<p>Last Sunday, it was like minus 10 and just before dawn, I took this picture and made a big discovery. The moon aint round anymore. Here is the proof! Seriously, I suspect the diffraction cause by being near horizon. Who knows, I may become a celebrity. </p><div></div>

<p>Wednesday pict tread is what have made me go out and challenge myself to improve my skills week after week. Honestly, I still have a LONG way to go but I feel supported and I know I can count on other member (or visitor) go get a honest respond to my questions or pictures... and it doesn't matter if it's from the Nikon or Canon guys.</p>

<p>Hi to all those Nikonian devoted to this weekly forum. This event is call the Polar Sphere. Animated sphere with music. Very nice to see and ear.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi John, Thanks for your input... and your photo is quite spooky.</p>

<p>Thanks Eric, It's getting clear now. My next step is to experiment.<br>

Thanks again to all.</p>

<p>Thanks for your respond. Impact on diffraction is what I was told if I close to much. The picture I posted was taken with a D300s at ISO 200, f3.2 1/3sec on a tripod.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>This is an example of a picture taken at f3.5 with my 17-55mm. The next time out, I will try it myself but I just wonder what you guys think: f2.8 or f22?</p><div></div>

<p>I wonder, in night photography, is it better to have a large aperture and a faster speed or a small aperture and a slower shutter speed? (all other thing being equal).</p>

<p>It's still Wednesday and I don't want to miss the first post of 2011. Taken at the Montreal High Light Festival on the last day of 2010.</p>

<div></div>

<p>I bought this lens recently and I've seen on the Sigma site that it is already discontinued. Did i missed a news lately?</p>

<p>Happy New Year to everyone. What a fun Wednesday tradition. Here's my last contribution of 2010. </p><div></div>

<p>Very generous to all who are chipping in. Patrick, je te fais part de mon appreciation des commentaires que tu apportes sur ce site. Etant debutant modere, c'est formateur de pouvoir lire les commentaires d'experts dont tu fais parti. Sinceres remerciements.</p>

<p>I notice this man waiting for something that I did not figure out. There was squirrels and woodpecker all over the place. I waited to see him take a photo but it didn't come. Maybe he was getting ready for the eclipse!!!<br>

There are always very good pictures here so if I have to pick only one, I'm impress by Mikhail's photo.</p><div></div>

<p>I started 2 years ago with Element5 and now Element 7 all the way until I discover LR3. Now I used it most of the time (90%). It is very powerful in fine tuning your picture.Even if I don't use Element that much, I plan to buy Element 9 for the layer mask. I could buy a plug-in but I prefer E9 since there is new features.</p>

<p>Even if it's very cold up north, they were shooting for a movie with old cars.</p><div></div>

<p>Something similar happened to me, only once with my D300s. The picture was all black on the JPEG but you could see a kind of picture from the raw file after a lot post processing.<br>

Since it happened only once, I taught it was my manipulation, until I read you post. </p>

<p>Hi folks, I went out on a very cloudy day to try my new Tokina 11-16mm. To say the least, it is very wide.</p><div></div>

<p>hi folks, no picture from me today but I can't go without my coup de coeur. Hopefully next week I'll be in the party.<br>

Matt: impressive tone and well describe<br />Don H.:Like the light, almost like a chrome effect<br />Andrew F.: What's friend are for.. ;)<br />Hamish G.: <br />Barry F.<br />Rick D. : I wish I was there</p>

<p>I'm always surprised to see those people from the Asian world being so amazed by the Autumn color.</p><div></div>

<p>I'm sorry if I confused a few of you guys... My mistake, at this time, there is no OS on the 50-150mm from Sigma. The version II I was referring to has the M/AF switch witch I taught it was the OS control.<br>

I own that lenses (the old one) and find it excellent for my needs (and my budget).</p>

 

<p>Shun, I think that, as you said, the 50-150 is discontinued. It made place for the II version. I've been fooled by a vendor. I just bought the non OS version. It's very good but I would have preferred the OS version.</p>

<p>Subway's are never safe... unless it's Halloween. Great pictures so far.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi folks, very nice pictures so far. Mine was a nice walk in the park during lunch time.</p><div></div>

<p>Another great Wednesday. Walking by the river, I saw this tree fallen for years but still growing.</p><div></div>

<p>Hi to all Nikonian folks. Fall always bring back a lot of color in our forest. I like the color specially when it's sunny. Enjoy</p><div></div>
