well, i think he's probably safe to make another 4-500hp before he needs to start worrying about strapping stuff down then.

still bloody crazy setup....

I never could get into those Chryslers for some reason.

feel like the only place for you is in the trunk of one of those being dragged out into the middle of nowhere in the nevada desert?

Jew's have eachothers backs eh?

UdubBadger · 05-14-2011, 10:26 PM

that story is totally fabricated but yes... usually. Don't most races stick together, especially ones that have survived 4000 years of guilt together?

The1 · 05-14-2011, 10:29 PM

haha, can't comment. The only persecution and such in my background is against eachother in civil wars and such between the english, the irish and the scotish, so i can't really comment

They didn't really stick together for eachother.

Not contemporary enough for my taste.

Yesterday morning I was about to head back to the house when I saw a large group of American white pelicans preening and sleeping in a huge clump. I pulled the ole M3 shooting blind into position to shoot when this handsome guy plunked down right in front of me to fish (alas he caught nothing):

Great blue heron landing. by dcstep, on Flickr

Canon 7D, 1/4000th second, 500mm lens at f/4 and ISO 800 (it was very overcast, but if I'd had time to react I would have stopped down one full f-stop).

This demonstrates that nature photog should consider staying out when it's overcast. If you can get a close crop you can use +EV capture details that are hard to get in full sun. This setting is +1EV using AV mode.

This image would have been much harder in full sun because the sun is to his back and right shoulder. The contrast would have been huge and getting shadow detail on his underside (the real point of interest here) would have been hard. Also, believe it or not, the greys in the full sun would have risked blow out. This light is actually easier to work with than most think.

sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine... nothing can be "very unique". It's either unique, or not. There are no grades of uniqueness.

The1 · 05-15-2011, 11:15 AM

haha, fine.....

That's a unique shot Dave.

It just doesn't sound as nice as saying "very" cause you could take "unique" as a bad thing, and i think adding "very" in front of it, makes it a good thing.

But i see your point.

That's very true.

I just see it as one is complimentary and the other is a statement.

UdubBadger · 05-15-2011, 11:27 AM

So not to open the wrong can of worms or anything, but what is the fascination with bird shots Dave? I'm not knocking it or anything, I'm just curious what makes people do it and follow them so religiously. I don't really understand it all.
