Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #17

[abib_b]

<p>Good Morning all. I'm the one pushing hard on the swing so my hit-rate on these shots is very low: probably 2%-5%. Here is one of the better ones from a short while ago.</p>

<p>Hello Everyone..<br>

Thanks a lot to those who commented on my photo last week. To be honest, I wasn't satisfied with the photo as I had blown highlights and should have used a ND grad as it was in my bag but I thought better.</p>

<p>Anyway, I was up in Northumberland last weekend and went around the coast taking pictures of the castles, beaches and the sea. The weather wasn't on my side but I managed to get a few decent shots nonetheless. This one is at Bamburgh Castle.</p><div></div>

<p>Traveling in India with the cams is so much fun. This is a late evening 5 shot HDR of the Bhavani river in the south western green state of Kerala. One of the popular tiger and elephant reserve. <br>

D200 the camera. 24-85 2.8-4 the lens, ISO 200, f6.3 @ 1/160s avg. </p>

<p>Good Photo Wednesday, everybody ! Until now, my preferences go to Sanford, Greg, Eric, Matthew and Anish. This week my contribution comes from the beautiful city of Sidi Bou Said, in Tunisia.<br>

It was taken with my D80, with NIKKOR VR 18-200, at 42mm, F/8; 1/250, ISO 100.</p><div></div>

<p>I spent a little time down at the beach this weekend. My first time down didn't offer me much - the sky was cloudless, the people weren't being photographically interesting enough. :-) But on my second day I got a few shots that I liked. This is one of them.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Everybody,<br>

thank you very much for the kind comments on my photo last week. <br>

This week something a bit older, taken at the wedding 2 weeks ago, I loved this chandelier and I had to photograph it. The colours were even more vivid in a real life. <br>

Taken with D700, 85mm, f/1.8@ ISO 400, 1/2000s, f/2<br>

Have a lovely week. </p><div></div>

<p>Mine is not a gem, but it's been taken with a gem... Two weeks ago, I received an AiS 35 f/1.4 which I won in eBay, and last week I've been playing with it a lot - it is a gem, and it is a constant reminder I have to work better on my focussing skills.<br /> So, a nightly shot from my window:</p>

<p><img src="http://www.ww-web.nl/Images/wednesday/20100426_184wed.JPG" alt="" /><br /> Nikon D300 - 35 f/1.4<br /> 1/100th, f/1.4, ISO400</p>

<p>Thanks for the responses on my picture last week - I had no time to get back on last week's thread to say a proper thanks there!</p>

<p>Good morning from Wales. A shot taken on Monday in a local gorge, involving only a little trespassing. D700, 35-70 2.8, 3 stop ND and 2 stop soft ND grad, needs more work in post. A bit different from some of the excellent stuff above, but I hope in the spirit of wednesdays.</p><div></div>

[eric_arnold]

<p>ok here we go, recent pic</p><div></div>

[jan_ignatius]

<p>I recently returned from a trip to Bangkok (which got extended quite a bit due to the ash clouds over Europe) and I'm still in the process of going through my photos, but here's a shot of the city at dusk from the State Tower's sky bar. </p><div></div>

[danielhinckley]

<p>My first contribution here at photo.net. Hope it flies :) Finally got a decent shot of resident warbler on Monday. D300 + 80-400mm@400mm, f/8, AF, spot metering, VR off on unlocked tripod.</p><div></div>

[jensvind]

<p>Took this on monday in the forrest.</p>

<p >15 degrees C, <br />sun and the beech wood ground covered with white anemones.</p><div></div>

<p> Hi everyone this is my beutiful daughter Yaretzi</p><div></div>

[Dieter Schaefer]

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone - and many thanks to all who commented on my image last week, very much appreciated.<br>

So far, these images caught my eye:<br>

Tiffany Brook - she looks like a handful; gorgeous portrait<br>

Dave Lee - excellent capture of that B-17<br>

John Farrar - very interesting shot, like the eddy in the background<br>

This weeks contribution was taken about three weeks ago, currently don't have time to go out and shoot. </p><div></div>

[p_watson]

<p>One of my favourite buggy walks with camera in hand--I missed an amazing sunset made better by the Volcanic ash a week ago but revisited an old pic I took some time ago near the same spot --sometimes old pics seem new again!</p><div></div>

[aguinaldo_de_paula]

<p>This was taken in the city of Sintra, Portugal.<br>

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

[juhofoto]

<p>Happy wednesday to everyone.<br>

This weeks photos seems to be even greater again.<br>

Here's my contribution:<br>

Taken with D200 and some editing with PS since I had the crappy kit lens without large aperture!<br /> <img src="http://www.elisanet.fi/juhofoto/photo/foot.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="413" /></p>

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

<p>As always nice variety of images around the world. Thanks to Wayne E, Doug R, Steven F, Greg K, Janne K, Lil J for liking my Kiwi fruit image and commenting on.</p>

<p>This week's contribution is from past weekend at Boston Children's Museum. Weather was nice and little cool during night time, but was fun. This is handheld picture taken at 1/10 shutter speed at ISO 1600. It's quite sharp picture when I viewed on screen with 100%, obviously after applying noise removal software.</p>

<p>Nikon D90<br>

Tamron 17-50mm<br>

Exposure Time = 1/10"<br />F Number = F4<br />ISO = 1600<br>

<p>Good Morning!<br>

Switching gears from spring to the fun I have been having with a new Micro Nikkor 105 mm VR on my D300. This guy was at an animal preserve in the Everglades. Taken at f4, 1/1000 sec, iso 200.<br>

Have a good week!<br>

<p>9 yr old Labradoodle. Early in the advent of the breed, and far ahead of the recent Hollywood Marley, this Marley won't tolerate more than say 25 shots at any one session. D90/85mm f1.4 @ f1.7, 1/250s, Auto WB, ISO 500<br>

<p>Happy W-Day! Great work once again, my faves so far are <strong>Rich Armstrong, Tiffany and P Watson</strong>.....</p>

<p>Not much from me this week, though.... I need a vacation :)</p><div></div>

[r1a2d3ok]

<p>Great start this morning. I bought another old lens on Sat. I was out looking for anything to shoot with my new lens. It was very windy out. Doing macro shots when its windy really adds to the challenge. Love these old manual focus lenses. I like how this dragonfly smiled for his portrait. Nikon D3, Nikon Micro 105 2.8, 1/60 sec, f/4, 105mm, ISO 100, Sb800 flash with diffuser mounted on mono pod, Hand held.</p><div></div>
