No 2

I suppose its a grab shot,had put bread on the bench for the pigeons and put my camera down,saw this guy thinking can i pinch that while he isnt looking so slid my hand down to the camera and waited.

Kind of reminds me of this one. Shoplifting is a crime:

#1. This was set at 35 on my 18-250....didn't come out that way exactly but I'm standing in the middle of the river on a rock so it wasn't as if I had all day.

#2....I'm driving down the road and saw this place.....I had a little place to pull off. Again, 35 on my camera wasn't exactly.

There is no place like home.

Apparently it's rare to have them stationary as well. Or so I was told.

I've had the opportunity to take pictures of them a couple times, and I never witness one sitting stationary like your photo.

Maybe my ugly face and massive camera scared it into not moving Same thing happens to my wife!!

You actually know Rowan Atkinson?? OMG he cracks me up!

I must admit, Benny Hill was always my favorite but of the cast of Monty Python, John Cleese, Eric Idle and Michael Palin were the best!

What I meant is that the picture is a picture of a wax model.

Got it, that one is just too creepy too, right down the stubble!

Almost too real to be faked. But the character is absolutely cracking, for that I have to agree with you.

Rowan Atkinson reminds me a lot of Jonathan Winters. He really does not have to say a word to make you pee in your pants laughing. Man I miss that guy!

Entry 2: Bee in context



With using my Nifty Fity(ish) set-up, I was trying some close focus. Where I was not to happy in the beginning, it made me discover close focus pictures with context. It is certainly giving ideas for future pictures. Had to crop this time to get what I wanted.
