</p>

<p><img src="../photo/10655897" alt="" /> Great shots as usual - I did not shoot anything current - I've got the winter blues so I submitted an image taken in the Fall in Whittier harbor in Alaska.</p><div></div>

[aguinaldo_de_paula]

<p>This one was taken some time ago, in a Easter sunday morning in New York.<br>

Thank you for viewing.</p><div></div>

[andy_chubb]

<p>Wow - some folks have had an early start to Wednesday. Thanks for starting it off Matt. Tiffany - did you hire the wolf from the same place as the winner of the Wildlife Photographer of teh year.......? Lovely pix.<br>

My contribution (hope Mrs C isn't looking at this before Sunday) is inspired by an article in the March 2010 edition of 'Digital SLR Photography' magazine.<br>
