<p>A happy Nikon Wednesday to you, folks. I was just watching the Sporting Group judging at the Westminster Kennel Club's annual all-breed show in New York. Those professional handlers have a real rapport with their canine charges, and all of those super-tuned-in hunting dogs reminded me of a recent portrait session with a young Lab. He couldn't keep his eyes off of his mom (and the treats she was using keep him focused). They worked well together, and I could pay attention to setting up an off-camera speedlight and umbrella out in their muddy yard. The whole Nikon pacakge came together for me, as it always does. What have you been up to? Share a photo!</p><div>00YEGI-332935584.jpg.335837a4fdf9a17025a0aa5bef45449d.jpg</div>

<p><strong>Wild bald eagle wintering in Iowa</strong>, displaying powerful broad wings, bright yellow eyes, hooked yellow beak and sharp powerful talons. Notice the long primary flight feathers in the open right wing and then notice how the eagle has partially folded its left wing as it maneuvers in flight.</p><div>00YEGV-332947584.jpg.ed08ab20eedee0e85dba71afe165c826.jpg</div>

<p>I shot this the other day. I had rented the 12-24 to get some shots of a house nearby that was being remodeled (the first floor is currently missing) and of a new mural nearby (murals in this neck of the woods are extremely rare — and the shop owner is getting grief from the city). I didn't really like this shot until I cropped it a bit more (was 16:9 is now 10:4). The weather is shit today, but it really cooperated that day, and the sunset was nothing short of fantastic. Maybe it's time to get an ultra-wide zoom. Dunno. The 16:9 version is <a href=" end of the line

<p>Went to check out Adra's Tunnel with an old friend during Sunday's snowstorm in the South Okanagan, British Columbia. Got the truck stuck on the way home and spent 8 hours trying to dig it out before having to call it quits and get sledded out at dark before returning the next morning with the tractor.<br /><strong>Nikon D90 @ 10mm ISO200 f/7.1 1sec </strong></p><div>00YEGz-332975584.jpg.ff0a393313ec044b93587f6368048960.jpg</div>

<p><em>Eric… despite the Int'l Blvd sign, that looks a lot like the work at 13th & Folsom in the city. Neat.</em></p>

<p>yes, i've been following this mural's progress for a bit. last week Vulcan was out there painting, and the art crew is in the process of executing a sketch from Phase 2. SF has its own graffiti art tradition, i know, but what's happening in Oakland is particularly exciting right now.</p>
