<p>A good Nikon Wednesday to all. A busy week, pleasantly interrupted by the need to shoot a just-off-the-jewelry-artist's-bench commissioned item before she delivered it to her customer.<br /><br />In a bit of a time crunch, I grabbed a stick of driftwood and the cushion from a leather chair. With an SB-900 in the hot shoe providing bounced fill from the room (pointing backwards over my shoulder), and an SB600 as a CLS slave providing some backlighting, this was about conveying the heft and texture of the etched silver piece. So, careful reflection management involved ... a piece of paper out of the printer.<br /><br />The 60/2.8 Micro (the D version, not the newer G) did just fine - plenty of detail and a good working distance. The composition is built around what you <em>don't</em> see in this version - a logo and some text will wind up in the lower-right dark area. Another case of the art direction/requirements driving the shot. What's everyone been shooting? Share!</p><div></div>

<p>I've not been able to go shooting a lot of late, but Sunday I went out a little while with a friend. The birds were not too willing to be subjects though so I only got these to share...<br>

I call the group "Watchful Eyes", "Cute & Cuddly" & lastly - "Hard As Nails" - - I'm sure you can figure which is which....<br>

Shot with the D300 & the 300mm f/4 AF-S - Shutter Priority 1/1250s, ISO 800 as they're shot handheld in impossible lighting & positions ;) -1/3 EV<br>

I hope you'll enjoy & looking forward to all your shares<br>

<p>I am yet to tire from well over a decade of dragging lots of Nikon gear around the world. <br /> Recent visit to the North Island of New Zealand - Hokianga Harbour mouth at Omapere on the windy west coast. A single shot with plenty of dodge tool in PS and Active D lighting set to 'normal' on my D700</p><div></div>

[tony_demonte]

<p>sorry. I forgot to make the image smaller.</p>

<p>admin, sorry. I made the pic much smaller than required, I don't know why it isn't showing</p>

<p><img src="/photo/17194992" alt="" />Good morning to everyone and I am appreciating some very fine images so far. Mine is from yesterday in parc St.Catherine in Quebec. It is a slow exposure of a fairly fast moving St.Lawrence river water. I did not have my ND filter with me so I used the lowest ISO and a very small aperture to get the slow shutter speed. The sun had just set.</p><div></div>

<p>Out shooting the new spring growth in the nearby park. Dogwood flowers are one of the first flowering trees in the east US and one of my favorites. I like the shape they take as they are just beginning to open.</p><div></div>
