This is a shot of my friend, Rens (The one leaning) over a canal in Amsterdam from a coffeeshop.

It had just wonderful memories and I like how still he is while his partner, Sarah, is in motion.

http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t132/emboline/IMG_0127.jpg


And I love this pic because I got a pic of this funky cat I took care of at work.
He isn't nearly as sinister as he looks.

Sometimes, I can take a picture.

Sho Nuff made a Cat Macro of that shot many months ago.

(And damn, if I can't find it, now...)

It said "I'm in yer nightmares, drinkin' yer bloodz"

He really is sweet. He's just a funky breed called Devon Rex.

My new favorite Framed grouping... I bought a double-holed frame... Big enough for 2 horizontal 8x10s 1 on top of the other.

Top slot:

The frame is black with a nearly pure white matting. Looks AMAZING in our living room.

My girls are 4 now. And every bit as naughty as they look. In the 2nd picture I captured their mischief totally - which is why I'm very fond of that photograph.

Yup, all my photography. Junkyard Dog was taken in Grenada, where I spent a month building houses and such after hurricane Ivan hit there. I have more from that trip aswell if you'd like to see.
And yes, the second one is a self portrait... though about 2 years old.

One of our "porch kitties." This little kitten just had a litter of her own. She was having a rare moment of peace in the sun without the babies, and I just loved this shot of her blending in with the branches.

How do you guys decide the right amount of focus between the petals and the stamen?

I deleted so many photos yesterday because the focus was so weird. Then it is so hard to tell what is in focus and what isn't.

But it would help if I put my contacts in before shooting too.

:rolleyes:

ayn, i'm not particularly into the bugs, but when one is sitting on a flower petal you can just not ignore it! kari's new lens begs you to get shots like that.

lepus, i just eyeball it also. i usually take lots of shots focusing on different little things and then just see what i like best when i pull them up on my computer screen.
