Nice shots! Brings back memories... I grew up about a mile from there. Gee, for some reason they didn't like horses...

A friend of mine accidently put a "sunburn" on his I-don't-remember-what-model Nikon that showed up on all his subsequent pictures. The lines in the downloadable mushroom almost look like a window frame. Is it possible you accidently put a ghost in your machine?

What memories! I still have about 90% of the Lionel I got when I was 7 in '59 boxed in the garage.

Thanks guys. 20 years ago he majored in biology at Loyola. First job was at the San Diego Zoo. All his friends got rich in real estate so he moved into that. He just took a job as a commercial asset manager with Wells Fargo in Seattle. The critters are a lucrative hobby. For example he has a breeding pair of Indigo snakes. Babies sell for $600 apiece and they make about a dozen a year.

I think you've made a very interesting portrait. The feather detail is lovely, but that beak - wow! This perspective shows what a powerful tool that is :)
The white out of focus background lines, especially the one on the left, are a little distracting. Perhaps you could just soften their edges somewhat.

I agree about the lines. This image brings back memories. I babysat one of these for almost a year. She was a cuddler but something startled her once and she nailed my finger. I can attest as to how powerful that beak is.

A lot of history in that face. Reminds me of a neighbor down the road growing up. I can almost smell the cigarettes and cheap vodka.

That's a neat idea! One thing I see is that if you extended the top of the shoulder pad up and over a bit so it "hangs" on your shoulder and add some vertical adjustment, you wouldn't need to pull it back with your left arm just hold it up. Less arm strain especially with ginormous lenses.

My daughter just moved back to the Seattle area after about 10 years in LA with her reptile geek husband, two adorable grandchildren, a chihuahua, and many boxes of lizards, snakes, etc. This little guy, along with his ten siblings you can see in the background was born about a week after they arrived. He's a Jackson's Chameleon and is only about an inch long. These are a couple of the first pictures I've taken with my new FZ200. No flash, just the warming lamp on top of the cage. The second pic is a little blown out, isn't it...
I hate crowds...
Can you spot them all?

Gargleblaster. I think it's a full moon about now...
The first of the "corrected" post does look a little better. But it would be a good exercise to use the same manual settings on each camera and shoot it again. Might calm the hornets down...

When I see places like this I always wonder "what happened". Nice shot.
And was it "coincidence" that when I first looked at this page the banner ad under your pic was for a metal roofing contractor?
