<p>Hi everyone,<br>

Lots of pictures already, I guess I'm a bit late :-)<br>

Very good pics this week. Going through them, I especially like the following:<br>

Jeff Lipsman - nice wildflower<br />Chris Court - nasty looking bug, but great capture<br />Thomas Gerstendorfer - the light is indeed good, cool look<br />Anish Mankuthel - man and dog works on many levels<br />Tony Hadley - great light, very graphic<br />Vineet Rajasekhar - great atmosphere, you nailed it well<br />Issac Sam - I like the mood; the subject is such that the picture could have been taken any decade ago<br />Andres Arteaga - good composition and good colors, matches its title perfectly<br /><br /><br>

Living in northern Europe, I did take a mandatory sunset picture due to the ash (although honestly it didn't look like the ash had much of an effect), but I figured it doesn't work that well in a small size anyway and I haven't decided on how to edit it. so I present to you a rather typical early springtime picture but in BW (the colors aren't that strong here anyway). It's taken near a bird protection area, the city can be seen in the distance.</p><div></div>

<p>My image this week was taken with my Nikon D200, f10, ISO 200 with a 50mm 1.8 lens at 4 second exposure. It is of an elevator circa the early 1900's.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm late again, as usual. </p>

<p>I received my 55mm f3.5 AI from KEH yesterday evening. Today I had a little getting to know you session. I'm quite impressed so far. I'm really looking forward to using this lens more. Here's the best that I got today. </p><div></div>

<p>Better late than never....</p>

<p>My son will be attending college this fall, have been visiting campuses. This is a picture from the University of Chicago campus. Serendipitous, I was born on this very campus, my father taught there. Never thought one my son's prime choices would be this college.</p>

<p>Taken with D300, Tokina 12-24mm f/4.0, 1/320s, f/6.3, ISO-200.</p>

<p>This is the one Photo.net thread I always look at instead of skimming when my mailbox is full to overflowing. All brilliant photos again, as usual. Here is my contribution, second time. There were four lovely curlews sitting quietly in front of my parked car enjoying the sun. I expected them all to bolt when I got my camera out and moved a little closer to them. Luckily it was at a local tourist beach and I think they were used to us humans. <br>

D300, 300mm AF-S f4, f8 1/320s, ISO 800. (I too forget to check my ISO regularly.....*sigh* one day)</p><div></div>

<p>Another inspiring Wednesday has come to a close. Shots that caught my eye this week are:<br>

Chris C.- Good to see you back. Your focus stacking really brings out the details!!<br>

Shun- Just the right amount of blur to make the image that much more interesting.<br>

Tiffany- Oh to be the subject of a TB portrait, at such a tender young age. Nice job.<br>

Dieter-Reminds me of an impressionist watercolor!<br>

Louis- Good job on the B&W treatment of the flower. <br>

Roberta-Always love your water droplets. I need to give it a try at some point.<br>

Eric- Intriguing image! Even more so thinking that you tossed your camera into the air to get it.<br>

Steve- That is a beautiful collision of water!</p>
