Wow, Kits...great photos (as always!)

Nice, Kitsune.

Is that a compact fluorescent bulb? How is it illuminated? The bulb itself isn't lit is it?

Yeah, I replaced most of the lights in my place with CFLs sometime ago for power/heat reasons. (Using halogen lamps in Florida wasn't the greatest idea.) I've been really happy with them, especially the full spectrum ones, despite them having an initially dim appearance on cold days.

The bulb itself is lit, although it is a fairly low output one equal to a 40w incandescent. I think it was a 1/2000s or 1/4000s snap to get it dimmed down. The 75w equivalent bulb shots didn't turn out.

Some.. thing on the side of the road heading into Little Cottonwood Canyon, Near Salt Lake City (someone ID this?)

Looks like a dead thistle with a bunch of snow precariously balanced on top.

I can't compete with the artists on here, but I figure practice makes perfect. Well, a better camera and talent maybe...

The 4" tree from the card Bruce sent me. Badly cut out and glued together and sitting proud on my PC.

Is that chewing gum holding it up? The tree, I mean?

Sundae · 12-20-2006, 02:01 PM

Oops. Thought it was ubiquitous. Blu-Tack is a reusable gum. A bit like chewing gum in texture, but less sticky and it doesn't go hard.
