Do you mean that no matter how many dogs you have in one thread it's OK, or that you definitely should limit how many dogs you have in one thread because too many dogs are not good?

(This is a take on an old SNL skit about nuclear reactors...anyone remember that?)

Sure, I remember. Is wasn't very funny, but was an interesting idea that I bothered to remember for a long time. You can't let a skit like that one go on for too long.

Do you mean that longer the skit goes on, the better...or that you should end the skit because too long is no good. (hehehehe)

No, I agree...that was my problem with so many later SNLs...the skits went on and on and on!

Close ups. As many dog nose closeups as can be had. :D

I've wanted to climb up on this momument since discovering it out here in the sticks.

Who might take a clear photo if I was to sit on the statue's shoulders just for the photo op?

Yes, you're right....the police. :)

Hang your privates on a private? He'd probably be for the union.:cool:

Something they have in Taiwan that I've seldom seen in the U.S. are these tennis racquets with electrified "strings", used to kill bugs. I got a mosquito last night (mozzy, as I recently heard my new brit friend call 'em).

Of course, another mosquito just bit my leg, apparently in retaliation for showin his brother what's up.

Awhile back an image reminded me of these, but until now I had no picures of them. We got a crapload of wood for our fireplace and camping, and most of it was covered with larve tracks like these. So, I thought I'd share them with you. I don't know why they're cool, but I love them. :Curtain up:

One with the bark on. You can see the perfect round holes where the worms crawled out.

A couple focus drifty ones:

And my favorite, I call "lost". Guess why :)

Funny, you're posting wood in this thread, and meanwhile...

They tunnel around under the bark because that's where the live wood with all it's sugary goodness is. ;)
They're cool paterns, nice pics.

We lost a beautiful huge elm tree in the 70s to Dutch Elm disease. Gave us firewood for a decade. Anyway, every stick of firewood had that same pattern on it. It's classic dutch elm disease evidence.

I read this thread yesterday & thought I'd have a go myself. I've learned that I need to get my instruction book out so I know how to manually focus my camera!

I am so amazed by what other people can do, I'm going to make an effort this weekend.

My pre-manual submission:

Last of pepper, frost last night. My 1st try at close-ups. Could never get into super macro. Flappin little buttons.

Must the close ups be our own?

I have lost the manual for my camera. If my cats could use the phone they would have called an exorcist last night because I was SO angry with myself I was speaking in tongues.

Anyway - I'm having to feel my way and therefore experimenting with quite mundane subjects. Please find below two filthy, filthy items from my flat - my watch and my remote. They are much cleaner now.

We need to know where the photo in post 262 was taken so that we can add it to the squirrel colour location study thread.
My guess is a safari park in the UK ...

Some bird got absolutely taken out in the quad a week or so ago.. this is all that was left on the ground

And one of my old high school photo class camera (was my mom's when she was in college back in the day)

sorry they're kind of huge.. I need to redownload PS *cough* I mean repurchase

Irfanview is free and it can resize the picture for you or you can set the jpeg settings to be somewhat lossy and reduce the size that way.

Hedgehog, again.

Nice Kitsune, I like it!

Hey, the Canon FT-QL - I have one of those. They came out in what, 1967? It was one of the first things my parents bought when they first moved to the U.S. I'm glad my dad hung onto it; actually, I'm more impressed it survived years of cycling old shit in and out of storage.

I believe one of the first cameras to use a TTL metering system (through-the-lens)? Or at least a version close to the modern one now commonly used?

Love using it ... usually keep it loaded with b/w ... but then I have to wait for the film to come back .. :(

My close-up....:D

My applause. :)

Anyone got a bib?

Uh, can I get a bib too! please?
RK, I'll grab the grinder and Leon, meetcha back in 5!

How many licks would it take to get to the center of that sucker? :yum:

OK, I'm officially lost. Totally.

Think :joint: :rotflol: :madhop: :fumette: :flycatch: :rollhappy :lol2: :rasta:











its weed

Yeah it still works great, with the exception of the TTL meter (but probably just noob high school user error) I haven't used it in years though.. might be fun to break it out and play around now that I've had more photography experience.

That's what I thought at first, but why is bruce licking it???? That's what threw me for a loop. Yes, I am naive, why do you ask?

Thank you for asking the question - I'm not averse to the real thing but didn't recognise it and was baffled by the licking reference too. It looked like something you'd find at the back of the fridge!

:::goes rifling through fridge:::

All those little drops of ambrosia nectar. :yum:

This bud's for *me*...or so I wish.

You've got quite a cooperative subject there rk.. does your camera have a macro mode on it? That'd make the pictures come out clearer and with that big ol wet nose in focus.

Yup, but it was dim and he won't sit very still for it.
These were just for fun.

What a cutie pie doggy dog! :)

He is a juvenile delinquent.

Why, is he a punk ass punk? ;)

Hell yes... thief, liar with no damn remorse... punk as punk indeed.

With a face like that, you don't need no damn remorse.

He knows it too... puts the "eyes" on ya'. They get HUGE.
He is evil.

Yep...the eyes almost always have it.

Evil in a cute kind of way?
