Super shot! You might be thick-skinned, but there is no critique here.

In one of the documentaries I watched, the tech guy who was narrating the sequel said that, he has two phobias. 1st - afraid of electricity! 2nd - afraid of heights! Seriously.

Well, as a pilot/air-rescue para-medic and crew chief with thousands of hours in the air ... guess what? I'm deathly afraid of electricity, and ... I'm literally petrified beyond imagination of heights! Go figure.

Utah Mike, thanks!

Thank you kindly, mcmama

Whoops, think I did something wrong sending the photo ...

Coco and I went for a hike today in a light snowfall and happened to bump into this young girl chewing her cud. 50 feet away - Bogen - 1/160 @ f/8 ISO 3200 Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 ED VRI Subject: Montana White-tailed doe. (Coco is a female Flat-Coat black retriever).

It was a pussy cat. Guaranteed!

Everything jerryc41 said is true! I was a Arizona Highway Patrol motorcycle officer on the Phoenix freeways. Lived in that sweltering hellhole for 10 years. I don't know how I managed to do it, but I miraculously escaped with my life!

Incredible! That Hoppy camera brings back memories. And the baseball ... way cool - Mikey Mantle and Casey Stengel. My baseball heroes. Nice collection and great photo.

Memories of Special Moms from the days of "Our Greatest Generation."

A Penny For Her Thoughts. Delicate and subtle. Stunning! Welcome to the forum.

Thank you for the free photography 101 lesson.

Having shot pro & semi-pro for a number of years I didn't have a clue as to such elementary photo basics. And, as for your insinuation of my (or anybody else on UHH) shooting a 'cheap' 500 with a high f stop rating ... well, you know ... not everyone in the photo world can afford a $12,000 600mm f/4 lens coupled to a $500 TC for their arsenal ... while shooting Blue-jays @ 840mm @ a whopping f5.6 (more likely in DX Mode @1260mm f/5.6).

FYI. There are a lot of humble/polite folks here in UHH land with photo skills ranging from want-a-be's, to amateur, to serious hobbyists, to pros - all eager to share and learn. But, then again, there are some 'stuff-shirts' out there that can spend bucks like it grows on trees, and who also like to 'beat on their chests' while belittling others.

And, there are certain folks here who earn the honor of being added to my permanent, 'Ignore List.' You are the first to have received that rank.

Conrats.

There's nothing like the smile and comfort from our 'best friends.'

Like CPO said ... lot's of diversity, talent, and not-so-much talent here. Take all with a grain of salt, but there's much to learn here ... I learn something here everyday. It's a fun forum.

Welcome.
