Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #17

[monika_epsefass]

<p>Hello fellow Nikonians,<br>

the pictures today are really really great, all of them. Love it! And have missed out on last Wednesday... :(<br>

I went citywalking last weekend, looking for details. Here's one of them. Taken with D700 and 24-70 (which has become sort of my favourite...)<br>

<p>Train was derailed in Helsinki two days ago. Here they seem to be working on the damaged power line structures. I know a better picture always results from walking closer but I don't think I could have taken many steps closer before they would have picked me up ;-)</p><div></div>

<p>Abib B: I am with you. :).<br>

Lil: Thank you for kind words for my last week's pic. I am pleased and encouraged when my picture was mentioned here. Thank you all.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all,<br>

Good morning, good afternoon, goog evening and good night,<br>

<p>Thank you for the nice words on last week's photo.</p>

<p>This week there are already a lot of great pictures in the thread. I especially liked the forest pictures by Jens Frederiksen, Paul V. Gorky and Cory Ammerman, so to continue that theme (albeit at a much lower level) I dug up a outtake from ten days ago instead of my regularly scheduled concert shot. Nikon D700 at base sensitivity (ISO 200), 14-24mm/2.8, 1/100s @ f/8, RAW processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.</p><div></div>

<p>Here is mine for this week. Was taking some engagement pics for a friend of mine and here is the future husbands expression with a flower in his mouth. Great expression lasted for several pics.</p><div></div>

<p>Shooting thru a cage really stinks.<br>

I asked the zoo keeper if she'd let me in for just a sec to get a clear shot.<br>

She said "Lemme' get my camera; I might have a great pic when you go in there!" LOL<br>

I don't recommend anyone try this w/o professional guidance from the zoo keepers.</p>

<p>Almost the end of wednesday, and haven't had time to scan much from rolls I got back today, but here's a bit of early spring from Vermont. I just liked the way the light hit the water - or rather how the light hit the rock through the water.</p><div></div>

<p>Wow! I almost missed this week.... <br>

Great images this week again...... I will take a look at them and read everything after a break....<br>

Thank you to those who mentioned my name on last week thread.... I haven't had the time to look but I am sure some one did! :)<br>

Anyway, let's see what I have for this week!!!? Uhmmm! Yeah! Birds! :) The easy type to photograph! <br>

Cheers!</p><div></div>

[peterafle]

<p>I'm (almost) speechless. This is one of the most consistently excellent collections of WeDnEsdAy images I can remember...everyone really brought their best this week! I could spend all morning singing the praises of every single picture. Instead, I am going to list my entirely subjective favorites in each arbitrarily chosen and defined category.<br>

Favorite Bird: This one is a tie: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=997829">Rick Moran</a>'s harrier -- wonderful light, super sharp, and a great capture (by you and the bird); and <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4237857">Paula Wang</a>'s barn owl -- i like the way the shadows focus the eye on the face of the owl (Runner up: Bogdan's turkey) Honorable mention and congrats to <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=3918094">Phil Burt</a> on his first eagle -- may there be many more.<br>

Favorite Portrait: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4434969">Mark Gordon</a>'s muddy still from "Lord of the Flies" (runners up: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=322656">Brandon Wu</a>'s Na'vi Princess and <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=35389">Eric James'</a> Kuskokwim boy) Also a WaRm WeDneSdAy wElCoMe to <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=6033363">Pat Lau</a> with a lovely shot -- but was there any Nikon in it? ;-)<br>

Favorite Still-Life: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5576216">Jana Hughes</a>' chandelier -- it's hard to believe the real colors were even more vibrant (honorable mention to <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=3949752">Gej Jones</a>'s rusted chain)<a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5576216"></a><br>

Favorite Macro: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5735871">Enrique Rabelo</a>'s bird's eye view -- not bad for a first try at macro! :-)<br>

Favorite Flower: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=380414">Oskar Ojala</a>'s simple but lovely spring flowers (honorable mentions are too many to list!)<br>

Favorite Landscape: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4420899">Anish Mankuthel</a>'s castle; runner up <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=5800409">Don Martinich</a>' s California valley<br>

Favorite Bug: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4768482">Alejandro Held</a>'s "Gata Peluda" -- honrable mentions to all the dragonflies, especially <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=4141009">Rick Dohme</a>'s smiling dragon, and to Lil Judd for not letting pain keep her from finding beauty in a humble spider. Hope you feel better soon, Lil!<br>

Favorite Other: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=2403817">Rodeo Joe</a>'s skydiving team. Also wins for best descriptive caption. :-) Runner up: <a href="../photodb/user?user_id=478782">Dave Lee</a>'s B-17 - I'm a lifelong airplane nut; perfect match of shutter speed for those four big props.<br>

See you all next WeEk!<br>

<p>Tim Holte - I really hope that's not a tattoo.</p>

[pvg photography]

<p>This week has truly brought out some beautiful and inspiring work, it has been such a joy to view each and every photo. The ones that particularly caught my eye are:<br>

Jennifer- Nicely done, I love the pale green of the emerging leaves.<br>

Tiffany - Your little model has such an expressive face and you really seem to have captured her wild side.<br>

Lil- Wow that is one sharply focused spider!!! Hope you soon find relief from your pain.<br>

Jan- I love your shot of the Bangkok skyline. Nice coloring.<br>

Richard A- The framing of the cougars face thru the fence makes this particularly interesting.<br>

Roberta - WOW great job. I now have lens envy! :)<br>

Alejandro- You made an interesting bug look beautiful!!<br>

Brandon- You really caught her BLUE eyes.</p>

<p>Thanks to those who commented on my "foggy woods" Have a great week everyone.</p>
