Nikon Wednesday 2013: #34

[r1a2d3ok]

<p>My wife and I got to spend some time in NY city 2 weeks ago. We visited the 9/11 Memorial. Very sad to see all those names carved in granite. This woman spent a long time at this spot. Nikon D3, Nikon 28-300 3.5, F/5.0, 1/100 sec, ISO 2,000</p><div></div>

<p>After a bit of pencil sharpening I decided to spring for the Nikkor 70-200/2.8 VR II. Then I had to take a couple of shots to test, right? So here is the 100% crop of the tree I chose, taken from the distance of 175 feet hand-held. Wish I could show the actual resolution, but to do that, Photo Net would have to allow file sizes way bigger than the 300K limit. D800, ISO 1200, 200mm, f/11, 1/200. [WOW]</p><div></div>

<p>A happy wednesday everyone!<br>

Lotsa great contributions so far, my personal favorites include Jeff's Star-field and Norman's double-portrait. <br>

I've had some fun with a 35 years old Fisheye-Nikkor and expired Agfa-film:<br>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone!</p>

<p>Sorry for not contributing for a few weeks; we've had the builders in, and I must confess to losing my photographic motivation a bit. I have been enjoying looking at all your contributions though.</p>

<p>This week I particularly love Jeff's night shot, Bill's kitten and Georg's black and white boats.</p>

<p>Here are a couple of shots of my daughter taken in a wheat field near our home. Hope you like them :-)</p><div></div>

<p>And secondly, a two shot HDR........</p><div></div>

<p>Picked up a really nice F4 (my first) last week, and wanted to test the manual focus indicator in the viewfinder. I used a 50mm F/1.2 wide open and focused on Rachel's left eye. Pretty impressed, and probably more accurate than my organic focusing methods!<br /><br />Notice the partial heterochromia iridum in her left eye too. First time I've seen that. Cool, but a little freaky.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.djcphoto.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/rach_blog.jpg" alt="" /></p>

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

Here are some flowers in Bink's garden.</p><div></div>

[DawsonPointers]

<p>This creature is protecting them. </p><div></div>

[DawsonPointers]

<p>And here is a close up of the flower protector. It doesn't charge for its services. What a relief!</p><div></div>

<p>Greetings on a lovely Wednesday morning.</p>

<p>We have a neighbour who tends to drop by unexpectedly for dinner. He helps himself to whatever's available ...</p><div></div>
