I guess this would count as an entry. United States Coast Guard Search and Rescue Team.

Well I must thank all of you who offered advice, but Foul weather cancelled the show. FAA regs dictate that the lowest clouds must be a minimum of 1500 feet above runway level. Our cloud cover was down to 100 feet. About the only action we got to see was the "Combat Gulls". They were busy dive...

Using plurals make so many photos that would start with "S", therefore I'm going to cheat and drop the plural "S". That would make the last letter "T" TuliP Next letter "P"

Now for some long winded questions about something I've never successfully done. Saturday (9/24) I'll be going to an air show at a naval air station about 4 hours drive from here, and would like to get at least a few good shots. I'm nowhere near a busy airport so I have very little experience...

I had about an hour to kill so I stopped at a local cruise in. Weather was really crappy so the selections were very slim. I happened across this 29 Ford and I'm a sucker for old car front ends. (I can almost guess what Pete is going to say about front ends). Not having bracketing available...

Can't believe I actually got one. After four days of "Torrential" rain (16" in 4 days). I sat on the deck, hoping for a dove to come by. No such luck. Quite by accident I spotted Woody here. Still pretty overcast, so I had to push the ISO to 400. That's a marginal value for the D60, but...

I'm trying to figure out if I can upgrade my SD memory card. I'd like to get a Class 10 if the D60 will handle it. I read the manual, and I quote. "The following memory cards have been tested and approved for use in the D60. All cardsof the designated make and capacity can be used, regardless...

At the base of our front steps is a small planter (8x8) that just never got planted this year. Upon returning from work today, I looked in the pot and found this frog/toad (I don't know the difference) digging his way into the pot. Now this critter has been at the house most of the summer...

I thought I'd share some of the earthquake damage we sustained here at my house. For the record, my house is about 35 miles from the epicenter of the Aug 23, 2011 earthquake. It measured 5.9 mag. and so far I've felt three aftershocks. The worst was a 4.2 and occured last night. The last one...

Actually, this was in a National park. NO HUNTING in this area. I was very surprised at the number of Bambis that had twins this year. I used the term Bambi because I'm not sure what the plural of DOE is.

PFFFFFTTTTTTT She followed me around looking for a handout. Since we're not supposed to feed the deer in a state park, she finally stuck her tongue out at me and walked away.

OK, here’s the deal. Since I haven’t been able to get out for any sunset photos that would be anywhere near as remarkable as those all of you have already uploaded. However, I figure that Sunset and Sundown are the synonymous. I have uploaded a photo of a Sunflower that has wilted and started...

I caught this varmit eating some of my Tomatos.

I stumbled across this link while looking for Moon-Rise/Set data. Stellarium First, IT'S FREE. Second, it's cross platform (Windows, Mac 10.6, and Linux) Pick the one you want and download. It's a big file (about 45M) so if you have a slow internet connection like me, you can expect a...

I thought Pete was making up names for some of his flower names. I know better now.

I stumbled on this by accident. http://www.yowayowacamera.com/ The photographer's website is in Japanese, but you can get the idea from all the pictures. The model is also the photographer. She sets up the tripod and will either have a friend snap the shutter or use a remote.

Would you believe a "Landscape" Next Letter E Can I suggest that if a photos description is plural then we use the singular version as the next letter instead of another S (i.e. doG instead of dogS)

In light of recent events, I began thinking about safety. Now I’m not a safety expert, but I’ve been able to stay safe most of my life. Safety practices apply to every endeavor, including photography. Always be aware of your surroundings. Be aware of the weather. Make sure all of your tools...

Week 4. I wanted to take it over the weekend, but I have been a bit under the weather as well as quite busy.

I've been looking at the sky trying to find something that will fit with the category. After all, you guys already got the Sunbeams and Clouds and Moon and Storms. Then last night the Idea came to me. Why not shoot the dishes on the roof at one of the local TV Stations. They're in the same...
