Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #20

[richardsnow]

<p>Good Wednesday Nikonians!<br>

Great shots as always everyone. I'll come back tonight when I have a bit more time to really check everything out and post my comments.</p>

<p>I didn't have time to post last week, and I spent a lot of time shooting. Picking the right shot for this week seemed a challenge, but it's probably my favorite action shot this week. </p>

<p>This is a shot on goal in a Boy's High School Lacrosse Game</p><div></div>

<p>My favorite shot this week goes to Jeff Lipsman. I do love light painting. How'd you make the orb?<br /> It rained a ton last week in Maryland, so I stayed inside and shot self-portraits. I'm trying to learn how to use off-camera flash. Here's my best shot, and you can click through to see a contact sheet from the shoot:</p>

<p>Good morning...<br>

Another beautiful WedNEsDAy...</p>

<p>My contribution today comes from this past Saturday - a beautiful day in the east coast...I happen to stop-by the skyline in VA from the rear end.</p>

<p>D300s with Sigma 24-55 mm/f 2.8 shot @ 26mm f/13 1/125th sec ISO100 hand-held, and unsharpen mask applied in PS CS.</p><div></div>

<p>No time to comment in detail as I'm heading out of town to see my grandson in a Shakespeare play, but all photos are so enjoyable so far! This shot is a sunrise through my front door. The little cairn terrier silhouette is hanging on the front porch with my house numbers on it! I thought it made the shot pop!</p><div></div>

<p>Here is one for this past week. I used a 300 mm lens and all the extension I had with me to make the background flowers create the soft pastel. A very goofy sight for anyone watching me do this to see.</p><div></div>

<p>I just love spring photography!</p><div></div>

<p>The Sunshine Hill Climb bike race...from Boulder to Gold Hill, Colorado on May 19, 2010. Image was taken using a Nikon D700 and a 70-200.2.8 VRI lens. PP'd in LR2, CS5, Nik Efex Silver Pro</p>

<p>This image was captured on April 25. Unfortunately, some of the flowers had already past peak and had dried up. I'll remember to go there a little earlier next year.</p>

<p>Nikon D300 with 300mm/f2.8 AF-S VR + TC-14E, hand held @ f4 for an effective f5.6, 1/2000 sec and ISO 400.</p>

<p>Tiffany, sorry to hear about your computer problems. Traditional hard drives are the most vulnerable part of any computer due to fast-spinning mechanical parts. Hope you can recover the images. In the longer run, having a few backups is key. I just bought yet another 2T Western Digital drive to store my images, as Costco has $20 off for them this month ($129 final cost).</p><div></div>

<p>Incidentally, I have cleaned up a number of posts where the posters were unable to attach images. If you have trouble with that, we have the detailed procedure here: <a href="http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km">http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km</a></p>

<p>See my 2nd post in that thread. To have an image attached to your post, please (1) supply a JPEG image no wider than 700 pixels horizontally and (2) type in a caption. Those JPEGs should be within 300K bytes in file size.</p>

<p>Thank you for commenting my photo last week! This one was taken in Photo Trip to Estonia last week.</p><div></div>

<p>Excellent stuff as always. Very cool "orb" Jeff. I'll have to try that. This is one of my early shots with my new Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens - love the lens on my D90. Oh, and yes, my wife dyed the kids' hair that day - my daughter wouldn't let her put in a pink stripe so she has a blonde highlight.</p><div></div>

<p>Unfortunately not a lot of time this past week, D80-18-135mm kit lens @ 135mm f/5.6 1/400s taken 2 weeks ago before the hail storm damaged all the flowers on the house's garden.<br>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone, looking good, as always!</p>

<p>Last Friday one of the most beautiful buildings in my home town caught fire, thanks to certain unnamed multinational hamburger chain and it's deep fryer...</p>

<p>Kent Shafer I just spotted a face in your clouds formation. It's on the very top in the middle. You can see a triangle face with dark area around the eyes. Cool shot</p>

<p> Seems like Wednesdays offerings keep getting better and better. This week I just spent some time creating imags for my wifes website.</p>
