<p>Actually got the chance to get out & around town this past weekend. Ran into a number of festivals and found this young lady with her harp. Hope you enjoy it.</p><div></div>

<p>Hello, Nikonistas! Great bird shots from so many this week. Very nice Egrets from Paula and Jeff, and great Great Blues from Sebastian, and Dan's startling Road Runner, who appears to be searching for more desert habitat! I'm posting some less exotic feathered friends, but they're pretty in their Impressionistic spring palette.</p><div></div>

<p>Here's a shot of a flower, taken on an overcast day a couple of weeks ago. This is not the picture that I had intended on uploading tonight, but the one I wanted to share somehow didn't make it on to the flash drive I brought to work with me. :-(</p><div></div>

<p>Three days in a row this eagle would land on this chimney to watch for fish in the lake behind the house. While he sat there two to three birds would bombard him constantly. Was alot of fun to watch. Nikon 300 2.8, Nikon TC-20E III, 600mm, F/11, 1/320 sec, ISO 400</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesdy!</p>

<p>Matt, looks like fun..... but point the camera at 'sensible adults'? Naw..... but this shoot was one big party</p>

<p>Here is little Jack misappropriating some lighting equipment (maybe that's why the background was not lit so well?)</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday. Nice shots Jose, Simon, Robert ...<br>

No people doing ridiculous things, but I felt a little silly getting wet for this one. ;)</p>

<p>Seems this thread has gone to the birds! Mine is from this past weekend at our local Vida Verde festival. Jonothan Woods and his Birds of Prey were there to educate people about their hunting skills, as well as their efforts to exist in today's world. Some aren't as successful as others, like this American Bald Eagle. It was hit by a car while descending on a rabbit. It's wing is permanently damaged so can't fly. We don't have them this far south, so it is always a treat to see one. (Thank you <em>Michael Carter</em> and <em>Chris Wick</em> for your comments on the B-25 last week. :) (D7000/Sigma 150@1/80, f/7.1, ISO 400)</p>

<p>Haven't posted in a while. Good to see so many great shots as usual. Here's a Tern with a beak full or breakfast.</p><div></div>

<p>Bird day. Okay.</p><div></div>

[krisheylen]

<p>Happy Wednesday y'all!!</p>

<p>Last monday we celebrated Sant Jordi (San Jorge, Saint George), Catalonia's patron. Traditionally, a rose is given to the woman you love. The legend says that a red rose grew from the blood of the dragon that Saint George killed to rescue the princess.</p>

<p>Men are gifted a book, as the day coincides with the worldwide literature day. All the streets in Catalonia are filled that day with colourful stands selling books and roses.</p>

<p>D90 with Tamron 17-50 f/2.8, SB-600 and SB-80DX.<br>

<p>Good Nikon Wednesday morning to all. Some great shots today. Wonderful bird shots. Jose Angel I love that back lit shot.<br>

My shot today is my dog Lexie doing what she loves to do. Giving everyone a shower after she comes out of the lake.</p>

<p>Hi there, <br>

here's a picture of a young man doing ridiculous things just for me/my camera/the newspaper.<br>

This young soccer-player will leave his hometown for a well-known soccer-club.<br>

I've shot this to illustrate a story about his possible career.<br>

Small Softbox with SB-800 (manual at about 1/8 or 1/16) to add a bit of spice, I was laying on the grass and a fellow soccer-player throw a few balls.<br>

It was fun for all involved.</p>

<p>My image this week is of me showing off my new "aluminum" print at a local gallery. The image of me was taken with Nikon D300 with Nikon 18-70mm lens. ISO 200 f11 @ 1/2 second, using the self timer. The print was taken with a Nikon D200 with 18-70 mm lens. The D200 was converted by Lifepixels to B&W IR.</p><div></div>

<p>I'm not sure how sensible the guys shown below were, but their mock mediaeval fight looked as if it might get out of hand at one point. Taken at a celebration of St. George's Day in England last Weekend.<br>

D700 + Tamron SP VC 70-300mm.</p><div></div>

<p>Taken on a walk one evening...I never manage to get very far on my walks when I have my camera.</p><div></div>
