Not much today since I came back too late from work. Just a slug. Good thing these don't move fast since the light was almost out.

Played with the lens baby this morning and thought of this. I named it "Focus Pocus" :rolleyes:

If I keep looking, I find things. Just a water glass over a tablecloth, with a little magic.

It's going to be raining all day so I'll post an HDR landscape that I did yesterday late coming back from work.

Yup, it be pouring here right now! Quite the awesome effect with the sun coming through the clouds Marcel. If I was a religious man I would say God was peeking!

I guess I found my challenge subject. I was just going to the neighborhood greenhouse to get tomatoes and this guy flew over me with his powered chute. Took a few shots and followed him to his landing spot.

Looks like an interesting and almost normal guy. Makes me wonder what drives him to make the leap from being normal, to spending weekends flying that contraption.. :)

I don't know, but just by looking at the cars he had in his driveway, I would guess he has money. I'll maybe find out later as I gave him my business card so he could send me his email address so I could send him pictures (oh man that's a long bloody phrase). But I suspect he has a big job and this must be a good way to get away.

Excellent shot. I am sure he would love a print! Did you get the interview to post for this week's challenge?

After the interview, I was going to a nice spot I know and this is what I could see from there.

Another rainy day. This will be my picture for today since I'll have to drive to the airport to pickup my girlfriend who's coming back from europe. I hope some of you get better weather than we've had for the last few days.

Nice lines in that one, very creative for a rainy day. Also, very nice field and sky photo, too.

It's all AxeMan's fault. He's the one that saved my day by giving me this idea of the tool case pic. Thanks Rick. But my tools are different. :)

Just for fun, this one I took a few years back but it still makes me laugh.
