Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #42

[pvg photography]

<p>Good Morning Nikonistas!! Looks like folks had a fun/interesting out and about w/ thier Nikon gear this past week. My shot is from the last morning of my recent sailing trip up in Maine. It was the best sunrise of four mornings but it was also sad to see, knowing it was our last day on the water.</p><div></div>

<p>Going through the archives - high time for some clean-up - finding some images I never processed. This one is from February 2007 - a Great Blue Heron successfully fishing in the ocean.</p><div></div>

<p>Not something you see every day - a motorcycle with an HC symbol</p><div></div>

<p>Hi everyone,<br>

like so many others I really look forward to Wednesday and the wonderful pictures it brings.<br>

Here's my contribution - a crop of a fence paling that was in the background of a portrait - hope you find it as intriguing as I do.<br>

As always a great collection of pictures this week.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Nikophiles. Some terrific stuff here again.<br>

This shot was taken some weeks ago, but I've been a bit lazy about doing my post-processing lately and other stuff has taken priority.<br>

Anyhow, tech details are D700 at ISO 25,600; 70-300mm Tamron lens at around 300mm handheld; 160th @ f/6.</p><div></div>

Anish: incredible shot<br>

Lex: that shot reminds me that I need to start exercising<br>

Mikhail: good thing you're not afraid of heights<br>

Rick: great shot<br>

Vince: love the B+W<br>

Phil: I like it, not sure why but I do<br>

Paul: great shot, I imagine you get a lot of old sailing ship shots in your area.<br>

and the rest of the shots are great too, all of you inspire me to try to shot better and learn more.</p>

<p>Hello all...not the most exciting photo I am posting for this week but it reflects what I am all about now. We just moved into a wonderful, peaceful home Friday and here is my front yard view~ no houses, no nothing~ only 1.75 acres of trees (and an orchard). We also get incredible sunsets, and when I can find the mount for my Manfrotto, I am planning on taking some sunset photos. I have hardly picked up my camera in the last month, but I plan on getting back into my photoing regimen this Thursday when I take off to shoot some foliage at a reservoir. Hope you all have a pleasant day...and if you are in my area, you can always come help unpack, I mean hang out with me shoot the view ;)</p><div></div>

<p>From last week, at Matthaei Botanical Gardens. I love taking the D40 around as a fun camera, and with the 18-70 lens, it's quite versatile.</p>

<p>Jennifer M: I'll be happy to help you unpack if you will put me by a window to work. Congratulations on your new home and lovely view! </p>

<p>I had a great photography weekend - lots of opportunities. I have several favorites but this is the one that is ready to post. These are barn owls from our local zoo. My daughter volunteers there on Wednesday and requested a picture so she could sketch them.</p><div></div>
