I am writing this note under duress, and am being forced to take cat photographs in order to regain my freedom. I have been well fed and reasonably well treated, but fear for my sanity. Only the knowledge that dozens of other Nikon shooters are out there, choosing their <em>own</em> subject matter, can give me hope. Please share a non-cat image, and give me something to cling to until next week.<br /><br />Note: I jest. Cats are great. A good friend just adopted a young male kitten, and asked if I would attempt a couple of portraits while the critter is still young and cute (for a cat). What the heck, I thought, I'll do it ... and I'm even thick-skinned enough to post it here on the single most important weekly photography thread in the known universe. Please share anything you've been up to with your Nikon gear - even if it <em>does</em> involve a cat.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schaefer Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 <p>Not even close to Wednesday yet where I live - but nonetheless. Forgot to post last week. Got lucky this week finding a family of Great Horned Owls in a Eucalyptus grove close to where I live. Not at all easy to spot, mostly hiding in the underbrush or other dark places. Caught two owlets out in the open for a few seconds.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Boyd Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 <p>Hello Everyone. Many thanks for the comments on my image last Wednesday. This week's image was taken last weekend when my camera club had an opportunity to visit a tiger rehabilitation facility in North Texas. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryAmmerman Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 <p>Happy Wednesday everyone. It's actually still Tuesday here. I'm not usually up late enough to get on the thread this early.</p> <p>I haven't captured much lately worth posting, so I'll upload one from a recent attempt at night shooting. This was actually a shot that I happened across by accident while moving from one position to another. I happened to look up and thought that this might make a decent picture. So I plopped the tripod down and fired away. I didn't even change any of the settings from the previous shot. Not too bad, I would say, for something completely unplanned. The only editing I did was to clone out a couple of ghosts from the lamps. Although, if I had it all to do over again, I think I'd move my truck out of the background.</p> <p>Hope everyone has a great day.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielowen Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 <p>Up early today. Last week I had the pleasure of going on a trip to the Saltee Islands, off the coast of Co. Wexford, Ireland. There is a magnificent Gannet colony there - a bird watchers and photographers paradise. (Swooping behind the Gannet in this picture is a Razorbill). </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rascal64 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 <p>Good evening from Seattle. First, thank you to Wayne, Arthur, Jose, Kris, Doug, Martin and Paul for you generous comments and contributions. This thread is always inspirational.</p> <p>Matt...Yes, cat shots are as common as I don't know...bird shots? But, you know, that is one heckuva fine kitty cat shot. Both you and his pet human should be delighted.</p> <p>Dieter...Your owls are beautiful. What good fortune to see them in the wild. I hear that it is a good omen.</p> <p>My contribution is from the annual Fremont Solstice Parade in Seattle. I am in the midst of going through hundreds of photos. I am putting together a folder in my PN portfolio. Please stop by for more glimpses of one of the coolest summer celebrations in the world. In addition to an unprecedented number of naked bicyclists, the show stopper for me was the Yellow Submarine float. This is one of the apple bonkers (I actually got bonked 3 times...I even have a small wound on my nose as a reward trying to get "the shot")</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsypkin Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 <p>Greetings to all, great photos! My today's contribution is a photo of wildlife -- or, at least, what passes for wildlife in my photography: a Roosevelt elk, grazing in a ditch off a dirt road in the Prairie Creek Redwood State Park, CA. I leave my minivan between him and myself (just in case, it's wildlife, after all), get my Nikon D 90 with the often maligned 18-200 mm lens (no time to get the 17-200 mm instead), and take several shots before the elk gets tired of this and wanders off. </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not extremely interesting I know, but it was the first time this year the temperature exceeded 20 degrees C. so the white house and the blue skies also shows summer.<br> Great owls Dieter.
