Out for the day. Haveta finish some work here, drive for four and a half hours, get work done there, drive for four and a half hours back, then hit the sack. I'll be a tired old man tonight.

In another thread, I forget where, I posted a picture of a couple dogs running across the prairie. The motion capture blurred them out. This is a picture of the same dogs, with the Sierra Nevadas in the background.

Garden of the Gods, outside Colorado Springs. It was too overcast for a good picture day, and then as Grandma and I topped a crest and looked back, the sun broke out to an outcropping.

I'm starting to forget what I've posted where. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been shown. When we visited Mount Rushmore, I got a nontraditional angle for a capture.

Have a grand day, everyone.

I am always amazed at how much talent and creativity is on this message board! Amazing photos, everyone!

I'm no photographer, but occasionally I take a picture that surprises me. Here are some of my favorites that I have taken. Most are of my daughters, I know, but dang it, I can't help myself.

Looks like it's just the UV lens cover though, that's not that bad. When she dropped mine it tore of the body, breaking the ring where it attaches and popping off the AF/MF button :D

It did get the lens as well as locked up the auto-turny-thingy (technical term) mechanisms inside. It was the kit lens that came with the camera, and it was nice, and losing it hurt. I had it perched on a ladder shelf, tethered to a strobe, and I tripped over the tether. Fall, crash, wail of horror (or cursing, take your pick). It hurt.

Ouch. That does sound painful...

I finished the photography that day, but the only other lens I had was a 70-300mm. I was shooting from the other side of the room just to be able to frame it. Awkward.
I actually like to take my 50mm prime out now and then. It's amazing how totally different your photo's turn out when you switch from regular zoom to what we like to call 'foot-zoom' :D
