    Damned Squirrel

    I've heard it said that the wages of sin is death. I'm a bit dubious of that but I know for certain that the wages of rescuing a squirrel is becoming a human tree. I picked one up a few weeks ago on my way down 276. He was sitting in the middle of the road waiting to be squashed. I pulled...

    You guys really get it, that's fantastic. I agree that one should carry a camera everywhere, the crumpler is always on my shoulder. It's to the point that I feel strange walking around the house without the extra weight. The world is full of beauty in various forms, sometimes it's hard...

    Lightroom is a fantastic program but adobe doesn't play well with NEF's, that's the only reason I don't use it. In order to get the best results from a nikon file I'm basically bound to the ever so slow NX3.

    Oh, I'm sorry you meant the first one. No filter for that one either, the midtone caught a particular channel and I chose to stick with it. I'm rather fond of the effect though I have had trouble reproducing it.

    Nope, set the levels in capture and a light USM in PS, thats it.

    Thanks guys, I only shot a few frames yesterday and meant to do more today. I woke this morning and headed out to the biltmore house. The skies were cloudy but I thought perfect as long as it doesn't rain too much. As I pulled into the parking lot the sky opened up and proceeded to dump...

    After months of being on a waiting list I finally tried war calling around the country and found a D3 in a shop in Chicago. The body arrived yesterday and I snuck out this morning to give it a trial run... I think I'll keep this one. Cheers, Mike

    The things you will do for your dogs

    I raised Kilo on the BARF diet and he was a very healthy pup. In the last few years I got lazy and started feeding him dry kibble, since then he has had skin problems. It might be time to get him started back. The transition will be a pain in the ass and his system likely won't respond well at...

    New Snake

    Beautiful, I just came in from the back shower area, there was a similar corn on the partition. I've seen him there a few times but this time held out my hand and let him soak up some heat. I was gentle and the little bugger ended up climbing over me for about fifteen minutes. This one must have...

    Digital camera ponderings

    Thanks, Actually I picked the D2H up for around 2k last year but they can be had used for around half that now. Too much emphasis is put upon pixel count from most new photographers. I have sold quite a few 16x20 prints from the D2H that were in no way lacking. I have replaced my old...

    Thanks Nerri, The 200 was used for three of those shots but it's in for service now, I feel as if I'm missing a limb.:(

    Unexpected Guest

    Just a few minutes ago I was typing on the PC when I heard Kilo barking his head off in the back room. I figured that he needed out but when I walked back there he was still barking seemingly at the folding chair that I have in the corner. I saw a tail and put kilo in his kennel. I removed...

    Another GSO

    Thanks folks, GSO's are common around here and are the largest true spiders that I have ever seen. This girl probably measured around five inches.

    I walked headfirst through this big girl's web this afternoon after botching an eagle shoot.
