Nikon Wednesday 2012: #21

<p>The little Nikon 18-55mm DX VR lens also works well on 35mm film cameras I have found (when using a 16:9 format crop). I used it that way for this evening photo over the Brid valley in Dorset.</p><div></div>

<p>I was in a dilemma whether to post the entire peacock or a facial close-up. Hope I made the right choice</p><div></div>

<p>Nice work everyone. Steven and Lorne, let's all say it: Aaaawww..... :)</p>

<p>I waited until dusk for the bright aggressive sunlight to be over for this shot, only to be bitten by several mosquitoes - despite bug spray - during its making. Who said flower photography was not hazardous?</p><div></div>

<p>Early morning fog has always been a lighting challenge for me. With some shadow recovery, I was able to get this scene to look like what I saw this past Sunday morning. (D90/70-300mm@70mm - 1/250, f/9, ISO 250)</p>

<p>Good morning to all. Some very nice shots today. We spent the weekend in Lexington, Va. for our Grand daughters wedding. I took this photo of part of the Washington & Lee campus.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi to everyone on Wednesday</p><div></div>

[andy_chubb]

<p>A little bit of challenging light - a shoot of a hydraulic shackle and associated components the other weekend which needed to be on a bright-white backdrop but was situated in a large factory - combining daylight from the o/head skylights and strobes. I loved the chance to treat a 1-ton piece of metal as a 'model' - much easier to handle than most folks at an event. D700, 24-70, lumen8 strobes</p><div></div>

Georg, I must be one of the few people in the world that soccer bores the pants off of, but I'm pretty sure that debagging isn't allowed in the rules!</p>

<p>Caught this surrealistic moment at a performance by CIRCA, an Australian acrobatics/dance troupe.<br>

D700 @ 1600 ISO + Tamron SP 70-300mm; 1/200th, f/5.6.</p><div></div>

<p>After thoroughly cleaning herself in our backyard pond, it's time to dry off. I intentionally used a slower shutter speed for her rapidly moving wings.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Morning to all,<br /> On a recent Camera Club field trip I came across this Indian Pink Flower and I really loved it as it looks like a torch.<br /> Shot in Mermit Lake area in southern Illinois. Nikon D 90, Sigma 70-200 @ 135mm, f4.0, 1/40 sec, iso 400 on tripod.<br /> phil b<br /> benton, ky</p><div></div>

<p>Always double ck your DoF when switching from people many feet away to "things" a couple of feet away! I forgot to do so, left the lens set at f/4, and now, even with some sharpening in post, I can't use this shot. Arghhh!</p><div></div>

[wmervine]

<p>No lighting nightmares for a change, just a handy white ceiling to bounce flash off.<br>

Fun family photo.</p><div></div>
