<p>Dear Fellow Nikonians,<br>

Watching and contributing to this forum, in which we can learn so much with amateurs like myself and, I guess, a few professional prhotographers, is becoming an addiction for me ! Last week I have specially enjoyed<br>

Jeff Lipsman's Cambodia fisherman,<br>

Sanford Gerald's Squid boat fisherman,<br>

Louis Meluso's Sandra at play,<br>

Anish Mankuthel Dunstanburgh Castle, <br>

Dave Lee's Neko cat (an amazingly sharp and expressive cat, thak shows how a basic Nikon Camera, with a good lens and especially a good "eye" behind can produce excellent results)<br>

Matthew Brennan's very "professional" New Zealand beach at sunset<br>

Kent Shafer's frog, that really looks like if "he" is posing for the photographer<br>

Martin Z.'s portrait of a friend and<br>

David Janson's extremely neat and detailed iguana.<br>

This week, so far, at this early stage, I have specially enjoyed <br>

Gej Jones Rock wall<br>

Adam Zyto's Sarah and <br>

Lawrence Ho's extremely sucessful result of the classic but difficult water drop experiment.<br>

My own contribution was taken a year ago at Ton Sap Lake, in Cambodia, where a fishing community is fighting hardly for survival every day. I was particularly touched by this young mother, carrying her child, while rowing her small boat. I dedicate it to Jeff Lipsman, who has also been recently in Cambodia, obviously without trying to compete with the quality of his own picture on a similar subject.<br>

Have a Good Photo Wednesday !</p>

<p>Amazing pictures so far today. I didn't get to shoot too many fun shots this week. I'm posting this portrait of Jason. Jason took his Dad and I fishing a year ago this was taken on that trip. Last Wednesday Jason's life was taken in a terrible auto accident. This is the last picture I took of him. This has been a terrible reminder for me of how important we are as Photographers at capturing precious moments in time. I spent last night with Jason's mom and dad so I'm really trying to type through the tears. Life is so precious.</p><div>00WRhy-243557584.thumb.jpg.b9c72b19b6dfbea121d9497349ee8d33.jpg</div>

<p>Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's Wednesday again, time to reward the visual senses, once again. My shot this week was taken about a week ago at the local arboretum, during my lunch break. It has been a great place to go and clear the mind from a busy morning, whether carrying a camera or not. I was not able to get back last week and spend some time commenting, hopefully that will not be the case this week.</p><div>00WRiN-243563584.jpg.8fe3feaf3e2b7c8cc8df53b34b491a61.jpg</div>

<p>Happy WedNEsDAy everyone!<br>

Grrrreat pics as usual and few that I've enjoyed very much so far:<br>

<a href="/photodb/user?user_id=5876342">Markku Vihava</a> - excellent! Favorite so far...<br>

<a href="/photodb/user?user_id=1619682">Keith Obye</a> - soft and tender. I like this! <br>

<a href="/photodb/user?user_id=5861957">Grant Tanner</a> - Pentagram is my favorite geometric shape and you nailed the symmetry in this one! <br>

We had a great annual party with my friends, where we celebrate the people, the food and the drinks.<br />This weeks pic shows "a finnish way" of cutting some hard cheese. I just wish I've had more aperture, but I'll blame the alcohol for this mistake! =)<br>

<strong>D200 + 50mm f/1.8</strong> (1/60s, f2.0, <em>ISO100)</em><br>

<p>This airbus was being towed from the maintenance hanger to the passenger terminal to load up its passengers. Couldn't help notice how the white paintwork could have done with a wash, unless of course it had just flown through an ash cloud. The light of course was in the wrong place, shading my side, which didn't help matters very much.<br>

<strong>D700, iso 200, 1/400, f/16, 112mm on the nikkor 24-120.</strong><br>

<p>Wednesday , my favorite day of the week! Wonderful shots . <br>

I really wanted to try and capture some of the Louisiana coastline this past weekend , but the sun was just brutal and did not like any of the shots. So, my yard was my subject .<br>

Watched this guy hunting for a while before he stopped for just a moment and expanded his throat.</p>

<p>It`s the middle of the week and a time for the exclusive gallery of fine details, great light, emotions, wonderful pets and sports, etc... It time for the Nikon Wednesday photos - time for all of us. :-)<br>

<br /> Very warm thank`s to all of you, whom commented my last week`s photo! The gallery-collection was fine at last week, but this seem`s to out do even the past galleries. Simply great stuff in here!<br>

<br /> Matt and Greg stroke some of the first home runs and from there the collection has got even more great works. Outstanding. Markku, I notice that you too have dusted your macro-lens. Me too. :-)<br>

<br /> My photo for this week comes from my yard. This day has been the first really rather warm and sunny day for quite some time in here. So, a little bit time for some photos during lunch break.</p><div>00WRlX-243599584.jpg.60fa7b180191eaddd1df0081f0a86ba6.jpg</div>
