<p>A good Nikon Wednesday to everyone, and hoping that those in the US had a pleasant Memorial Day weekend. While a lot of people were taking the day off from work, I kept up with some very hard working farmers, continuing with a documentary project that's pretty much all video work. But I still hit the normal shutter button once in a while, even if it's just a way of doing some visual note-taking.<br /><br />This first shot is a focal test while I rigged up to get as close as possible for a moving sequence as a big powered hay rake zoomed by, kicking up all manner of stuff to get on my lens and in my nose. Definitely keep your hands and feet away from the hay rake! <br /><br />What did the weekend have in store for you? Share!<br /><br /><br /></p><div></div>

<p>Some local boys and their hard-working farm dog were mesmerized by the proceedings. Well, the dog was actually trying to herd the tractors until his mom called him off. Good dog.</p><div></div>

<p>For some of the video work, I suction-cupped a D3200 to the rear glass in one of the tractors, the better to get some over-the-shoulder video as the operator drove the tractor pulling the hay rake.</p><div></div>

<p>I took a walk in the woods at my favorite location to see if I could capture what is left of the flowering spring.<br>

I named this image "Stairway to Paradise".</p><div></div>

<p>Environmental portraits of some folks I met and chattered with while admiring the late afternoon light outside a neighborhood shopping center. These strip malls may not look like much at first glance but the right light makes all the difference. All with Nikon V1 and 10-30 VR. <br>

<p>Morning all. I didn't shoot anything interesting over the past week so I'm revisiting my past instead.</p><div></div>

<p>Popped in to my local botanic garden on the Bank Holiday, to check out the season's progress - plant and animal.</p><div></div>

[peteraitch]

<p>Tried out my new lens - still learning to use it...</p><div></div>

<p>Watching this red bellied woodpecker build a nest. Nikon D3X, Nikon 300 2.8, Nikon TC-14E II, 420MM, 1/3200 sec, F/4, ISO 400</p><div></div>

<p>Another shot just to clarify which one was the State flower. They're called Indian Head Blankets.</p><div></div>

<p>Concert at the San Francisco Symphony with Music Director Michael Tilson Thomas (MTT) and pianist Yuja Wang. We had a thread on concert photography a few weeks ago. I found some opportunity between pieces to capture this image, when Thomas was holding a microphone to address the audience.</p>

<p>I was a bit surprised that Yuja Wang was reading the score on an iPad, not a traditional paper music score. However, they still had a dedicated person to touch the iPad every so often to "flip the page." There was no remote control.</p>

<p>Nikon D800E with 85mm/f1.4 AF-S at f2, 1/160 sec and ISO 1600. The silent mode on the D800E helped a lot.</p><div></div>

<p>I developed some B&W film last week, for the first time in forty-plus years. Both rolls came out well. This is a cable bracket on a 19th century stone railroad bridge in town.</p><div></div>
