<p>Look at that, for the second week in a row, over 100 posts in last week's Thursday thread. Well done everyone! But there's a sad note as well, this will be my last week starting the Thursday threads (at least until the next person gets sick of it). Next week there will be a brand new face welcoming you each week. And if you are really REALLY lucky, they won't make you look at photos of their kids every week.<br /> <br /> I, however, will make you do that. I had the Lensbaby Composer on my camera because I'm writing a 'gadgets & gizmos' article about the close-up lenses for it. So I thought I'd take a few photos of my kid and his grandma. If you like kids and blurry toy-camera images, you'll like the photo. If you don't...well you can just cram it. Canon T1i Lensbaby Composer Double-Glass optic.<br /> <br /> <br /> As for the rest of you, let's see what you've got.</p><div></div>

<p>I didn't get much photography done this week. So I am recycling a Halloween photo of my son from last year. He was paying his respects to Michael Jackson who had passed away recently.<br /> <img src="http://indy.smugmug.com/photos/1077015547_BDhL2-X3-1.jpg" alt="" /><br /> 40d, 17mm, f8, ISO 200</p>

<p>This past Sunday morning, I went out looking for a bald eagle that has been seen on occasion in a local park. The eagle wasn't there, but the light was nice, and I drove past this beautifully landscaped farm. <br>

<p>This week gave lots of pictures, I even have hard time choosing which picture should go to the thread. I was walking in the 'far north wooded park' as Ken put it. It happens the park is just across the road from my home. And I met this funny doggy who was interested in two things: to fetch the ball his master has thrown and understand what I, a stranger to him, was doing. (7D, 70-200/4 L IS@200, ISO 800, 1/250, f/8.0)</p><div></div>

<p>I guess its time to say farewell to the fall colors up here in the Pacific Northwest.. Most of the leaves in my area are laying on the ground, but I did manage to find one last decent photo opportunity</p><div></div>

<p>This week for me was a trip around my garden, found these purple mushrooms. They have not be enhanced in the colour,it really was this purple....anyone an expert and tell me what kind it is?</p><div></div>

<p>Cosplay kid.<br>

f/2.8, 1/250, ISO 200</p><div></div>

<p>Not much fall color this year so I thought I would focus in on just a few closeups. Here I'm using a Canon FD 50mm f/1.2 lens on the 7D with a Bower Adapter.</p><div></div>

<p>Anyone knows the name of this caterpillar please, never seen one like it.</p><div></div>

<p>Another thread here, in a different forum, inspired me to go back to a familiar place to shoot a familiar scene, yet again. However, this time, the light looked a little better than it usually does and I was very pleased with the results. (Thanks for the inspiration, Walter!) Josh, you nailed the Lensbaby pic!</p>

<p>I had the pleasure this week of being the photographer for the Enfield Dog Park's Dogtober Fest. This event is put on each October to raise money to build a dog park here in my home town. The Committee in charge is doing this all on their own in order to pay for the dog park with NO expense to the tax payers in town. They have vendors come in, demonstrations by the local police department and local dog training facilities, contests and of course pet portraits! I was there for 6 hours taking pet portraits and all the money raised from the session fee ($5.00 each) went straight to the dog park! I had a great time meeting new people and furry friends as well. <br>

This little guy was just too cute, his name is Thor. He is a Chihuahua, Italian Greyhound, Pit Bull mix (yeah I didn't know what to say about that either LOL).<br>

<p>Not too much photography going on this week. Spring has sprung in South America so yard work and planting flowers has taken up a lot of time this week. Here's a quick shot of a spider on the leaf of a lemon tree. Some crop in Picasso 3.</p><div></div>

<p>My favorite of getting ready for Halloween! Waiting for facepaint to be applied...</p><div></div>

<p>Yet more fall color...</p><div></div>

<p>Been experimenting some more of late. Both with doing closeups with a telephoto to create a small DOF, and with Elements to combine photos. Got it done, but my brain hurts!<br>

And for the record, that EF-S 50-250 is one hell of a lens for the money.</p><div></div>

<p><em><strong>There was a rustle in the night and my torch shown upon this specter of Halloween.</strong></em> It is in fact my son modeling his wears for this annual event before going out to stuff his bucket with sugary fare. (@ 38mm, ISO 640, f/5 @ 1/250sec)</p><div></div>
