Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

[swpars]

Aldor - whatever your source of lighting on the rocks, I really like how it turned out.

Here's one from a couple months ago:



Shot pretty much at minimum focus distance of the 55-200mm VR - no close-up filter used. If this was a Tamron or Sigma lens, they'd probably try to call it a "Macro".

EXIF:

Camera: Nikon D40
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/640)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 200 mm
ISO Speed: 200

Swpars,
That's a very crisp shot! Awesome capture!

Nice one, Aldor! Did you use a flash, or is that the sun reflecting on the rocks on the left side of the image?

Thanks. No flash, sunlight.

a little hot on the flash on the left.

The feather detail is insane, Rooz. Really like the shot.

Rooz,

OMG. That is just........... I can't see that much detail on my own in a bird! Awesome detail in that shot.

Some awesome shots in this thread. Few I took after a storm with the kit 18-55.

Wow, there are some seriously amazing shots being posted here lately! Here is my contribution for today, taken with my slowly dying D50 and trusty 35-70mm. I snapped this pic on Ft Lauderdale beach. If you notice, the lifeguard tower has 2 flags. Red means high hazard (VERY strong current in the water) and the purple means marine life warning (there was apparently some bacteria in the water). The weather was so nice though, that neither of those things stopped people from enjoying the beach!
