Photo of the Day - February 2009

Still screwing around

There is a certain grace and simple dignity in the people of Guatemala that's not easily appreciated except in person. The best this pic can do is to merely remind me of how I felt about the people I encountered during my week there this month.

Really nice photo. I just wonder what could be done about the head at the bottom of the frame. I think I would just crop the bottom to exclude it.

That's too funny - as soon as I posted it, I thought of the very same thing. I am BURNING through my photos from my trip, and I have to admit that I am not always 100% careful. You are 100% correct, and I thank you for your input.

This was taken with my new lens, which I'm having a bit of trouble with. Still can't hold it steady for far too many shots ... thinking of trading it back in for the non-IS model and use the cash for another trip.

Sorting through my Photo's lately... what do you think ?

Interesting to hear the IS isn't working very well for you on that lens. What's the slowest shutter speed that works consistently at 400mm? I'd like to get something long and stabilized, but I have the 70-200 f/2.8 IS in mind.

Two days ago it was -13C and blowing snow and today its 2C and sunny. This water drop was coming off the roof and after a few tries I got one worth keeping.

A shot of Charlie (Iorik) a few days after finding him wandering along a highway in the lower Baja desert. He doesn't look too bad here compared to what he looked like when we picked him up. Now a vigorous yellow Lab, he's an incredible boy, and one of my six adoptees.

Aperture runs so quick now Hopefully I'll be on more next month

Thanks. Actually, in the picture I posted the other day, Charlie was still largely skin and bones, although his eyes were very clear and his spirit was strong. I'll post another picture of him how he looks now real soon.

This shot taken after an overnight snowfall at our place in the Oregon coastal mountains. The dog is Tequila, another of my Baja rescues. They all adapted incredibly well to the change in climate, and love the water and the woods. The snow was a complete revelation, believe me...

It's wonderful what you have done for Charlie. Soon Charlie's eyes will show confidence. A little shy or unsure now, but still cute.

Here is an Internet companion for Charlie My wife adopted this one from a local shelter nearly two years ago. Her name is Abbie, a Rott/Lab with a very definite Lab personality and looks.

Cool - what/where is it?

Cool - what/where is it?

They are the "mysterious" domes in Casa Grande Arizona.
No one knows why they were built or what they were for. If you google ''domes of casa grande'' you can find some info on them but nothing linking to why they were built. People have been killed and raped there, I dont know why they just dont tear it down. It looks like the kinda place a bunch of tweakers hang out at night. I found out about the place from the book "Weird Arizona." They have those books for every state with stories from that particular state that are odd/strange/ghostly/ufo's... That kinda stuff.
Heres a few more if you wanna take a look.

Last Saturday of the month, Bit of a gray day, but grabbed the camera and went in to town to walk about a bit, and this guys from were in from Prince Of Wales Island. They were very friendly and curious, we just had to snap their picture. I bet hey would get along with Charlie as well.
