Nikon Wednesday 2011: #30

[User_2019667]

<p>Good Wednesday morning to all. Some great shots this morning as usual. Finally a little relief from the oppressive heat here in Ohio this morning. I was walking at one of our many county parks in Ashland county, Ohio yesterday and liked the way the morning sun was striking these yellow flowers in the butterfly garden. </p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning Wednesday :)</p>

<p>My submission is from couple of weeks back when I was at UMASS amherst. Late evening clouds were beautiful and due to soft sunlight building was perfectly lit with few shadows. This is an HDR converted to Black and White.</p>

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario.<br>

It was a lovely morning on Sunday so we took Harry to the New Liskeard board walk so he'd have a chance to socialize. As you can see, things were rally busy at 11:00AM. He did get to meet some kids who were swimming and to see what a sandy beach was. I got to take his photo of 2 bums on a board walk.</p><div></div>

<p>I've been chasing every bug in my yard for 3 days since I got my new lens. I didn't know ants had hairy backs. This ant was 1/8" long. Thanks Jeannean and Roberta for this obsession. <br /> Nikon D3, Sigma 150 2.8 macro, 150mm,1/250 SS, F/8, ISO 800</p><div></div>

Early this morning I was on my way to perform my daily chores when this wild Oxeye Daisy captured my attention, complete with dew and hover fly.</p><div></div>

<p>Haven't taken much in the last week, so I'll go with an older one, under the theory that there is no such thing as a baby that isn't good lookin'. A new addition to my extended family.</p><div></div>

<p>This week found me trying something completely different and new. I was out trying to find some bugs in one of my hunting grounds called the spillway. I noticed these guys training their dogs to retrieve birds. I asked them if I could try and get a few shots. They were very gracious and allowed me to follow them around through the mud and muck.<br>

This is the first time I have ever tried anything like this. All I can say is WOW, I had a blast. Dogs, water, reflections, what more could a girl ask for !!<br>

It is amazing to watch these dogs work. I hope I can get the opportunity to do this again. <br>

Matt, you are so fortunate to be able to work with the dogs !!!</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday! Great work again, everyone. Eye catchers are Matt, Erik, Shun... my favorite Roberta!<br>

Here, admittedly not my best work - testing out the underwater housing (finally pulled the trigger, to complement my other hobby), just a few feet offshore, snorkeling. At least it did not flood.</p><div></div>

<p>lots of great pics already this morning!<br /> Matt what an adorable pup! <br /> Lil great capture on the praying mantis!! super envious :)<br /> Paul, I knew the king was still alive! ;)</p>

<p>I have finally figured out how to get a macro shot without my flash, I use the "reverse macro" style or in other words "poor man's macro" lol. so I am pretty proud of this shot.</p>
