<p>I was out experimenting with my 400mm telephoto and I was able to take this picture of an object 250,000 miles away! Great lens.</p><div></div>

<p >Thanks to all who commented on my photo this past week, especially <strong >Lil </strong>(always producing excellent work), <strong >Alejandro, Larry Gardner</strong>, and <strong >Vineet Rajasekhar</strong> (all three who ALSO produce excellent work). </p>

<p > </p>

<p >Some comments on last week’s photos:</p>

<p > </p>

<p ><strong >Matthew Brennan</strong> – those Aussie clouds make the picture</p>

<p ><strong >Tiffany Brook</strong> – I smiled at this portrait. I grew up on the Olympic peninsula and can still smell the wonderful forest if I close my eyes and imagine</p>

<p ><strong >Gej Jones</strong> – Excellent geometric image. We are all glad you did not take a tumble!</p>

<p ><strong >Vineet Rajasekhar</strong> – clouds make the picture as well as the combined shadows and lighted areas on the hills</p>

<p ><strong >Rene Villela</strong> – a pintail, right? Thankfully there is autofocus-imagine trying to capture one of these little rockets with manual focus!</p>

<p ><strong >John Mita</strong> – excellent floral image</p>

<p ><strong >Rich Moran</strong> – great yellowlegs shot, love the reflection</p>

<p ><strong >Doug Santo</strong> – great hummer shot</p>

<p ><strong >Scott Murphy</strong> – love the 4X5 look to your still life. Excellent lighting technique</p>

<p ><strong >Emilie Dowd</strong> – very nice aspen image</p>

<p ><strong >Alpo Syvanen</strong> – this image plays tricks on my eyes!</p>

<p > </p>

<p >This week I am posting a recently scanned image which was the VERY FIRST picture taken with my new Nikon F2A in 1978! For the sake of preservation I have a scanning project underway of my best shots. This was taken on Kodak color negative film and is beginning to show its age, so I spent much time in Photoshop “bringing it back to specification.” Tiffany will probably know that this is the North Head Lighthouse in Ilwaco, Washington at the mouth of the Columbia River.</p>

<p > </p>

<p >Sorry for the lengthy post! Keep up the excellent work, all!</p><div></div>

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

<p>Early celebration of 120th anniversary of Javanese immigration to Suriname... A young Jaran Kepang player was walking with his traditional mask. Little more info about Jaran Kepang is in my oldest blog post <a href="http://www.ertugrulkilic.com/blog/article/16/jaran-kepang-the-most-popular-javanese-dance-in-suriname" target="_blank">here</a>. Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by and many cheers you to all. Regards,</p>

<p>Hi folks, at last the weather is better up North east. As I was walking, the sun was passing through the window. 5 hand held exposures. Nice day to everyone.</p><div></div>

<p>This was taken as I was driving (slowly and carefully) along a quiet country road. I had previously set up the camera the way I wanted it - an exposure of one second to give the blur and sense of movement and a polarising filter to enable the longer shutter speed. Of course the result may look like a mistake but it is something akin to the image I had in my mind beforehand - like an impressionist painting. </p><div></div>

<p> Yesterday morning I had a photo shoot of a charter boat at 8 am. I was to go to the top of the causeway bridge about 100' off the water and take pictures of the boat as it passed in all directions. I got up early and went out to get the paper and saw this great full moon. I decided to leave early and race down to the bridge before the moon set. Wow what a beautiful sight. The boat shots came out great also. Nikon D3, Nikon 80-400, 210mm, F/5.3, 1/80sec, ISO 800, Exposure compensation -2 step</p><div></div>

<p>Happy wednesday all!<br>

Will be back later to study the steady stream of weekly inspiration!<br>

My attempt this week, the spring weather continues, this time in Italy's warmest city, Catania. A comfortable 22 degrees (Celsius), just a few kilometers away from the snowy Etna I had on wednesday photo last week...<br>

<p>On Sunday, 10,000 motorbikes took part in a local charity event, as they have done at this season for the last 30 years. Since the bikers take gifts to sick children in local hospitals, many of them dress up for the event, as seen here.</p>

<p>I'm posting this in memory of my Dad, who died last week. He was a keen photographer, especially in his younger days, and has left plenty of B&W negatives for me to trawl through for family treasures.</p><div></div>

<p>This is the only shot I had time to edit before this Wednesday, so the choice was kind of easy :-)<br>

We always get narcissus' for spring, so it really feels like winter has ended now.</p><div></div>

[Ian Rance]

<p>I was wanting to give my F70 some use as I have been short of time lately so I fitted it with the 50mm f1.4 AF-S and went on a country walk. Despite it being very muddy I found it enjoyable and stopped to take some photos of the last of the snowdrops in this quiet, mossy graveyard.</p><div></div>

<p>First off thanks everybody for your kind words on last weeks photo.<br>

This Snowy Egret was flying very low to the water on a very calm day and as luck would have it I managed to get a shot of how close to the water it was.<br>
