Honestly, I’m so used to people not putting poppy links up that I just right-click-open on any link out of habit.

Yeah. I know. I’m getting better. But it is not my default move yet.

corsec – i liked your ‘context’ thing…. but pop your links or i will learn to leap through your monitor and strangle you. =P

While I have no leaping or strangling plans, I also appreciate the popped to new page type link. It is especially frustrating to have a bunch of votes set up, click on a link and lose my selections.

/and can anyone tell me how to have folks click on the pic to a popped link?
//JK – I’m sorry you are in pain. Hopefully these cool macros will distract you for a few moments. 🙁

Elsinore, I was wading around in a slimy frog pond this past weekend and thought about you. Wait…that didn’t come out right.

This is from the series I (unfortunately) referred to. I don’t really like this crop, but I don’t have time or interest to do it better tonight.

[U-Man]

Oh hell. I’ll just save it. 🙂

Maybe I’ll submit a less than 2″ portion tomorrow just so that I can quit thinking about it. 🙂

Is a silhouette a shadow? I have a pic of a chewed up leaf casting a shadow on a whole leaf. The photo is from underneath the whole leaf with bright sunlight behind. Will that work?

/if it doesn’t, I’m sure it will fit in someplace sometime.

With the 40D, I would go with the Canon 10-22. In my opinion, the extra wideness is worth more than the “L” in the name. The 10-22 is a really good lens. I have one and love it. (get the lens hood, too)

I have less strong opinions about the longer stuff.

Corsec67 raises a great point. Panoramics! Don’t forget to shoot a bunch of those that you can put together later. I have had completely satisfactory results without a dedicated pano-head while shooting big scenes. Personally, I like the technique of shooting the pano with my camera in portrait position rather that horizontal. It make it less skinny. Don’t forget to overlap enough.

/question – are pano-heads more important when the subject is closer?

[U-Man]

I read a bit more after my initial post. That reading goes along with what you all have shared. They are in the not so great category.

/Thanks for the input.

[U-Man]

I may be late and I recognize your budget but…

I have the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro and really like it. It does a nice job for portraits as well.

I missed this one over on the themes forum. Looks totally cool. Thanks soosh.

/btw – there are some links over there that might help.

Some of you guys have good stuff this week. *cough* orionid *cough* .

Jeebus Christ. How did I forget the kudos to soosh last night. Wonderous stuff. I agree with Mopsy, you seem to have imported stars for your pics.

/wierd. 1-2-3 a couple weeks ago for the first time. Possible/probable 1-2-3 this week.

I almost skipped this one because I don’t really like what I have for this theme. The ones I do like really use the astral stuff for the setting, rather than the subject. I tossed one in just for the hell of it.

I’ll have to try some stacking. I like how that looks.

[U-Man]

Cool. E got in the mix. I was waiting for somebody to tell me to stick to the point with this thread.

So, soosh, what was the good stuff?

[U-Man]

I didn’t see mama’s head at first. Just the hair on her shoulder. I like that one.

I got some vicadin for a pulled wisdom tooth last week. Didn’t even open the bottle.
/sorry folks. can’t sell them. 🙂

[U-Man]

What’s up with the last one? Double exposure?

Either that deer is short or those dandylions are tall.

All of them are good. Thanks for sharing. Hope you get better soon (and have good pain Rx)
