Very nice. Sorry to be a pain.

Jim, you aren't being a pain, you are just keeping me from getting lazy on the post processing.

This is one of the cars that was auctioned off at the Cruzin The Coast today in Biloxi, Ms.

Avery Island in Louisiana is where they make Tabasco Sauce and while driving around the island I spotted this guy in one of the ponds.

Did you take the Tabasco tour?

Did you take the Tabasco tour?

Yes I did and I have to tell you that the five minute tour after driving 3 1/5 hours to get there was a BIG let down.

 

[Marilynne]

Five minutes?? Guess they didn't take you to smell the vats like I saw on TV. Those people passed out.

I went to a reenactment today and it was very difficult to get a shot without something like cars, port-a-potties or something else in the background to ruin the shot!!! Here are a few I managed to get. And just for the curious who want to know, the South won!!!!!!!!!

It's funny how reenactments in South always seem to turn out that way.

This was shot on my D600 with my camera set to DX mode making the 600mm shot equivalent to 900mm.

Nice Dragon fly,Jeff......and gator too

I was wondering if anyone would look close enough at the photo to notice it!

 

[grandpaw]

The gator left and went to the other side of the pond but then decided to return and give me the evil eye.

This is what happens when you jump and you butt doesn't go as high as your front end!

great gator shot Jeff, nice clear water too

 

[grandpaw]

This was taken with my Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm and I believe it was in DX mode on my D600 effectively stepping it up to 900mm I need to try shooting at maybe a Fstop of F8 or F11 instead of wide open at F6.3 and use my tripod to see what this lens can really produce.
