Fun Pictures with Nikon

[Jorgen Udvang]

Staying in Thailand when it's warm is no problem. But what to do on those cold winter mornings, when the temperature goes down towards freezing 20 degrees (Celsius plus, NOT minus)?

While this may be a problem for many people, it's a great pleasure to launch the 2009 winter fashion for photographers who have to suffer those cold, Thai winter mornings :toocool:

Hi Jorgen,

I would be most pleased to meet you in Istanbul, if you can arrange the visit.

Seyhun,
Great photos indeed, particularly the gulls. Maybe I should try to visit Istanbul on the way to Europe next time

Hi Jorgen,

Seyhun

Thank you for the offer. It would be sometime around spring. I'll come back to you when it's closer.

Beautiful photograph, Jorgen.

Thank you Amin. It was a very spontaneous shot, with around three and a half seconds of preparation, and the smallest of the two girls did what she could to spoil it, but that's one of the charming sides of children, isn't it

It's bloody brilliant Jorgen - maybe you could improve the rythmn by tilting slightly to the right, but the little blurry hand is the last detail to a perfect photograph.

i find it terribly irritating that you're so damned good. (I wish I wish)

Thanks a lot Jono. Funny that you mention the tilt. I did consider adjusting it. I didn't do it though, and the tilt as well as the crop is as captured.

Still, I have a long way to go, but hopefully, I will become even more irritating in the future

My five-year-old son Oliver, D700 & ZF 35 Distagon:

Amin,
That's really great. Love the composition and his concentration. He seems to be out on a mission

Ummm.... is that the D700Xs Mark II with the new, compact 24mm f/1.2 he's holding? I didn't know that was released yet

 

[DonWeston]

Have had a couple of weeks to work on my SW USA trip images, thought I would post a couple of more, taken with D300 and Tokina 12-24mm lens...fwiw.

 

[asabet]

Thanks Jorgen! Oliver's camera is sweet. Binocular style dual finders, enough eye relief for any specs, and built to take a tumble down a flight of stairs every once and a while. My younger son Philip loves his as well and regularly gives it a durability testing .
