<p>Some exciting stuff so far.<br>

I found a dead pigeon on my lawn this morning; the victim of some nocturnal conflict with a cat or fox doubtless. I thought it was quite beautiful in a macabre way. It's not often you get to see the irridescent feathers and brightly coloured beak close up, so here it is in all its grisly glory.</p>

<p>D700 + tamron 90mm AF macro. 1/400th @ f/9.</p><div></div>

<p>Looks like Nikon Wednesday #31, 2011 is a great start today. I have missed a couple of weeks being on vacation in Philadelphia area. <br>

I shot this Sunrise on the banks of the Delaware River in Bristol, PA. It is actually my 1st real attempt at doing one. I haven't tried a Sunset yet but I am sure that I will as I am hooked after taking this one. Of course I have seen sunrises but never looked at the beauty through a view finder and tried to capture one. The colors this morning were just stunning as so vivid.<br>

I used my Nikon D90, Sigma 30mm @ f10(AP), 1/13s, iso 200 - on Tripod<br>

Light editing using ACDSee Pro 4. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I.<br>

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

It's hard work being Harry. He's 5mo. old and teething. That didn't stop him from taking a dip in his pool and playing hard in the 30C heat. He needed a quick nap on cool cement before he could get back at it.</p><div></div>

[panayotis_papadopoulos]

<p>Hello fellow Nikonians. August is here and vacation time for some of us has just begun! Greece is most beautiful, sunny and colorful at the beaches this time of the year and I can't wait. Went for a swim and had the chance to shot a few shots. Nothing special, just people enjoying and relaxing by the sea. Take care!</p><div></div>

<p>In May I posted a picture of our then one-week-old granddaugher. Here she is at twelve weeks.</p>

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

<p>Thanks <strong>Larry G</strong> and <strong>Panayotis</strong> for liking and commenting on my last week's submission.</p>

<p>This week's image taken at South Boston Castle Island from last Thursday when went out with few friends. Taken in single RAW and converted into HDR (-2, 0, +2) to get the effect in orange clouds.</p>

<p>Nikon D90, Tamron 17-50 using Aperture f/4 1/80 ISO 400</p>

<p>Wonderful contributions today !! Thank you for commenting on my shot last week.<br>

I had the opportunity to photograph the dogs in training again. It is amazing to watch the dogs , but it is also something to see the handler and dog work as team.<br>

[heather_williams4]

<p>you all have something amazing to say before your pictures, about your travels and such. </p>

<p>I shot this whilst digging fossils (dog poop) from the desert (my back yard) just before crossing paths with the local tribe (my kids) :D</p>

<div></div>

[Matt Laur]

<p>I like the shot with the handler and his dog, Roberta. I <em>knew</em> you wouldn't be able to stop with just one (liked the retriever in the water, too). It's great subject matter - trust me that you can spend years exploring it, visually. Next thing you know, you'll be buying a blaze orange hat and vest.</p>

<p>Hi All,<br />Great shots as usual.<br />Mine is a green sea turtle shot from about ten feet away in Kauai Hawaii.<br />D90 55-200 lens<br />Doug</p><div></div>

<p>Eastern Kingbird mobbing Osprey<br />This was a very interesting behaviour as there were three Kingbirds dive-bombing the Osprey at its nest. Until the Osprey got fed up and flew around trying to loose them, however, one was persistent and kept up the attack in mid-air. Aggressive little guys during mating season!</p><div></div>

<p>Good morning everyone. </p><div></div>
