Except that it doesn't really appear to show four legs. It looks like the same picture of the same one leg, reproduced four different times, with four different “filter” treatments.

I was just looking back through a bunch of old threads, and I noticed that Benjamin Kanarek is now banned; which sparked some curiosity on my part. A few of his threads sparked some minor controversy, but I cannot see anything on his part that comes anywhere close to warranting him being...

I thought occurred to me, a question that needed to be asked, as I was looking at a recent thread where the OP praises the virtues of film. I hadn't really paid that much detailed attention to the challenge rules, but was aware that the use of a Nikon camera is called for, as well as EXIF...

I'd like to see a theme that involves effects, such as a Brocken Spectre. Alas, the conditions that make a truly natural Brocken Spectre are fairly rare, and even the conditions that allowed me to create this semi-artificial Brocken Spectre are not at all common where I live. Some broader...

Another radio-controlled model submarine, that I easily forget that I have, unless something makes me think of it. This one is much smaller, simpler, and generally less impressive than the other. Small enough to operate very comfortably in a bathtub, unlike my other one. In fact, here I am...

As with @ScottinPollock, I'm revisiting a concept I used a couple challenges ago. For “Floaters”, I used a radio-controlled model submarine, in a pond, along with a puff of Spirogyra and some fish. I also have this much smaller, simpler radio-controlled submarine. It's about three inches...

Radio-controlled toy submarine.

I'm wondering if you are basing your experience with these on a comparable experience with other NiMH batteries, or with disposable Alkaline or carbon-zinc batteries. A very long time ago, at a time when I was using a lot of disposable AA and AAA batteries for various applications, I bought a...

I was right. Spirogyra.

For the first time, ever, I ran it in a pond, rather than a bathtub or a swimming pool. For the current weekly challenge, I wanted a picture of it in a setting that was not quite so obviously artificial. I wouldn't normally run it in such a pond, because of the risk of losing it if I should...

After a bunch of ideas that didn't work, it was my wife, @Seanette, who suggested this box fan, by itself, which was an element from a previous failed idea. 1/80 of a second at ƒ/4.5, ISO 400. Light from an outside window, and a Sunpak auto 2000 DZ at full power, pointed straight up, with a...

First entry…

Third entry. (And in case anyone is wondering—the “curd” of a cauliflower is a dense inflorescence, composed of a very large quantity of tiny flowers.)
