gnomes Kagen4o4. Actually they live in the ground. Who knows why they were up in that tree. haha

@zypit. Yes I think they appear to be going down. That ones either singing or cursing. The tree does look burnt but it is actually only wet and dead. My kids granny tried to spruce it up by making it look full of life as her whole yard does.

She's not yet even 60. A very young granny.

@superbaton That cat ear is amazing!

My mind cannot shake the Travelocity gnome's voice, nor can it block out the yodeling theme to Price-is-Right's Cliff Hangers when I look at that image.

Superbaton's feline radar dish is awesome!

Aw, really? I hope not and I'm really sorry if I came across that way in any post. I really hate that photography attracts equipment and perfectionist snobs when it really is a medium that should simply be enjoyed for the content it allows people to create. It is the only creative outlet I have and it is really important to me to not become like the people I think ruin the hobby.

He was pretty intent on sucking nectar. I wasn't all that close, actually. 10x zoom on my camera, you know. It is a bitch to get it to autofocus, though. I took numerous pics that day at the lake with the intent of putting them in this thread. That's the only one that came out worth a damn.

Close-ups are so much fun, I love this thread! Walked around French creek today playing with macro.

Jinx - the acorn wins for depth of field and composition! A wonderful find!

skysidhe · 04-13-2006, 08:46 AM

No snobbery taken or assumed here

Great forest flower photo. And the curves of that tree. Humm interesting.

When a friend came to visit me from SK in Feb we went to these falls. I took a picture of a hole in the rock. I think it emarassed him a little so I deleted it.

Maybe I still have the original on c/d. I thought it was cool looking an not profane.

I'll have to look when I get a day off someday/

I, too, have confused feelings about that tree. The question of who I should blame is still open, though...

Thanks! I got so involed in taking that little nut's picture I put my sunglasses down and left them behind.

I like the pic a lot though. This one too

dar512 · 04-13-2006, 12:56 PM

I really like that last one Jinx. Something about the composition and the angle.

Any chance you could post a large version somewhere?

jinx · 04-13-2006, 01:19 PM

Thanks Dar! I would, but that's as big as I took it.... email quality, just practicing and fitting a lot on the stick.

Well that's doubly impressive that you were just practicing.

Luckily for me, it stretched without pixellating too badly. It's now my wallpaper.
