Really gorgeous shots, might have to steal a few of those for desktop backgrounds. Do you have a macro lens, Gunny? I'd love both a macro and a telephoto for my camera. (...then I could get a decent shot of that friggin eagle in its nest...)

Thank you very much, feel free to drop them onto your desktop. :D Since I don't have the brain for a DSLR, I have to settle for the next best replacement for a proper macro lens; magnifying lens rings that screw onto your objective. I found one of these sets for cheap locally: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=855634&gclid=CPm-udmiq8YCFQ-PaQodciEGHQ&is=REG&m=Y&A=details&Q=

There might be a similar gadget for zoom, try looking for "telephoto lens adapter [your lens diameter in mm]" on Google.

Also, thank you, bOnEs. :blush: Brian might have some skill, I just have a camera that does a nice job.

(Pardon the shitty phone pics) We found a crippled bird on the side of the road, stunned and frozen on the white line. I guess he flew into a windshield.

Brought him home, gave him some water, and he was flying again after an hour's rest.

Anybody know what he is? He had a beautiful, brilliant splash of red on his breast, haven't yet seen another bird that matches.


EDIT: Also, this majestic lady got very close to me a couple days ago. No fear.

By that distinctive electric orange colour, I'd guess it's an oriole, and since its head is still on the speckled side, it looks like a juvenile one, probably not long out of the nest and still trying to figure out how to survive. Nice shots.

Achieved a "lifetime" ambition last weekend to see someone slammed through a table by Team 3D (aka The Dudley Boyz)!

Oh and I realise the pics aren't perfect - my position in the crowd wasn't exactly perfect with a number of people in front of me (had to hold the camera above my head!)

 

And here's a tank for good measure too....

Everyone is standing there with their arms folded, sporting a thousand yard stare.

You Brits really don't get excited for anything but soccer, do you?

 

Ha ha, well noted!  Although it's 'football' not 'soccer'!  ;)

Football players and soccer players should fight for the name. You guys can use rugby players, so it's almost fair for you.

 

Note that I don't like either game, and have no personal stake in it.

Massacre, I don't understand why you hate sports so much..... Not everyone can run 30 yards in 4 seconds, jump four feet in the air with prefect timing to pluck a ball out of the air while another person tries to knock it away.

It takes serious talent. Your being a QD.
