I love Blackfade‘s pic, but suspect that it’s ‘shopped…..anyone else?

I’ve never seen water droplets (or any other liquid) flatten vertically like that in a natural setting.

I don’t see what you mean. Where are the droplets flattened vertically?

I was griping about NO snow because we were supposed to get a blizzard Monday night and yesterday and I was really hoping for some cool road shots with deep drifts and wheel ruts and stuff. But it fizzled. Cold as … and windy as … , but not much snow and nothing worth shooting.

But at least I was not tangled in napkins.

There was a photo I missed nack in the early 80’s. I didn’t carry my camera at work those days, and couldn’t that day anyway cause I was on my way to court.

How cool is that, I was just eying up a utility pole on my street to photograph. Now to take the picture I want without my neighbors or the cops thinking I am nuts.

It depends mostly on what the theme is and how well I can deal with it. Sometimes I already have a shot for a theme, sometimes I get it the first shot, sometimes I can shoot till I have to quit without getting it.

I approve.
Of course the assumption there is anyone entering is willing to have their entries downloaded. Maybe it needs a “Except where the farktographer has specified the entry is not for download”, or something of tht nature? Or not.
