Jim Kramer - The 'mmm, tasty...' Award! - Another image that I think
could have benefitted from a spot of color (this time, in the eyes). I
just can't get my cats to stay still when I stick a camera near their
faces, so my hat's off to you. Now if only it had a feather sticking
out of its mouth or something. But that too would be totally different
so feel free to ignore me.


OOOWW!!! I got a Tasty! :-)

Makes him look kinder. Not my intent. :-)

I was on a cliff in a 30 mph wind. The real problem was I hiked in
and should have brought a tripod The cliffs in the photo were
too far away for hand held. Surprisingly I was out in the wind to get
away from the nearby trees that would have made a much better shot.

There were turkey vultures in the air just below me.
I took several images of them including one looking down over
its shoulder ( 50 feet away). Good shot of the bird looking
at rubble and shoreline. Uninteresting at best.

If it is nice this weekend I am going back in. The scenery is
spectacular even better now with no insects yet and one around.
It is about a 1 Km hike from the nearest road.

The whole thing seemed ...blurry; like my eyes couldn't quite focus.

Would a polarizer have helped? (I remember them helping my dad's desert
photography a lot, back in the day...)

That can really muddy things up for telephoto shots.

Wilba - You-saved-my-kitty Award!

I thought I was saving Jim's kitty.

Or maybe it's the Self-Portrait #212.4 Award.

Thanks a bunch.

I'm up a tree and confused. So ignore me.

Good! OK.

Get stuffed! :-D

Ken Nadvornick - Color-blind Commie Award! How dare you
give hope to our enemies by showing our them that our imperialist
capitalist system is fundamentally corrupt and unustainable.
In all seriousness, a bit of spot color would have really
increased the punch here, especially if the flag is as faded
as it appears to be. IMNSHO, naturally, so ignore me.

Ahh yes...

But you see, all of my photographs come factory-equipped without all of those
annoying colors.
