Thanks Jeff. I really like the 18-200mm lens if I'm close to the subject. I wish I had gotten the full reflection though.

Stuck indoors

Ceiling fan

Ceiling fan w/flash - amazing how the flash stops the blade movement

No signal

The fan pics are great. Thanks for the perspective

yes ron, chris turned all of that stuff. I can turn bottlestoppers and pens.

i envy chris's talent. After working on a bread board in high school shop for a quarter i knew my talent was not woodcraft.

Practicing for this weeks challenge. Not sure which I like better.

Color

B/W - a tad dark??

lol, i think chris should turn the birds a new home. Maybe sepia?

 

[Marilynne]

I forgot to do the b/w conversion in camera, so I was playing with it on pixlr.

Chris did make that birdhouse for my mom in 1980 something, so it has seen better days. It looked better a few months ago when the virginia creeper vine was all over it. The lawn service decided to remove the growth. Post #3784 shows the growth. As a matter of fact, you commented on it back then also.

From the house across the street - it's been empty at least five years. Two owners ago, this house and grounds was a showcase property.

I think you are right, the BW birdhouse is a little dark. I like the BW version better, too, FWIW.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Woody. I think I just might go out and reshoot it, after all, it is in my front yard.

Thanks Roy. That's what I'm practicing for. I like the walkway best.
