bernie moore Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 We had a sixty degree day in CT last week and our hope stirred for Spring, but alas was dashed when this *^&%@#^% storm came along and dumped more than a foot of white litter. This is a clear gift of a lemon. Venturing out no further than my lower deck I shot this pic of the culprit strangling a cedar tree. I'm really sick of this and want to feel unearned sweat again and perhaps the sting of bit of sunburn, sand in my crocs...sigh. 1/640@f8, ISO 800 (ISO 800? forgot to reset after grandson's bball game) and my 35-70 Af 2.8 Thought it came out pretty well under the circumstances. Another crop of great shots, folks. Rene, where's junior's pic this week? .<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conwaygroup Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 <p>Richard, I noticed a bobber on your daughters cake. Is she into fishing? My daughter is. We have spent a lot of quality time on the water doing nothing while waiting for the big one to bite. She's 28 now and has a life of her own but we still go fishing together once a year.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_b.1 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 <p>Hey guys.., nice shots this week. Unfortunately I don't have the luck or inspiration to find something interesting to photograph lately...This is an oil painting done by my wife :</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rarmstrong Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 <p>John, we do some fishing together, but more photography and canoeing. The bobber on the cake is for her grandfather and the single yellow candle is for her aunt. We were celebrating three February birthdays. My daughter just became a member of photo.net and she really wants a camera like dad's:-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpahnelas Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 <p>it's the silly season, when birds start to show their true nature. it's that territorial thing, where it's not uncommon the see a cardinal attacking its reflection in a car mirror. i was watching a couple of geese lingering at the corner of the pond when this aggressive one flew in and began a major confrontation. i captured a number of striking images, but this one in particular catches the action...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_burt Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 <p>Well, the goats have almost finished their food for the winter and that's good.

kohanmike Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 <p>Great shots folks. I'm shooting another philharmonic concert tonight, but thought I would drop in a bird shot instead. This is at the Veteran's Center Parrot Sanctuary here in Los Angeles. It was a tough setting, shooting through a wire mesh cage, distance away. Had to do a lot of tweaking with sharpening, exposure fixes, but I think it came out pretty well in the end.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 <p>Very windy the other day when I took photos of roofers repairing a nearby apartment complex. The gusts were so strong I had to lean against a trash dumpster to steady myself for these handheld shots. Gotta admire people who can work at heights in these conditions. Unfortunately the only shot I got of a bit of roofing debris being blown off was otherwise boring with no faces or physical reactions, so I had to stick with something vaguely artistic.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
