[Matt Laur]

Important:

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!

 

Our wet week or two seems have awoken the local mushrooms. Hiding in the roots of one of our tall pines is a fungus that - once or twice a year - puts on a pretty good show. Here are three snapshots taken just a few hours apart. This thing - when it finally opened up all the way - is over twelve inches wide. I checked. It's poisonous. So we'll just look at it, rather than eat it, on this Nikon Wednesday. Share some photos!

These days my photography is limited to what I can see in and around the house. And the subjects are our pets, and our plants. Here is our 14 years old cat, doing us a favor of napping on our bed. D7100, Nikon 16-80, 1/80 sec at f5.0, flash.

And here is a rose bush that has grown and bloomed without any help on our part. D7100, Nikon 16-80, 1/100 sec at f/ 10

And here is our little Havanese, Toby. D7100, 1/80 at f/4

Like most here, I'm not getting out much, so mostly I've been chasing insects and trying (always just trying) to get dragonflies in flight.

 

Damselflies are pretty easy to get, because they actually sit down occasionally.

 

[Matthew Currie]

The dragonflies are making sure there will be some dragonflies next year too. Edited July 1, 2020 by Matthew Currie

And they're flying. I assert that dragonflies blur when they fly. That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

A few months back I posted a thread about purchasing an FE2 - it received a lot of responses. Now here are some images. This is "La Laguna Madre," South Padre Island, TX, 5/26/2020. Nikon FE2, 24 mm AI, Fuji Superia 400.

.....so phenomenal, surrealistic!

For some time now I’ve had to restrict my photography to around the house and when I sometimes fancy a double espresso this little mokaexpress based on the legendary Bialetti gives me a double shot.

Beautiful colour!

Luis, that contraption looks a little bit dangerous.

that contraption looks a little bit dangerous

I'm sure there's a thermal plug on the other side...;)

[luis triguez]

How is that moka maker working out for you? Can it be used on electric ranges? Thanks!

of course!

[lahuasteca]

Lockdown - limtied to photographing around the house. Golden Malayan coconut palm, Nikon D60, 16-85 lens, July 5, 2020. I'm in the LRGV of South Texas - coconut palms are marginal here due to occasional strong winter cold fronts.

It can be used on all cooker tops except INDUCTION. Works well for me.

[Matthew Currie]

Before I moved in 1988 I had an electric cook top with a trick burner that you could switch by thirds, with the smallest portion about 4 inches in diameter. This was perfect for small coffee pots like the Moka Express. I don't know why nobody does this any more.
