Stuart,

That is your pet now so you can 'show and tell'. It is going to look at home with Adrian's spiders.

I still have to learn how to attach a small file and still get a large image on this site.

Regards,
Haim

I will try again tomorrow.

I can add few of my own: ???????

Thanks Adrian.

This is for Stuart, a Midway monster totally unafraid of my wide angle lens stucked inches from his face, enjoying his late afternoon sun:

Fabulous shot. Razor sharp and very interesting composition. Tonal range is great. Is it an HDR composite?

Finally cracked this posting lark then Haim? Well worth waiting for great shots very unusual, love the sea of poles,and not a builder in sight!

Praying mantis have serious attitude for something so small. They often just sit there and basically saying come on then if you are tough enough! These insects have voracious appetites and will attack anything of similar or smaller size than themselves even members of their own kind... Males normally get eaten by their partners whilst mating

Anyway, here's another small beastie with attitude, she certainly was prepared to stand her ground. Not an insect this time but an arachnid. I found this female E.italicus scorpion under a rock near the house where I was staying in Tuscany in August.

Kind regards,

Peter

Thanks.

I had no choice; crack that posting lark or fly to England so Adrian can personally 'show & tell' me.
The picture is of a coal generated power plant in the nearby town of Waukegan in northern Illinois.

Thanks Winky.

It is a straight forward shot (not even a crop) taken with my D200 and the 12-24mm DX lens.
I did not know what HDR was till you explained it to me last week. The only basic tool I use is Photoshop Elements.
Show us more of your images please.

Very nice, Peter.
I like the light reflected on her shiny body. Like a good female she must have put her make-up before leaving the house.

Another HDR shot. The view from my apartment at night.

Winky,

The sharpness and the tones are just amazing. You would think that it is a view cameara shot.

By the way, I don't think that the D700 is selling so well. Nikon is offering a $300 rebate for it.

Regards,
Haim

Thanks Haim.

Yeah, the D700 is interesting. A lot of amateurs with DX bodies and lenses perhaps aren't keen to change to full frame system as they would have to buy all their lenses again. Those with D200s or D300s and full-frame lenses (like me) are likely to wait for the D3x or even D4 to get a megapixel upgrade at the same time. Those with D3s aren't interested, except as backup/extra bodies. It is also too expensive for a lot of first-timers with no lens "baggage".

Who are the main customers for the D700 then? It's not clear.

So, in spite of he fact that it is a great camera, it may not have been positioned correctly in the market. Nikon may be paying the price for losing system compatibility (in one direction) with the original introduction of the DX format.

Haim,
I have printed that pic to fraim it.
Will also do the power lines one.
Put some more of your great pics on here.
Everyone will love them.

Thanks Stuart.

It was snowing very lightly yesterday so perhaps I am better off taking pictures of the fresh stuff of this year instead of going back to the archives.

I agree. A nice shot. I can't quite figure out the perspective... but that's part of what makes it interesting.
