Newb gave me this Idea. One of my favorite reasons for getting the 105 Actually, the Black widow is a very docile critter. I was able to get to about 18 inches from her without disturbing her web. A co-worker had just gotten her D7000 and opted to use her 70-300 and stood about 6 feet away...

Just thought I'd stir things up a little. Had the wife fix up Dakota for the new year. (Dakota did NOT like it). 2012 started out good for me then turned around. I'm hoping 2013 will be a little easier on me so I can get out more. Perhaps the rest of you would like to share your first shots...

Might as well add my 2 cents worth. I caught this one last January. Looks like it's about to be relevant again.

I realize that not many are using Windows 8 right now, but It appears when I make comments or open a post, the "Enter" button is ignored. I just got this laptop (early Christmas present). I was just wondering if anyone else was using Win8 and if they had a similar problem. I also tried...

Go ahead and max out the cards. (Not Original. Stolen from the internet)

We all know there has (at one time) been life on Mars. I was was talking with a buddy who accidently (on purpose) leaked me a photo taken by Curiosity. I'll attach it here as Proof.

Took this one about 2 years ago. It's five shots high. I was experimenting with MS-ICE right after I downloaded it. Needless to say, the grandkids make out like bandits in this house.

Rural areas don't get many cars but we do have an occasional show. Unfortunately, they always park them too darn close together.

I haven't had a chance to do much of anything with the camera this week. I did have to cross the mountain this afternoon, so I stopped at an overlook and took a few shots.Massive haze going on so this is the best I can get. What surprised me is that if you look close enough, you can see faint...

I say Pick a lens you want to try and rent it. Rented the 70-300 vr last weekend. Hardest thing to do was ship it back this morning. I used it for the Naval Air Station Show this past Saturday. I used lensrentals.com, but I'm sure there are many others available.

NOT FOR JUDGING Took this one Saturday so it doesn't meet the criteria. I never thought to hold the camera vertical which is why it's so squashed. These guys were parked right in front of our seats at the air show.

What the heck do I know about art???

Day Two Hundred Forty Four I would consider today a "Good" day. I had to leave work for a while to get my car inspected. That's an annual safety thing in Virginia. It passed with flying colors. (not bad for a 14 year old car). On the way there I spotted this balloon. I managed to drive...

Day Two Hundred Forty Three No clue as to what type of plant this is. It is about 6' tall and 10' across. Only way I could get close enough for this shot I was looking directly into the sun.

Day Two Hundred Forty Two A feeble attempt at a spider shot. Not very good is it?Just don't seem to have the nack of taking decent bug shots. I've got the 105mm Macro lens but any time I try to get within 12" of the subject, it just won't focus. Wish I could figure out the trick to doing this.

Day Two Hundred Thirty Seven through Two Hundred Forty One Sorry for the delay in posting. Had a bad reaction to some new meds and took a while to get over them. I was able to take at least one pic each day. Now I have to get them posted. 237 - Part of my neighbor's flower garden. 238...

Day Two Hundred Thirty Six Beautiful clear afternoon. As the moon began to rise, I decided to set up so I could shoot that. Then a filmy cloud cover started rolling in. Anyway, this is the clearest I could get.

Ok, this is me. I'm probably one of the least photogenic people in the world, so I figured I'd double your pain when looking at it.

Day Two Hundred Thirty Five My Evil Twin and me. No, I don't have a twin. It's me times two.

Day Two Hundred Thirty Four Hangin' on. Almost all the leaves have died on this plant but there about 5 clumps of tomatos just like these shown.
