<p>The mornings here in the mid-Atlantic area are starting to feel like autumn. Our local whitetail deer population has been out grazing down everything that's still green, putting on some insulation for when the really cold air hits in a couple of months. The bucks are getting more and more bold, too, as the rut approaches. I've been watching this guy out our back window since he showed up with velvet on his rack just over a month ago.<br /><br />He's wary, and I have to keep my distance. But I've been able to walk up on him, if I keep the body language right. We have an understanding (it involves me not having my dogs along when I try to photograph him). Still it's always in awful dawn or dusk light, which asks as much as I can squeeze out of the D300. Do you and your Nikon gear have an elusive subject that pushes gear limits? Share a photo!</p><div>00ZSNa-405913784.jpg.433db4a2396fff575bd367b9c5ecd180.jpg</div>

<p>I found this lady in the garden as I was out looking for bees. She's a bit over three inches long and looks as if she's going to lay eggs soon. D80, 105mm 1:2.8G Micro Nikkor, 1/90s @f/8, ISO 200. I do love this lens. Thanks for looking.<br /> Jim</p><div>00ZSNq-405919684.jpg.60b6e2945f58ca4577ecb9ae97cae6de.jpg</div>

<p>Wednesday again already! I must say I'm loving these Wednesday threads now that I'm following them again. Some really inspirational work to be seen every single week.</p>

<p>Thank you to Alan, Martin and Apurva for their comments on my doggy pic last week.</p>

<p>Here we have the result of some bored mucking around in Photoshop. Not art, but a fun way to pass a quiet hour or so.</p><div>00ZSNx-405923684.jpg.80bf804c36b910791ff296f927e6baaf.jpg</div>

<p>WoW Dieter! The Rhine Moselle Slate Whirlpool looks massively cool. And great shots by everyone to start the thread.<br>

Down and out! Two years ago while in Sydney I experienced one of those days where the sun produced a lethal burn that caused anything alive to melt. It was seriously hot when I came across this bird which was almost down and out. The radiant heat off the camera felt like a blow dryer against my face when I looked through the viewfinder. Every time I look at this shot it takes me back to that day and the heat ... and that famous poem "My Country" by Dorothea MacKellar (born in Sydney in 1883 and died in 1968) "I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains ..."<br>
