Nikon Wednesday 2012: #26

[ShunCheung]

<p>Black necked stilts, Nikon D800E with 500mm/f4 AF-S lens at f8, 1/500 sec, and ISO 200.</p>

<p>Since there were three birds, I stopped down further to f8 to make sure that I had more depth of field, hence I also increated the ISO to 200 to maintain a good shutter speed @ 1/500 sec. The lens was on a Gitzo 1325 tripod and Wimbeley head.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone!<br>

So, after much thought I decided that the D700 was a good addition to my kit. Arrived on Saturday and I am very pleased. Anyway, while wandering around figuring out my new toy, I came across this restored 1933 Ford BB Truck. B&W with sepia toning seemed appropriate.</p>

<p>Happy wednesday!<br>

Bashar - stellar action-shot!<br>

Here's a picture I've shot this monday for a paper - the weather was changing between heavy rain-showers and sunshine every hour.<br>

The „lake” in the foreground is a shallow puddle.</p>

<p>A new toy and a new joy: a F100 and shooting film again :-)</p><div></div>

<p>Vince--that black thing looks like a part of the front handgrip from a Canon A-1 or AE-1 camera...<br>

Or--maybe a moon rock---:-)<br>

Nikon D800E, 300mm f/4 AFS and 1.4x TC, ISO 640, f/8, 1/60, built in flash<br>

Taking a walk in the woods my daughter caught a toad. When she put him down on a tree stump I snapped a couple of pics of him. I had the camera already setup from some shots of damselflies I was shooting earlier. I continue to be amazed at how good the AF is on the D800E and how well the images hold detail. You can see the original pixels <a href="http://ldg.smugmug.com/Hikes-2012/624-Waterville-Cascades-and/23771656_gW6mtk#!i=1925625428&k=gfbsRk8">here</a>.</p>

<p>While setting up for a shoot last weekend, a fellow tog happily stood in while checking light. Sure wish I looked this good in front of the camera.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone! Exceptional photos this week, maybe the best ever? I especially enjoyed:<br>

Barry's Yosomite landscape<br>

Dieter's Maculele dancer<br>

Garcia's car<br>

Bashar's baseball players<br>

Tom's ship<br>

Roberta's dragonfly<br>

and Panayotis's ship</p>

<p>Another quiet week for me; so here's another from our trip to a holiday park the weekend before last. My daughter enjoying a "Canoe Capers" session :-)</p><div></div>

<p>I really hate being late to this party but long summer work hours prevent posting any earlier. Oh well. Lots of neighborhood flowers in S Florida. Went walking after an afternoon shower with my new D7000 and ran across these.</p>

<p>great work folks, here is mine from last weekend:</p><div></div>

[nsfbr]

<p>I'm going to try and start contributing to this thread on a regular basis - in part to help me deal with the agony of waiting for my D800E that I still have no delivery date for.</p>

<p>This is from earlier this month at the National Zoo in Washington - a frequent weekend destination for my family.</p><div></div>

<p>Paul -- A-1 it is -- nice. Great camera but in need of repair.... Which is just as well as I should be shooting my Nikons.</p>

[rodeo_joe1]

<p>Too late for me to post a picture this week, but I've got to ask. Elliot, is that spider wearing the stars and stripes?</p>

[User_5050610]

<p>Vince--thanks for the confirmation!<br>

I purchased an A-1 and it was missing that part..<br>

It is an interesting camera--ahead of its time in many ways.<br>

Thanks again.<br>

<p>WOW! Just had a look over the past 6 weeks worth of images. Impressive guys, really impressive stuff! Been working away with the new compact, an <a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=1034968">Olympus SZ-14</a>... it is cheeky to post on here having only passed the image through Capture NX or View NX. So Check out the link, Not a bad bit of kit for travelling. Meanwhile something from a few weeks back.<br>

<p>I have been cleaning my darkroom; there were loads of test prints I kept for nothing; my contri this week is just a scan of one of this prints.<br />It happened hundreds of years ago, when I still enjoyed a reasonable good mobility... I pointed my camera to my buddies on a huge local rock. I cannot remember the camara I used, but for sure it was either a F3, FM2 or even a 28Ti.</p>
