Could it be what I used to call a "string saw?" A flexible wire blade is threaded through the area where the item to be sawn is located. Then the wire is loosely attached to each end of the handle. The sawyer can then work the wire saw back and forth, and whoopee! The impossible to reach cut is made...
This looks fine to me. I think the best photos are those that tell a story or make one wonder. This does both.
I hope you rescued the decoy. They can be quite collectable.
Great minds work alike it seems... I used your idea in the late 1950's to shoot 35mm available light at night, and got good (newspaper quality) results. I used an "S" hook instead of a washer. :P
I'd hate to be in that car.... :lol: :lol: :lol:
My answer to the question re interest was "yes and no" until I read Shine11's quick and cogent suggestion: to hang the photo at the end of a hallway. Excellent! Now my answer is "yes."
I love photos that weave a story in my mind, even as I view them:
Photo #4: Bridge to, or bridge from?
Photo #6: Thank you.
Photo #7: I wonder who's coming over the ridge?
Photo #8: Where have all the horses gone?
Thanks, Wahawk for great shots...
Your beautiful avatar answers so eloquently the old argument: YES, photography can be art, true art, creative art and very personal art. It can set the mind on fire, can tell the viewer a thousand stories, transport us to the place of your dreams, cover your faults or expose you to dreadful scrutiny, and give us a glimpse the completeness so lacking in all our lives.
Yep, I am sickened and agree. But I suppose we have to acknowledge that graffiti is in our genes, passed down through millions of species and visible in our cousins as well. Example: mammals and others peeing to mark territory. Conclusion: If you enjoy the fecal matter of others, you will love graffiti.
I know if I were the camera-toting neighbor I would not take these photos. The only exception might be if I saw the law being broken. If I were the drapes-open neighbor, I would recognize the possibility that my actions might be observed and photographed; so I would be careful never to do anything I would not want a stranger to see, and I would close the drapes accordingly.
City living has benefits, but these come at a price.
I'm just beginning with digital, finally leaving my beloved film and need input about the long zoom on the Coolpix 510, which costs about the same as an inexpensive not-quite-so-long zoom.
Somehow, I like the idea of the 510, giving me a range from semi-wide to 1000mm. The 510's lesser cost is attractive, and as such seems ideal to take on trips (saves space, [;is less angst over potential damage or theft).
I'd appreciate hearing from some experienced hogs about the overall quality of the 510 lens... coverage, resolution, sharpness, color rendition, bokeh, etc. compared to the long zoom mentioned above. I would like your subjective comments, from non-users and from people who use a 510.
OK, let's trade places. Oh! I forgot to mention I am 80-years old.. or did I?
Photos numbered one and three are fine. Photo number two is wonderful; it tells the story of a milestone in the life of a beautiful, spirited young lady enjoying life. In 25 years, I'd bet the second photo is the one you will treasure.
...talk about depth of field. Wow! :thumbup: :thumbup:
