Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #18

<p>Hello everyone,<br>

This is my contribution for this week. Taken with Nikon FE+50mm f/1.8+Fujifilm Superia 200</p><div></div>

<p>Before I post my image, can someone explain why the word "Wednesday" is written with mixed caps and lower case in this forum? I've seen "WeDnEsDaY", "WeDNesDay", etc. </p>

<p>Okay, now for my shot. My friend Jerry was showing off his new glasses, and I couldn't resist the late afternoon light.</p><div></div>

<p>Great stuff so far everybody! I'll have to come back later today to really appreciate everything; no time now.<br>

Here's mine for the day: I took a trip down to the train tracks here in Phoenix last week, and saw some fuel tanks that were taking a short break. Might've broken a few rules getting so close to them, but there was a certain beauty to the lines the tracks were making down the line to infinity, and the morning sun was too perfect that day to let go.<br>

Shot with Nikon D3000, 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 DX Lens, at ISO 100, F8, 1/250.</p><div></div>

<p>Martin: When PN member Jose Angel first started the Nikon Wednesday institution many, many moons ago, he whimsically used the "WEdNEsDAy"-ish mixed capitalization in the subject lines of those threads. That tradition stuck for quite a while, as it made the subject line easy to spot every week, when the thread was young and mixed in with a lot of other content. This weekly thread has become such a touchstone now (and it floats up to the PN home page long before the sun is up many places on Wednesday!) that it seemed OK to relax that mixed-case text, and make things a little easier to read for everyone, especially newcomers and those that aren't native English speakers/writers. Some contributors, though, enjoy keeping Jose's playful original style alive every week - and that's one of the thread's charming idiosyncrasies.<br /><br />Speaking of enjoying things: this week is off to a lovely start. I'm liking the great selection of shots that show the photographer's initiative to get <em>out</em> there and make things happen.</p>

<p>Hey all. Please excuse me for not singling out specific photos, but there's just too many. The quality is so high on this forum.<br>

I got asked to do some photos for a friend this last weekend. My 1st formal portrait session as such. Was fun, but long. Here is a sample.</p><div></div>

<p>Terrific pictures from everyone who has posted so far. My contribution today is another reptile photo, an american alligator photographed in Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge.</p>

<p>Hello fellow Nikonians!!</p>

<p>Great shots as always this week. I'll post my photo later tonight and take some time to appreciate everyone's photos, but for now I'll single out Kent Shafer's frog as my favorite so far. </p>

<p>Nice work all. Had a visitor Saturday afternoon while doing spring yard work. Used my D300 and Nikor 100-300MM.</p><div></div>

<p>Some very interesting Photos this week!<br>

This was taken from the street in South Beach in front of The Clevelander. LONG SHOT 2010 is a 24 hour photo marathon in support of Photo Center NW.<br>

I drove 600 miles and made 600 images in the 24 hour time frame. Exausting but fun and well worth it.<br>

<p>Good Wednesday everyone!</p>

<p>First, thanks for comments to my pic in last week's thread to Matt (loved your product shot in last week) & Linda (loved the green and the feeling of spring & freedom in your last week's shot).</p>

<p><a href="../photo/10979018">This one</a> was shot last Thursday in a small village nearby. I loved the irony of that scene (the graffiti stating "City" in a rather rural surroundings) and just had to capture it. It is actually a wall of abandoned warehouse of old Iittala glass factory, or so I was told by two elderly ladies who happened to walk by. So here's "City".</p>

<p>here's a young black-capped chickadee making his first foray into the wilds. i watched him and 2 others take their first flights saturday morning, and it wasn't pretty. one even launched itself directly at me, and landed on my shirt -- hanging there precariously for a couple of moments before realizing he was in the wrong place. it was a unique experience, to say the least (and that's speaking from <em>my </em>perspective!).</p><div></div>

<p>hi everybody</p>

[JamieHarre]

<p>

<p>Greetings, Nikon Buddies. Wonderful work; my comments on some particulars:</p>

<ul>

<li>Matt L. - thanks for lugging the camera bag. What a pleasant surprise.</li>

<li>Michael M. - nice composition</li>

<li>Alejandro H. - on my list again; love the color and DOF.</li>

<li>Doug R. - nice blur, nice composition. I like the way the foreground enhances, rather than distracts.</li>

<li>Marc H. - more bars in more places?</li>

<li>Steve B. - very nice view.</li>

</ul>

<p>My contribution is another angle of the downtown Academy of Art location. PS8 used to crop and make B&W, etc.</p>
