<p>Happy Wednesday again everyone. I've been working a lot lately and have only been able to get out once and shoot some pics of some nearby flowers at my apartment complex. So here's another flower shot. Hope everyone has a great day.</p>

<p>I haven't taken my equipment out in a week. So disappointed in myself. I'll just have to post a shot from my last trip out. A chance encounter with good light. Happy shooting everyone.</p><div></div>

<p>Beautiful photos as usual! (Thanks Rick for the welcome back last week. :) I found this Katydid cleaning it's antenna the other day in the front yard. They are *really* long! D90/Sigma 150/SB600 offboard diffused@1/160, f/10.<br>

<p>Don't get to use my D2H that often anymore but when I do it still blows me away.</p>

<p>Greetings all. Once again, Wednesday arrives.<br>

Again a really good range of high quality photos. Thanks all for sharing.<br>

From my side a friend was nice enough to model for me while I experimented with off camera flash and softbox for the 1st time. We decided to go with a slightly different subject matter.</p><div></div>

<p>On Saturday we went hiking in the hills and camped by a lake.<br>

@Tiffany. Thank you for your nice comment last week. Your portraits are always inspirational. Both last weeks and this weeks are stunning.</p><div></div>

<p>This week's images are even better than usual, if that's possible. Here's a cat.</p>

<p>My pic for the week!!!</p>

[mark_mandell]

<p>Interesting theme, Matt, as I have something that fits (for a change |;-} ) This is a set-up for deep hollowing of a large wood salad bowl. The wood is spalted Red Maple that's been cut to about 18" in diameter. The contrast between the gleaming steel and the warmth of the wood was hard (for me) to get balanced. Primary light was from 6 incandescent spots with fill flash bounced off two cards from above and behind the camera to the right. D700, 24-85 @ 85mm, ISO 1250, 1/60th at f5.6.</p><div></div>

<p>Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Los Angeles. D700, 14mm. Thank you to those who commented on my image last week.</p><div></div>

<p>My photo for today is a new thing for me. I usually do not shoot birds but I have a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 and I bought a Sigma TC 2.0 for it and I put this on my tripod and waited for the birds to come to my bird feeder.<br>

I like what I got so I am happy with the results of the TC2. Any comments on the quality will be appreciated as I do respect other eyes looking at it and advising.<br>

Thank you,<br>

<p>This is a shot of a pileated woodpecker by a rail trail nearby. I had been looking for him/her for a week or so. Finally found in him along a trail pecking away. After a while he flew down to this log. For central Indiana, this was a great find for me. They are beautiful birds, nearly as large as a crow!<br /><br />D90, 55-200 lends at 200mm <br />ISO 1250 1/200 sec f/10<br /><br />Some of my favorites so far:<br />Mark C, Jana H, Tiffany B, Fred A, Arthur A, Rene V, Aguinaldo P, ANdrew M, Paul G, Nina M, Bob D, Jeannean B, Doug S</p><div></div>

<p> Great shots so far today!!<br>

Weather did not permit chasing bugs last week, so back to water drops. I tried something a bit different. Put two holes in the bag to see what would happen. I liked the sense of motion in this shot. <br>

D300 60mm micro f/16 shutter 1/125 SB600 off camera<br>

Have a great week everyone.</p>

<p>Good morning WedNEsDAy photographers. <br>

I saw this barn while on a birthday weekend get-a-way in Traverse City, Mi. It was raining when I took the shot. The lines and angles looked interesting and I hope you like it.<br>

Have a great week!</p>
