<p><strong><em>Important:</em></strong> please keep your image under 700 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and <em><strong>please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb</strong></em>. Note that <strong>this includes photos hosted off-site</strong> (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc).<br /><br />Are you <strong>new to this thread?</strong> The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are <strong><a href="/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km" rel="nofollow">right here</a></strong>:<a href="/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km" rel="nofollow">http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km</a>. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three images per week, so share some work!</p>

</blockquote>

<p>At this point pretty much everybody has had to consider how to make a photograph work in the context of a web design or into the inevitable long horizontal banner area of a social media page header. It's so common now with some of even the simplest projects I work on, that when I'm standing there talking with the client, we're looking around for things that will become backgrounds over which profile shots and other graphics will inevitably be placed. Nothing new: it's art direction during the shoot. But these banner formats, which will be behind other elements, can sometimes defy normal composition.<br /><br />A good Nikon Wednesday to all, and if anybody's got some shots that were made from the get-go to fit into a typical social media header, it would be interesting to see them. Otherwise: take us around the world as always, Nikon people. Share some photos!</p><div></div>

<p>As last Sunday was nice weather we took a walk over the fields to a local pub for lunch. It is really nice to walk to set up an appetite and see all the secret corners of the countryside that the car can't reach. Ancient footpaths wander along the valley and eventually you find yourself looking across the graveyard to the pub. That is often the way - pubs and churches are right next to each other.</p><div></div>

<p>On finding yourself inside, make a choice of the refreshing cellar cool ales.</p><div></div>

[Ian Rance]

<p>After your drink has been poured you can either drink it inside (where you can hear the quiet chat of other pubgoers) or into the garden where the smell of warm fields and country sounds compliment a ploughmans lunch.</p><div></div>

<p>Still loving using the D7200 & kit lens. Here's a quite heavily cropped 1600 ISO shot of country/blues guitarist Chris Smither at Cambridge Folk Festival.</p><div></div>

<p>It was a hot and hazy weekend here. I was tempted to use the dehaze feature in Lr on these images; but, the haze was part of the story.<br>

Folks enjoyed the lake to try to beat the heat. No canopy on the boat? No problem!</p><div></div>

<p>My first attempt at focus stacking using PS. <br /> These Tiger Moth caterpillars are devouring a milkweed plant I had hoped would attract Monarch Butterflies. The image is a compilation of 9 separate shots. I used an AF-S 105 VR mounted on a D800E atop a Gitzo CF tripod. I just twisted the focus a tiny bit from one end of the branch to the other. I was amazed at the final image because none of these guys were standing still. They were all moving.</p><div></div>

<p>Two-image panorama-stitch from 2009 - reprocessed and converted to B&W with SilverEfex. D200 with 20/4 Ai (that's what the EXIF states - but it could have been the 28/2.8 AiS). (You can click on the image to see a larger version of it on flickr).<br /> <a title="Version 4" href=" data-flickr-embed="true"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/746/20716757611_da7a6e4739_z.jpg" alt="Version 4" width="640" height="238" /></a></p>
