Nice harrier image, George!
Week 9 - Looking Up
I had all kinds of ideas for what I might do for this category, but this one presented itself and really surprised me when I looked up. It's really windy today and as I walked through the park I kept hearing this little whistling sound. I kept thinking it must be the wind blowing through the metal roofing of the pavilion, but it was a little strange and off. That caused me to start looking around... and then I looked up. Almost looking like someone had decorated the tree were probably ~40 of these birds with their absolutely beautiful colors. It so floored me to see them all up there that this picture had to be my Looking Up entry. I will remember these guys and see if they come back for me to shoot another night.

Very nice shot, it looks like spring.
Week 10 - Entrance
In a few short minutes, as this day ticks away, my daughter will make her Entrance into being a young woman as she turns 18. I am extremely proud of her as she accomplished so many things for me to be proud of. And even though she hates this photograph, I love it as it is the last photograph I will ever take of my little girl. Happy Birthday Mikala.

Great picture along with a fathers sentiments.
I made the decision at an early age i was not father material,too protective, too selfish,my first wife felt the same she would rather have had a new lens for her Hassleblad,the current Mrs Wilkiinson had already got a grown up family (i say grown up in a very lose way
) so i was let of the hook there.

love the look when i use my mouse wheel to run over the photos.
I can't imagine inhaling this stuff.
HA HA! I pulled off the impossible - one shot one kill! Ok, no one was actually killed, but I am that excited. The above shot was only of three of the four children. The problem was capturing the littlest one. She is a little under 2 and completely wiggly and undirectable. However, I decided to go for the impossible and see if I could get a shot of her like the brother and sisters. My plan, feed her, get her in a really good mood, then rush her out to the studio. My wife would place her on the stool while holding her at arms length when I said go. I still have the lighting set up so all I had to do was catch that moment she gave me a profile while she was looking at my wife making faces and sounds that would hold her attention. In one swift placement of the child, a goofy sound/face from my wife, and there was the shot - I pulled the trigger and captured her profile. The mom is so excited because all four of her children are now in the shot.
Having pulled this off, I think I will go outside and capture lightning in a bottle.

Very nice,not an easy subject to get detail in.
And it's truly amazing when I use the Raynox to see detail that I never knew existed as we just don't see it without the magnification.
Thanks for the compliment.
