Matt Laur Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 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! Another week in, and it's more camera-around-the-house time. In this case, a clear sky and a big full moon popped out last night. Since official Nikon Wednesday Shelter In Place Corona Virus Rules say you're now allowed up to FOUR moon posts per year, I'm taking advantage. What's everyone else up to? Macro shots of stuff in that kitchen drawer? Finally retouching that high school reunion gallery? Anything will do! Stay safe out there, and share some photos. 5

ShunCheung Posted April 8, 2020 Posted April 8, 2020 Spring, and unfortunately, also COVID-19, is in the air. It is hummingbird season season again. That 500mm/f5.6 PF lens comes in handy. 4

Matthew Currie Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Losing track of time and way behind on pictures. Got nearly stranded waiting for a flight home from an aborted Patagonia trip, but while waiting for flight out from Falklands, we did rendezvous with NG Explorer, which helped see us through the wait.... 3
bgelfand Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 What's in those packages? Paper towels? Toilet paper? (So that's where it all went :-) ) 2
mike_halliwell Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 Toilet paper? So you wipe your butt on (the) Elite, how egalitarian... Not!

tom_kotzur Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 What's in those packages? Paper towels? Toilet paper? (So that's where it all went :) ) ..I haven't been able to find any on shelves for 2 weeks....guess I will have to get in line and wait for the store to open.....
bgelfand Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 So you wipe your butt on (the) Elite, how egalitarian... Not! No, I use Charmin (from Costco). :-) Those packages of rolls of something look very much like either rolls of paper towels or toilet paper as sold at Costco. The other packages in the boat look like canned goods of some sort. A quick Bing search for Elite and Paper Products turns up everything from photo paper to paper towels, tissue, and bath tissue (toilet paper).

This little one was just 2m away from me! Very nice image. Great detail, good colors, and with the branch on a diagonal and the bird on thirds, excellent composition.
Matthew Currie Posted April 9, 2020 Posted April 9, 2020 I believe most of the stuff on that boat was toilet paper. Downsizing the photo makes it a bit fuzzy. There was another boat after it with bunches of food. Fine place to be quarantined. 1

There was another boat after it with bunches of food. Fine place to be quarantined. Expensive place to be - quarantined or otherwise. I did a search on the ship. If it was in the Falklands, that is the Antarctic cruise - starting (economy class? :-) ) at $27,750 (US) per person and does not include air fare to get to Argentina and on to the Falklands. That is extra. Looks like the whole cruise would be around $33,000 to $35,000 per person. A little rich for me. I guess that explains "Elite" toilet paper. <GRIN>

Matthew Currie Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 The Ship I was on, the Orion, had been going to Patagonia, but had to turn around about a third of the way in when Chile closed its borders. We got around the horn, and saw a little of Staten Island before we had to turn around and head for the Falklands. Also a pretty expensive trip, though not as high as the combined South Georgia/Falklands/Antarctica one.. We went to South Georgia and Falklands last year, and Antarctica in 2014. A nice way to go if you can, and habit forming, and I think Shun Cheung, among others, would agree that it's a whole different world. 1
bgelfand Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Matthew, I look forward to seeing the pictures of your cruise. I hope you will post some here and in the Nature forum. Glad you made it back safely.

My first trip there was way back in 1998, and I went back to that continent for a second time a year ago, although I have had other trips to the South Georgia and the New Zealand sub-Antarctic Islands. There is recent news that COVID-19 is spreading on one of those cruise ships. That is really bad news. :eek: Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm/f4 S kit lens, 42mm, f11, 1/500 sec, and ISO 100 Edited April 12, 2020 by ShunCheung 3
ShunCheung Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 That is the French luxury ship L'Austral at the Neumayer Channel. Again, Z6 with the 24-70mm/f4 S lens. The ship I was in wasn't nearly as nice. 2
