Amphibians are cool, though, right? I’m thinking about using this one: https://plus.google.com/photos/113330053950020592701/albums/posts/5631668674755023986

Ah. That’s what I get for taking it literally, but I think we’re saying the same thing.

Mammals, birds, fishes, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

I’m not so sure that the last one was intended to be included, but they’re technically animals.

And all this time I thought you were the Duke of Plasma….

I’m rather dull and unimaginative, so there you go.

I like meat.

Meat is neat. I grilled 3 out of the last four days. I opted to take it easy tonight.

Yugoboy, I do that a lot too – it’s one of the advantages of digital. The big difference for me is that I don’t take nearly as many ‘experimental’ shots as I used to, because I know what things are going to look like in the camera. So, less screwing around, and more photo taking, even if many of them don’t see the light of day.

[olavf]

I think that’s also true. I take a lot of shots are variations on a theme, or, when I’m doing (especially hand-held) macros, ‘insurance’ that I didn’t flinch and muck up the focus, but on the whole, I think the shot-to-print ratio is much higher than it was.

Time-frame is harder to say though. I think the first 5K, I was doing a lot more going out and shooting 200 frames, whereas the last 5K I was going out more and maybe shooting 100 on a busy day.

[olavf]

Yugoboy I take a lot fewer pictures on an outing than I used to. I don’t know if I’ve gotten overly picky, or just in some rut, but 100 on a day out is high for me. Unless it’s something exemplary (like that trip down 395 earlier this year). I suspect that if I did more interesting things, the number would be higher, but…. =P

Heh, rav you could have said something. I’m trying to combine three hobbies here. photography, pron, and food. photographyfoodpron. (hey, I wonder if that URL is available)

CauseISaidSo it turned out better than the picture. The three kids inhaled theirs. =P

Farktographer, look at the picture. LOOK AT EEEET. You know you want it.

But, 10K seems to be some sort of magical milestone, at least for me. Kinda like flipping the odometer on a car- I’ve been ]using it. A lot.

395 is my favorite US highway. I can’t wait to run down it again.

/awesome shots. Can’t wait to see more 🙂

It may well have been the best burger I’ve ever eaten, to be honest. I managed to outdo myself…

I should have mentioned what it is – it’s a caprese burger. You’ve never heard of one because I made it up 😛
/please don’t consider this a plug, but the write-up on the recipe is here: http://nom.follandfamily.com/index.php/77-recipies/70-capreseburger and I don’t want to re-type all that.

My dragonfly pic this week is bokeh to the extreme, but not something I would submit to this contest. As Elsinore basically said, it’s bokeh, but it doesn’t exemplify bokeh, or really obviously use it as an artistic part of the photograph.

The trick is to make the background part of the art, without it being an obvious part of the photograph, IMO. And, it’s tricky 😛

/but, yeah, geom it certainly fits the rules, and the bill.

[olavf]

bwahahahahaha!

[olavf]

Thanks.

[olavf]

Els, can you delete my 2011-07-27 08:04:28 PM AND my 2011-07-27 08:03:33 PM please?

I’m really, really, really not having a good day =/
