<p>I keep telling the vendors and artists at outdoor markets to get their priorities straight and to use white canopy cloth for their outdoor booths so that wandering photographers will have more and better light when recording what they do. Alas, photographers are less important to them than their customers. Where's the respect for the arts?<br /><br />Still, I found an artist hard at work (under a blue tent!). She also does birthday parties at $75 per hour. Had your Nikon gear out under likewise hostile lighting conditions? Share a photo!</p><div></div>

<p>This week’s solar eclipse shot through highly reflective Mylar. You can see sunspots to the right of center on the sun’s surface.</p><div></div>

<p>A bit of 'Color Sketch' applied - the shrimp boat was on Choctawhatchee Bay off of Okaloosa Island in NW Florida-USA.</p><div></div>

<p>Lots of shades of white to deal with. I often overexpose the feathers as a result.</p><div></div>

<p>Just happened to see this lizard catch the roach while shooting Butterflies. Nikon D3X, Sigma 150 2.8, SS 1/60sec, F/9, ISO 100, Flash 1-SB-900 2-SB-200</p><div></div>

<p>Took an oldie from my files and reworked it a little. This was shot with my D50 with the 18-55 kit lense on Combate Beach, Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. What caught my eye was the anti drug patrol FURA and the young man who is looking to jump off the pier.</p><div></div>

<p>Not really hostile lighting ... just sunlight and shade</p><div></div>

<p>I got a chance to visit the Cloisters Museum in New York recently. It was donated by John D. Rockefeller Jr, and contains lots of Medieval art. The building itself was built in the 1930s, but is styled after Medieval architecture. This particular shot is just a car coming down the driveway at closing time, but it feels like something more ominous --- straight out of a James Bond movie. Enjoy. =)</p><div></div>

<p>I am working with the woods surrounding my property at different times of the day and how the light works with the trees (hence the background)...this was taken in the late evening. I watched the sun go down and hit the flowers just right from my kitchen window and then went out to shoot. I am happy with the results and the flowers are a pretty bonus. </p><div></div>

<p>Thank you very much for the kind comments on my last week's photo. This week one from my latest session with Miss Burlesque Queensland 2011, Coppelia Jane.<br>

<p>Good... <em>morning?</em> Renê, and everybody!<br /> Fed up with digital, I come back to my origins.<br /> <br /> <img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bipop42F8jU/T7wJFcOx2zI/AAAAAAAAAHI/R3eiN6SaNuk/s1600/nwp212012.jpg" alt="" width="563" height="700" /></p>

<p>Like Bogdan, I was out in the woods with a film Nikon -- not my F3HP but the F100. This is from about 20 (of 38 waiting at start) rolls of film I developed this weekend. I've only scanned a bit of it yet. This one is an April picture of my young son (I have three grown ones too). He's pretending the wee tree trunk is a firehouse pole....</p><div></div>

<p>Zombie walk in Helsinki on Saturday ;-)</p><div></div>

<p>Happy wednesday!<br>

Here's a soccer-shot from saturday. The ball is a bit too far away, but overall I like the picture. </p><div></div>

<p>This one is a two photo stack though could also have been done as one. </p><div></div>

[mark_mitchell5]

<p>Happy Wednesday to all. Well, for me, this photo did present some lighting issues, though not hostile lighting. Lots of sun and shadows all around that day.</p><div></div>
