<p> This battle was going on in my back yard. This red tail hawk was trying to catch this squirrel and the squirrel was trying to scarce him away from his nest. Was very funny to watch and photograph. The squirrel knew just how close he could get without getting caught. The hawk finally gave up. Nikon D3X, Nikon 300 2.8, Nikon TC-20E III, 600mm, F/5.6, 1/320 sec, ISO 640, <br /></p><div></div>

<p>Some great shots today. I went to an open house at our local veterinary hospital and it was fun with games for the kids, food, and a demonstration by the Ashland County Sheriff's Office K-9 Team. <br>

I call this photo, "Ummm this tastes much better than that puppy chow"</p><div></div>

<p>Hello Nikon-loving fans,<br>

As I practice more with painting with light, I caught this at a park before a firworks show. Young person had a light-up sword toy, and with some good moves on his part and a little exposure time on my part, made for interesting results.</p><div></div>

<p>I thought I'd stumbled into Week #33 after seeing Bob Dein and Matthew Vesci's photos. Both are memorable shots along with many others today. Hope all of our friends on the Gulf Coast of Issac's path are staying safe! Today's contribution is a Blue and Gold Macaw (D7000/300mm f/4@1/500, f/5.6, ISO 400):</p>

<p>It has been a few weeks since I have contributed something to Wednesday Pics, but while on vacation I saw this South Carolina Writing Spider on my in-laws backyard. It looks very intimidating.</p><div></div>

<p>Great shots, especially <strong>Garcia, Bob, Elliott, Rick, Peter, Jim.</strong><br>

<strong><br /></strong>I can't seem to stop shooting these guys.</p>

<p>This is a streetable drag race car seen at last week's Woodward Dream Cruise. There's a nitrous oxide bottle where the back seat used to be. The car cruises on pump premium, but when racing it sips super-high octane racing gas from the auxiliary tank on the front bumper. Having the auxiliary tank out front lets the g-force during hard acceleration help push fuel toward the engine rather than hindering it.</p>

<p>D700, 24-70 @ 24mm, ISO 200, 1/2500 @ f/4.</p><div></div>

Got to try my hand at motor sports photography this past weekend for the first time. My keeper ratio is pathetic but I thought this one turned out pretty well. It was a WERA event at Nelson Ledges Road Course in Ohio.<div></div>

<p>Here is a flower for the week. Enjoy.</p><div></div>

<p>"Moby" here kept knocking on the patio door. 3" long, this is the first Cecropia moth caterpillar we've seen here. It was a good chance to see how the new D800 does using the 24-85 VR Nikkor. Still getting used to LR-4 and have issues with pixelation in processed D800 images. Any tips on working with these huge-o D800 files will be appreciated.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi all. I mainly shoot people but this little guy caught my attention a couple of weeks ago at our family cottage.</p><div></div>

<p>Mammoth skull. I'm so impressed with the high ISO capabilities of the D700, this was shot at 2500 ISO. And also, I am addicted to VR now. :)</p><div></div>
