<p>Looking good, as usual!</p>

<p><a href="../photo/10956071">This one</a> is a candid portrait of a good friend of mine, I was testing the SB-80DX I just got, and took one shot with flash and another without. I liked the one without the flash better, so here you are:</p>

<p>Hello all<br />Thanks to Roberta Davidson and Janne Kaakinen for mention my last week Pic.<br>

I'm spending more time in Hospitals than taking photos these days and the only day I could take some pics I had a.... <em>Canon</em> in my hands :( Shame on me!!!<br>

So I post one taken few months ago. (I had shown before to a group of friends here so it will be familiar to some of you )<br>

<br />We call this kind of Caterpillar "Gata Peluda" (a quick translation would be "Hairy female Cat") Touching its hairs is a bad idea, its very painful. While I was spending my Holidays in Uruguay, several of this bugs where climbing the external walls looking for a safe place to build the cocoon.<br>

A few more pics of this bug <a href="../photodb/folder?folder_id=928800">here </a><br>

<p>Happy Wednesday, all! Took this one during a recent trip to the desert. I found quuite a few of these metal scupltures pretty much positioned in the middle of nowhere. Did some research and found out that a local landowner commisioned a self-taught artist to make these for him. There are probably 20 or 30 of them out in the desert, ranging from animals to people to birds.</p>

<p>I call this one 'desert travelers'.</p><div>00WLdX-240055684.jpg.8de0a07aca7c4ffa670da888579dc048.jpg</div>

<p>I have missed a couple weeks. Good to be back and see what y'all have been up to.</p>

<p>Matt, Do I remember reading that your wife makes jewelry? Is this piece hers? It is a beautiful piece, and you represented it wonderfully here. </p>

<p>Jeff, Week after week, you keep giving us really impressive work. The colors here are stunning.</p>

<p>Sankha, It almost looks like the branches are holding up the moon. Very nice.</p>

<p>Tiffany, Adorable little girl. Great expression. I'm hooked on Glee too. Missed it last night though. Our local Fox station is having problems...I'll have to watch it online tonight.</p>

<p>Greg K, Love the determination of these little ahtletes, and the grass clinging to their shoes is a delightful detail.</p>

<p>Grant T, Looks almost like part of a dinosaur armor. Very cool.</p>

<p>Narayan, Wonderful! Very creative work.</p>

<p>Lil, Sorry to hear of your health problems. You have my sympathy. Another beautiful close up image.</p>

<p>Jana, What a fun chandelier! </p>

<p>Jan I, I love the color temp variations of all the lights.</p>

<p>Daniel H, Welcome to Pnet! </p>

<p>Jose, Your daughter is indeed beautiful. Enjoy every minute. They grow so fast! My oldest is graduation hight school in 3 weeks.</p>

<p>Aguinaldo, Fantastic details.</p>

<p>Mitchell, Looks like quite a personality. </p>

<p>Oskar, I don't think your image is too busy at all..the color and lines move the eye nicely through the image.</p>

<p>Jeanne, How cool! You have really put that glass table to good use.</p>

<p>Paul V, Wonderful moody scene. I imagine faeries hiding in that underbrush.</p>

<p>Mark G, I have always known that when my kids are the dirtiest, they have had the best time...and I have girls! Great portrait.</p>

<p>Norman, Is that a brand in the shape of Texas on the cow's side? The bluebonnets make a beautiful background for your bovines.</p>

<p>Janne, Love that sliver of light along your friend's profile!</p>

<p>Alejandro, We have a species of caterpillar here that also has stinging "hairs". Our buckmoth caterpillar is not as pretty as yours. Very nice!</p>

<p>Lex, Self-portrait??? :-)</p>

<p>Many other excellent images as well.</p>

<p>Mine this week is of my daughter who is getting ready to graduate from high school. Our professional photographer friend's mother is very ill, so I had to do the senior pics myself. This is non-traditional, but I think it captures the feel of where she is on life's path.<br>

<p>Wednesday again! And a great bunch of pictures to view.</p>

<p>This was taken just moments before the disastrous landing of a team attempting to beat the world record for smallest-parachute-fancy-dress skydive. The next frame was too horrific to show here.</p>

<p>Technical data: D700; 1000th sec. @ f/8; 70-300mm Sigma "Apo" lens.</p><div>00WLfq-240075584.jpg.4126be810407c5dbadeff078853dee5d.jpg</div>

<p>My contribution this week is just an experiment with sparse lighting.</p><div>00WLhC-240087684.jpg.1705792cfd7886bdcbf8007087ac3986.jpg</div>
