Here's a few shots from days of yonder (last fall, spring etc.). The three first were taken from a moving car, so you'll excuse the little mistakes.

Okay I did some research and you are right, I found these guys!
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...f_may_2006.jpg Greyback Goose The reason why I associate them with ducks is because the ducks I am used to have longer necks than what I find online with other breeds. So they look more like ducks than geese to me if you think of their necks not being that long. Quote:
![]() Well if you take 100 pictures of a goose in different angels you can be sure one of the pictures will end up smooth! Plus they were around me a lot until they stopped swimming around.. Hey you should start taking photos of things around you too! Need more North America in this thread! its already a bit too Western Continental/North Europe (Netherlands/Finland/Norway) biased! *even if we are awesome ![]() Last edited by MikeLXXXVIII; 07-03-2009 at 02:17 AM. |

BTW, my brother has an 'in between' lens you can use to double the focal length of any lens you put on it. I would love to use that on the moon, to get more detail. If I had cash to burn I would buy an outrageously expensive telelens (800 mm or more) just for the moon, and a ditto macro lens (f/1 or so, to capture evey photon that has been reflected off the subject). Unfortunately these things are not only very expensive but also very very heavy. |

I'd have some pretty good pics of the moon (in the daytime) but the moon is always too small in the pics. I guess I'd need another lens too but as you say, you can't just get one for free
![]() Or then the moon should grow. Either way... |

I know, you must be pretty fed up with Annabel, but I'm quite proud of the picture I took yesterday. She was sitting on the couch, which had a black cover over it to protect it from her obnoxious digging, and the sun was illuminating her hair so beautifully from behind her. So I took a picture and used the Gimp to make the background totally black. The result is my new avatar:
