Remember: only one image each week!</p> </blockquote> <p>Welcome to Wednesday, Nikon folks. A few hours ago (way back on Tuesday) I needed to help out with a quick ad hoc product shot. The resulting image was worked into some graphics for a display sign. From setting up two strobes and shooting to a 16x20 print at a local Costco to the finished, framed sign on the wall: just under two hours. Sometimes those quick and dirty projects can be satisfying. Any gems from you and your Nikon gear this week? Share an image!</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Boyd Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Happy Wednesday again. My contribution this week was taken in a field of wildflowers across the street from my house. I used a Nikon D80, 70-300mm lens, Aperture Priority mode, f/5.6, 1/2000. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsypkin Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Early start, and some beautiful images already! <br> Here is a golden retriever I photographed at the Asilomar Beach several days ago. (Not my golden retriever.)</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rascal64 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Happy Tuesday from Seattle!<br> Matt...very well done. Looks like a lot of things could go wrong there and the result is beautiful!</p> <p>Jeff...amazing capture...I would have to take hundreds to get one like that.</p> <p>Bill...really beautiful...the magic of Spring.</p> <p>My contribution is from a recent shoot...I got to bring in a few of my favorite models for a clothing store shoot. I love this girl. Her expressions were larger than life, so I tried to tame her a bit. I then realized that taming her would be an egregious error. I must go now..."Glee" is on...I am hooked!</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The permanent cricket nets in the background are typical of many local sports grounds around Australia. This game was played on ANZAC day (25 April 2010).

steven_ford1 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Thanks for all the comments on my water collision, and to answer Roberta Davidson, the drops are about 8-10 a second. They make a very recognizable and pleasing plop plop plop sound when they're timed right.<br> <br /> Spent a whole day at a wildlife refuge, futilely taking woefully out of range shots of osprey and herons, only to find this guy hiding in a bush at a local duck pond the next day. This particular green heron was very patient with me, allowing me to get within 10 feet of him. He probably thought all the foliage was deterrent enough (and he was right!).</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grant_tanner Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Hi everyone<br /> I was very busy this week and did not have a photo so i ran outside yesterday afternoon and took a photo of a palm trunk with the light only striking part of it. Won't be to everyone's liking but this is okay</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Well, I’m still housebound for a while I think. I’ve been plagued with horrible headaches for the last 3+ weeks & my strength is leaving me. I’m getting very tired. I don’t do much photography & not much else either. I have but moments now & then I do stuff. I always have a headache. This is now 10 years of constant headaches the doctors can’t fix.<br> <br />So, it’s again a Reversed Macro. I’m sorry, but that’s really all I have the strength for. Again, my distance to my subject is max 5cm or 2 inches. <br /><br />Shot with the D300, the amazing 50mm AiS f/1.2 Reversed, on board flash. Manual metering, f/16, 1/125s, ISO 400<br /><br />I hope you’ll enjoy.<br> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/v9/p716077511-4.jpg" alt="" /><br> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartimeus1 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Very good morning Nikon-people! This early and already so many fine images. Well, we NAS-patients come from all over the world.<br> Some quick observations:<br> Arayan - Most interesting and beautiful, also very original approach to your subject. Fine image.<br> Sanford - What a great sports-capture. Easily beats all those tight sparred usual sport-photos. :-)<br> Adam - I like this one.<br> Greg - Another great and humoristic sport-photo.<br> Tiffany - :-D Wonderfully sunny portrait!<br> Sankha - Very nice and moody image. Somehow this reminds me of Edgar Allan Poe...<br> Mikhail - An image full of pet owners joy. Lovable capture!<br> Matt - Nice work in such a hurry!</p> <p>My image was shot at last week. The spring was at good start at my part of Central-Finland when the winter suddenly returned. This was shot by a partly flooded field that the moving birds use as a landing site. Nikon D700 + Nikon 80-200mm/2.8. 1/2500s, f:4, ISO 400.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Brennan Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Back from two weeks in New Zealand. I was there mainly to capture landscapes but this little boat tied up at Moeraki on the South Island of New Zealand also took my fancy - partial de-saturation performed in PS 3.</p> <p>Nikon D700 + AF-D 85mm f/1.4 @f/2.8, 1/160th, ISO 400</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vineet.rajasekhar Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>Hi, </p> <p>My contribution this week is from a trip to the Orokonui Ecosanctuary, north of Dunedin, NZ. This is a vast, fenced off enclosure, keeping introduced predators and pests out, providing native New Zealand flora and fauna a safe environment in which to reestablish a working ecosystem. Lovely native New Zealand birds to photograph to your heart's content. </p> <p>Best regards, </p> <p>Vineet</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_burt Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 <p>It has just opened and already there are so many great photos. I will check back later in the day and look them all over.<br> This is my first ever Eagle shot. I found out about this Eagle's nest and when I went over it was misty & drizzling a little. I was taking some shots of the nest when the whole are almost turned black. I had been looking through the view finder when the mate flew back to the nest with a stick in it's grasp. I had no idea it was coming. I'll admit I was really excited as like I said this was my first.<br> I will be going over again over the weeks ahead.<br> phil b<br> benton, ky</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
