Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #23

[Leroy_Photography]

<p>Nice pictures everyone. Such a good variety. I'm getting a bit bored with my 365 Project and am in need of a change: perhaps a new lens, a new challenge -- anyway, I played bit with the light last night. This is a little brackish in feel, but it's a change.</p><div></div>

<p>The contrast of colors drew my eye to this cliche of spring image. Great contrast and the yellow really pops on Velvia. </p><div></div>

<p>I confess! I've pointed my Nikon gear at nothing but clichés during this week! But before showing what I dug from my hard drive this time, I want to thank Tiffany for your comment on last week. I always admire your portraits and recognize them even without looking the photographers name, I really like your style. And I also would like to welcome Jeannean Buglady back, good to see your shots again, I missed them while you were away!</p>

<p>And now, my cliché of the week:</p>

<p>I've been out with the Nikomat FT2 with some black & white film in it, but since there may not be any results for some time, I can use it as a prop. Thanks Lil for reminding me that macro can be fun. The bee never made it into the frame on the Nikomat, so I had to get him with the D100. 1/200th f11 with a little light from a Vivitar 285 to blow out the front of the PB-5 rails.</p><div></div>

<p>a touch of lyme disease has slowed me down a bit here lately. keep plenty of "deep woods"-type insect repellent on hand for those woodlands jaunts. and if that fails, there's always doxycycline...<br>

i suppose it's the price we pay for our art...</p><div></div>

<p>Taken weekend b4 last, I was required to metamorphize one of my best friends and fabulous musician Marla Fibish into a sexy pin-up accordian babe for a month of this coming years accordian babe calendar. We had loads of fun and some hard work to do the set-ups. Except for the crop, this image is basically in-camera with no post-processing including sharpening. We'll do that when the selections get made for the top 3-5 images. Done with a D700 and 24-70, which, under the lights performed beautifully and I was very happy with it. Most of these were shot around 5.6 more or less at 250 sync speed. <img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4061/4654797792_484a8ab771_b.jpg" alt="" /></p>

<p>Great images, everyone. I saw a lot of bird photos today - here's another. I shot this at a U.S. Fish & Wildlife event over the weekend.</p><div></div>

<p>The Pope paid a visit to our humble island last weekend for a state visit and to bless the faithfull. On departure on Sunday afternoon, following due protocol, he departed with the national airline of the visited country. Security was crazy. Other air traffic on hold, police helicopters and military vehicles patrolling the perimeter. Here, from the public beach, his VIP flight taxies past some of the security vehicles standing by for his flight.<br>

<p>Haven't a clue as to why my mom called these hen&bitties, but it looked interesting at the time. Nikon F5, 50mm F1.4 AF on Kodak Ektar 100.</p><div></div>

<p>I haven't been able to photograph much lately, but I did manage to sneak in a quick shot yesterday. We're expecting the birth of our son in 3 weeks, and so we've been spending quite a bit of time getting the nursery ready. I liked the notion of the stuffed animals (Kermit in this particular instance) awaiting the arrival of their new playmate. :-)</p><div></div>
