Nikon Wednesday Pic 2010: #47

[Kent Shafer]

<p>Jeannean, nice picture. I'm an ignoramus when it comes to insects, though. How does one ascertain that a moth is sleeping? Snoring? Tiny pajamas?</p>

<p>Good Morning to everyone and a Happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate it.</p>

<p>My shot is of a lonely cucumber beetle hanging to a blade of grass in the wind.</p>

<p>Hi there, my photo was taken over the weekend, I was practising my skills and new ideas when the kids decided to do their own make up and insisted in being part of the photo shoot.<br>

My two lovely models..</p><div></div>

<p>Kent, the fluffy white hotel robe is the give away. I don't know if they actually call it sleeping, but they are resting and not moving until it warms up, and since it was early morning, I prefer to call it sleeping because I should have been sleeping instead of looking for bugs. ;-)</p>

<p>Roberta, I got an Oregon Cycnia id, but you know these bugs...a lot look similar to each other.</p>

<p>Hello, Fellow Nikonians ! Last Sunday I went for a walk to the coast of Lisbon, near Cascais, to a place called "Boca do Inferno" (Hell's Mouth) and took a picture of these amateur fishermen with both my digital and analogic Nikons. Here is the digital version. The analogic version, in b&w, may be next week.<br>

Have a good photo week !</p>

<p>Happy Thanksgiving to all. I am on vacation in the Chicago, Illinois and did not have a photo for today, so I used this corner of my Sister's house to try out some lighting setups that I have learned lately.<br>

I used my pop up flash to trigger 2 off camera flashes, 1 sb-600 and 1 sb-900.<br>

I also do not have my computer so I wasn't able to do anything in Photoshop, so this is right out of the camera, except for resizing to 700.<br>

All photos so far are absolutely spectacular.<br>

Again wishing all a wonderful holiday.<br>

<p>We went for a walk this weekend on our monthly gathering with a local photography group. I usually take only one lens with me, and now it was the turn of the 12-24 mm, on my D90.</p>

<p>This guy joined us as if it were our guide through the whole visit of the town.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi Everyone! Great portraits in this week's thread!</p>

<p>Last Friday I was teaching some kids the very basics of photography (read: everything I know :) ) in a workshop at a local school, and one of the kids had this neat concept in his mind. His shots of this were better than mine, and since I can't post his photo, here's my grab shot of his idea.</p>
