Thanks Bill! You rode trials? Cool! That little Suzy was a really pretty bike. I remember several from my youth that were very competetive. There was one nicely restored one at this trials too, ridden by a real character, lol. I only got one shot, and the bike is unfortunately obscured, but...

A few shots from the motorcycle event we attended last Sunday while visiting my father. The sport is called "Observed Trials", which is not a speed race, but a test of skill. The riders go around a course, and along the way they have to ride through a number of "sections" - think of golf, where...

Fun with PS Sky Replacement. The flamingo is real.

My 88 year old father was an accordion virtuoso back when that didn't sound like the punchline to a joke. At 16 he won a national playing competition sponsored by the Hohner instrument company and was presented a custom orchestral model by Mr. Hohner himself, and he later played Carnegie...

"Uh-oh...."

@TwistedThrottle Great bundle of info there TT, almost none of which I was aware of. Thanks so much! I'd only recently read about the 17-55, and didn't know it had since been updated to the 16-80. I'll have to check that out too, now. Either one is gonna be a bit in future if it happens though...

Just wondering how it stacks up against the kit 18-55mm. I see the specs of course, but I'm curious if anyone has had real world experience with it and can tell a difference in picture quality.

. Ok, yeah, the whites are seriously blown out here. But most of it's green! .

My G-Shock Atomic Solar that I purchased in the early-90's has finally started to disintegrate. Still keeps perfect time, still syncs itself to the Great Clock in the Sky every morning, and can still keep going after taking a round from a howitzer. But 20 years of on/off bending has split...

Brand new, but half price at Amazon's "Warehouse" section because the plastic bag affixed to the cardboard card had a tear in it!

We're only supposed to post pictures WE took, not memes cut-n-pasted from the internet, right? Ok, in that case I know I posted this previously, but you're getting it again - this time with a caption! Said in my best Don Adams "Get Smart" voice: "He missed it by that much."

I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion on this. When I took the shot of Dell launching off his pad, I leveled the camera to the counter top it was resting on. The perspective then made everything in the background tilt. I kinda liked the effect at first, but then it started to irk me the more...

Edit: posted the wrong pic. Meant to put this one, with a straightened horizon.

For this week's "Stop Motion" challenge, I decided to bring in a pro. If there is anything more prone to looking cool mid-flight than a cat, I'd like to know. And as it so happens, I have a cat. Who likes to leap. So I set up his cat tree in my kitchen a few feet from my kitchen island, and...

I managed to get a couple of shots of this little guy on the wing as he was flitting from flower to flower in my yard. This wasn't my best shot for sharpness, but I like the composition. I was going to enter it in this week's "Stop Motion" challenge...until I had the bright idea to employ the...

I was out chillin' in my hammock this morning with Dell, when I noticed an oak leaf stuck to the top of my golf net. But something was odd about it. I got up and looked, then went inside and grabbed my camera.... I know they're not the greatest pics, but the sucker was a couple of feet over...
