Nikon Wednesday 2013: #23

<p>Happy Wed. all. My simple pleasure is to go to one of my favorite parks, Great Falls National Park, VA side. Tried to get to a slow speed by stacking filters, Pol., ND, etc. Worked but softened the details too much.</p><div></div>

<p>A local Detroit TV station is bringing back the popular 1970s show, Bowling for Dollars. This is pro bowling superstar, Aleta Sill, waiting to tape her special guest segment for the pilot episode.</p>

<p>Strong backlighting, obviously, with TV lights actually in the frame (though cropped out here) and thus a good deal of flare.</p><div></div>

<p>I went to this location in Southern California for the first time last Saturday. I love this courtyard layout. Unfortunately, I was there around noon time and could only stay for a short while, so the lighting was far from ideal. Hopefully I'll get to visit again some other time, early in the morning.</p>

<p>Nikon D800E with the new 18-35mm/f3.5-4.5 AF-S @ 26mm, f11, 1/160 and ISO 100</p><div></div>

<p>Nikon F3 + Nikon 24/2. <br /> This took place by the Akashi Castle moat last Sunday.</p><div></div>

<p>I had the simple pleasure of watching this snowy egret hunt for breakfast. The rising Mississippi River is allowing the water to flow through the spillway, bringing all kinds of food to the birds and other critters in the area. <br>

All shot with the D800 and 500mm .</p>

<p>Hope you enjoy.</p>

<p>First you've got to spot your meal</p>

<p>Then you have to catch it</p>

But you always have to be on guard for what lurks just feet from you and the photographer so you don't become the meal !<br>

<p>First the pigeons got in on it, then the swan, then the turtles and the carp. The Akashi Castle moat has a lot of residents. My F3 was equipped with a motor drive.</p><div></div>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone, mine are from a dance recital, setting all the way in the back of the theatre, I was shocked that any came out.</p><div></div>

<p>Good Day Everyone, Mine for the week is of my granddaughter playing by herself while waiting for dinner; I don't know which of us is having the greater pleasure.</p><div></div>

[peteraitch]

<p>Some really interesting shots here; I'm coming quite late to the party based on UK time.<br>

I haven't done any street/candid stuff for a long time, but here's one taken last week during a quick City Break in Denmark.</p><div></div>

<p>Forgot the multi-post thing: here's another (with a touch of PS)</p><div></div>
