Matt Laur Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Important: please keep your image under 1000 pixels on the longest side for in-line viewing, and please keep the FILE SIZE UNDER 300kb. Note that this includes photos hosted off-site (at Flickr, Photobucket, your own site, etc). Are you new to this thread? The general guidelines for these Wednesday threads are right here:http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00W7km. This forum's moderators are allowing up to three Nikon Wednesday images per week, so share some work! A completely non-photographic project had me at unloading a bunch of network-related equipment and tools outside a local farm's machine shop the other day. This young lady really had to keep an eye on me for some reason. So we had a chat, and a snapshot or two. Even the local cows know when it's Nikon Wednesday. Join in! 5

Matthew Currie Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 I was out looking for something in one of the outbuildings and thought it made an interesting abstraction. 4
Matthew Currie Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 Speaking of abstraction, here's a boiler from Grytviken Bay on South Georgia (which is now a whaling museum). 5
Matthew Currie Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 On the local front, sad news: Oliver the camel died. It's a mixed occasion, as Oliver was a favorite piece of the scenery in Ferrisburgh, but at the same time I like living in a place where the passing of a camel made the top of the radio news for two days straight. 5

Andrew Garrard Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 I'm traditionally late for Wednesday, and it's been a while, but since Varsity sports came up I'm obliged to share a photo from last weekend. Here's the President of Cambridge University Tiddlywinks Club getting a wink in the pot. Would have looked better if she were playing yellow, but it is what it is. D850, Sigma 40mm at f/2.8, tweaked in Photoshop because I was rushing into position and there was some shake to fix. You may be able to tell why I normally try to blur the background away, but at least my timing wasn't too bad... 1
mike_halliwell Posted March 7, 2020 Posted March 7, 2020 (edited) OK, Mike, what is the story behind this capture? Great shot! The 'venue' is here Home - Hawk Conservancy Trust ...and it's during one of the flying displays. They'd been flying some big noisy boisterous vultures and to emphasise the silent flight of owls let this Milky Eagle Owl in. (He's called Tolkien) Verreaux's eagle-owl - Wikipedia It glided over most peoples heads while they were either chimping or just looking around through the lens. I was on the other side of the arena and could see what was happening, and I'd been many times before. Anyone visiting the South of England, (the Trust is about 5 miles from Stonehenge), would find lots to challenge their photographic skills.....;) Edited March 7, 2020 by mike_halliwell

You captured the moment perfectly.
