Remember: only one image each week!</p> </blockquote> <p>A good Wednesday to everyone, and a hope that you've been out, Nikon gear in hand, making photos. I was inspired by a <a href="../photography-lighting-equipment-techniques-forum/00a1Aj"><strong>recent thread</strong></a> started by PN member David Fred. He was exploring the work of fellow UK photographer Matthew Seed, who does some striking strobe-lit outdoor equine scenes. I don't keep horses, but I do have dogs ... so out I went to work on an in-the-woods scene with my faithful canine subjects.<br /><br />The idea was to go for that sliver-of-sunlight-in-the-woodsy-clearing look. I used a Buff Einstein at full throttle (640WS) in a gridded beauty dish up on a 13-foot light stand. That makes a pretty bright, but nicely constrained puddle of light. With that power over the afternoon light, I was able to use a high enough shutter speed, and stop down enough, to create a nice dark wooded environment with a fairly well-lit dog. <br /><br />Has another photographer's handiwork had you stand up, grab your gear, and give it a go? Share a photo!</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann_overland Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Goodmorning Nikonians! Thank you very much for the commenting on my picture last week. This week‘s picture is of a dandelion seed in a red tomato. Yes, I put him there myself. No, I don’t know where that idea came from. The seed was full of hope and singing merrily “Fly me to the moooon….” when I found him. And off course he got very sad when he ended up in a red tomato here on earth. But soon he was in a good mood again, and he even posed in front of the camera. He acted like a true professional dandelion seed. A joy to work with.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefflipsman Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Riding the lip at Rincon. I'm really looking forward to the D800. This is just a stretch for 12MP with the D700. Even with 550mm I always have to crop to tighten the shot. The D800 will be the next best thing to putting on a wetsuit.<br> <br /> Great shot Matt! Wonderful lighting.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jose_rivera9 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>I always enjoy the animal shots. Waiting for warmer weather to get some good portraits of my rat terrier. This shot was taken at the NYHS. These are items that belonged to slaves left along the Underground RR. Amazing.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orourke Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Hello all. First off, thank you Ann Overland for your comment on my Ducks photo of last week. This week's submission is from the same roll. After taking the shot of the ducks I turned to head back to the truck and found this image had been waiting behind me all along! I liked the way the willows in the background added a bit of drama and depth. Hope it strikes you as well as it did me. Cheers, and happy wednesday!<br> Nikon F4/75-300af</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtmixon Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 <p>Happy Wednesday. I've had a photographic dry spell recently, due to a string of illnesses in our household that have kept me indoors and tending noses more than I'd like. But we did make it to a wedding recently, and while I didn't take many photos (didn't want to interfere with the hired photographer), I did take a few that I sent on to the couple. This one is the one "artistic' shot of the set, taken during the ceremony. I was in my seat (holding my son), but felt compelled to capture the light through the bride's veil before she and the light moved on.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
