<p>My contribution wasn't made in the last days, but I find it interesting nevertheless. So I hope you'll find it interesting too.<br>

Camera used was Nikon D300s, the lens was Ai-S Nikkor 400mm f/3.5 ED-IF with TC 301 (2x) plus PN11 extension tube. So the effective focal lens equivalent was 1200mm and the distance was about 2,5 m (about 8ft). I used a tripod with gimball head.<br>

Exposure data: f/16, 1/400s, ISO 1600.<br>

The picture shows this combo can be used even for "macro" shots. And for the high ISO value it is not so bad.</p>

<p>Good morning to all. I have to agree with Matt, many weather swings in the past couple weeks here in Ohio. My shot is a back lit stained glass window in the wine room at the Homestead Resort in Hot Springs, Va. Shot through a clear glass door window. The wine room was locked, (darn it).</p>

<p>And now, the same camera, the same lens with the extension tube but without the TC. In the left corner is the 100% pixel level insert of the frog's eye.<br /> Exposure data: f/8, 1/500 s, ISO 800.<br /> This picture is understandably even better, hope you'll like it.</p><div>00bISW-517001584.jpg.c73b240525de80433854f3727db456c5.jpg</div>

<p>Greetings from the depths of northern Ontario:<br>

I hear you, Matt, about the thermal roller coaster. It was -40 this time last week and 0C now with 1cm of rain so far this morning. It's supposed to return to -17C tonight with 15cm of blowing snow. All thanks to a Colorado low. Harry and Hattie are not pleased.<br>

It was -6C and sunny on Saturday: nice conditions for the ice fishers. This is a small group out at the sand bar. The water is about 6m deep here and the ice thick enough to support heavy vehicles.</p><div>00bISf-517005684.jpg.abf52ba841eab0ad0cea26ae715ff084.jpg</div>

<p>Some really wonderful shots, but I do wish the multiple shots from a single poster would be entered as a single post and not multiple posts. It breaks up the "flow" of a story if someone else enters something in between. Maybe a tutorial for posting multiple shots in one post could be added to the instruction for posting page.</p>

<p>Anyway, my out of the ordinary shot is a camel I saw this past Sat. I wasn't expecting to see exotic wildlife while driving a back road, but with the 90+ degree weather we've been having, seeing a camel seemed to be fitting. ;) (D7000, Nikon 500mm@1/1250, f7.1, ISO 400)</p>

<p>Good Morning Wednesday :)</p>

<p>This weekend I shot "Pennies" which my son was arranging it on his chair. Light was coming in from the french door and I liked it... so started taking few pictures. Here is one using Tamron 90mm on D600, hand-held was about to go out and family was shouting to hurry up :)</p>

<p>As usual there so many nice and different images... enjoying it.</p><div>00bITV-517015584.jpg.312daac32e33ba7d698f45c25edb202f.jpg</div>

<p>There is an open field not far from where I live. Every winter, we have these wild flowers there and after a few weeks, they would mow it all down. So I need to get there at the right time to catch the peak.</p>

<p>In this case I used the 24mm/3.5 PC-E to tilt it so that the foreground and background are all in focus, at f8 on the D800E at ISO 100, 1/100 sec. I use live view to help adjust the amount of tilt so that everything is in focus.</p><div>00bITn-517017584.jpg.214b38bbbc0b5234d5ef431b5762fd09.jpg</div>

<p>These past few days have been trying out the new to me refurbished D800 I just purchased.</p>

<p>Must say I am loving this camera. Fantastic auto focus !</p>

<p>Bogdan, nice shots of the fishermen. I liked Harvey's bluebirds as well! We never get colorful birds at our feeder - well, except cardinals and bluejays. And Lex, what a great series. LOVE to hear any good news in this big bad world of ours.</p>

<p>Mine today is a huge disappointment. Metering failed, camera scratched up the negatives, but Photoshop and stubbornness gave me some small success in restoring it.</p><div>00bITy-517019584.jpg.be298f6215c8fe30ab7cd7095c71f4eb.jpg</div>
