Unfortunately the company that manufactures Doylem's remote-controlled sheep and swans doesn't ship to Canada..
Luckily, though, their North American branch had a remote-controlled seal in stock. Enjoy

Spectacular shot!
Wow, gorgeous dragonfly!
I like what I see! Finally the bugs are catching on! And since everyone else is on the subject of dragonflies, here's mine! I plan to print this out poster-size and put it up on my wall. I love the detail in the eyes.

I was at Road America last weekend to see the races (ALMS, Speed World Challenge, etc.). Here's the Aston Martin DBR9 exiting turn 6.
I experimented with slowing my shutter down more than usual for panning shots. From 1/250 or 1/200 that I normally shoot down to 1/160 and 1/125.
This one is 1/125 @ f/11, 95mm, ISO100

Nice! I love the look in her eyes.
Very nice! It has a good feel to it. I'm glad to hear your trip went well!
Thanks! I'm really looking forward to it!

Absolutely love the desaturation and overall rustic feel to this shot.
Great photo. What are those twisting streams connecting the clouds and buildings? Bizarre!
OMG... it's a signature in the sky...

C&C Appreciated
Not sure what to say. Were you interested in the sky... the tangle of phone wires... both... neither??
Portrait of a sleepy frog
I'll be leaving for Mexico in a couple of hours, so I guessed I'd leave you guys one last pic before I left. I am going to miss this lovely thread for the next 11 days!
This is a little baby frog, Hypsiboas crepitans (formerly Hyla crepitans) that we found while looking for crab spiders (Araneae: Thomisidae) in my U's botanical garden.
Here's a pic so you can get a feel for the size of the little thing.
No frogs were harmed in the making of this post.

I probably need to go back to the original file and redo the cropping. Doesn't look quite right to my eye, however, I love this old building. Really neat.
Alex,
Great shot, you might want to check out this site. Another photographer has been taking photos of "ghost writing" for a while.

I think it's something from the HDR, unless you mean the signature.
I do not know if Phrasikleia is speaking of the signature or the effect of the HDR technique. I will say that in many of the images the skyscrapers that reach past the horizon all had a glow around them, a backlight type thing. It wasn't planned nor preventable as far as I could tell. Here's the original color version, no signature, no HDR, etc.OMG... it's a signature in the sky...
