    Also, I hike in a kilt even in the snow, so I can say I do such a thing.
    That's as good a reason as I've ever heard.

    I'm wondering if I should do my bird photography in a kilt? Maybe we should have PAD - Kilt edition :) How's the AT treating you Pickerel?

    Anyways, This American Goldfinch went sorta viral from my facebook page..

    @JJ_SO, your LED shot is very interesting, nice lighting and flower, got me puzzled for a while.
    @NSXTypeR, nice perspective, I posted a fairly similar structure.
    @donalderose, that's an animal you got there, so big...
    @Tumbleweed beautiful detail and color on the body.

    Pierre, thank you for your comment!

    Which part of the world are you in? China perhaps?

    DSC_4688

    Taken with D800 & Sigma 35/1.4 @ F/2.2 & ISO 400. Plenty more to follow. And to JJ_SO, apologies to my rude, rude comment last week. It's shameful to me; I guess I interpreted your comment as questioning or even doubting the validity of my claim about the Sigma 35/1.4. Take care, all of you

    iSo the other day, Birdman and I meet at we went out shooting at the Del Mar Fair. A very good friend of mine is working the fair so we went to visit him and have some fun. Now, about a week ago my buddy (Tibor) and I had a very health conversation about his style of photography; he asked me what body he should get...I recommended: the D800. With only 675 shots on his new toy, he gave it to me for the day to play with and to put the body throw a 'workout." So for the next week or so you will be seeing me post picture I took while using it. In addition, I had a chance to play with Birdman's Sigma 35 1.4, while he played with my 24 1.4G on his D800.

    Another snail. After importing the pictures I saw this one has some hooks on it's house - that's new for me. Gastropodia Velcrolus? Anyway, I wonder how often photography was able to show things nobody saw before? Endless times, I guess.

    Pyramid 200

    Pyramid 200

    Something a little different today; instead of posting a photograph, today I'm posting some artwork;
    Sometimes I like to take pictures, but sometimes I like to create art; you have probably never seen the kind of art that I do; I don't use paint, charcoal, or pencils; I use........software, straight lines, contrasting colors, gradients, circles, squares, rectangles, geometric shapes, and occasionally, a few fractals..........and most important of all, an extremely vivid imagination. Sometimes the results I refer to as "line art", sometimes it's "pixel art", sometimes it's "gradient art", ........and sometimes it's a combination of a bunch of different things. Usually, most of the things I do have lots of bright colors, as I'm rather fond of colors, but sometimes the colors are not so bright.

    Today's example is not so bright, and it was all done with gradients; (something else I'm very fond of) I call this piece, "Pyramid 200"; I should probably explain, people are used to seeing pyramids as three dimentional objects; because I work on a two dimentional media, all of my pyramids have only two dimentions, ( like you would see them from above, looking down, or from below looking up ). Even though they only have two dimentions, almost everything I do has lots of "detail"; (I seem to thrive on detail.)

    Unfortunately, almost all of my work is still on the hard drive of my old iMac (which died many months ago, necessitating buying a new machine), and so far I haven't gotten around to transferring the contents of the old machine to the new one, so I don't have very much on Flickr yet, and I can't do more until I recover my software from my old computer.
