    @ Msmoto.......Looks like your new "invention" works pretty good, Tommie! Very nice shot, BTW.....

    @ Gipper.......Great catch at 1/400th......now.....what happened when he came "back to earth" ?

    @ spraynpray......I just bought this marvelous book about steam punk....I think that guy is in the book! ( I love his shirt!) BTW...Is that you in the green reflections in his glasses?

    @ Coastalconn......You have a very quick shutter finger ! Another great catch!

    @ Witty_Nickname......I tried almost the exact same thing only with some sequoia trees a few years back. BTW....a fellow who is a very well known airplane "spotter" made a shot very similar to yours, and actually managed to catch an airliner almost perfectly centered between the buildings; ( I always wondered how long he had to wait for that shot)

    Tidewatcher says...."Can't help it...I like gracks...."; So do I Tidewatcher! We go for weeks without seeing a one around here, then, all of a sudden I heard this huge "commotion" in the back yard, ran to the window.......and there are somewhere between 50,000 and 10,000,000 purple grackles in the back yard ! looked like the swarms of locusts in Africa you see on Nat Geo ! None of our's had pretty blue necklaces on though.....All of the cardinals, chickadees, house finches, nuthatches, and 3 squirrels went flying up in the trees and looked back down like they'd never seen anything like it either!

    I seem to follow other people's ideas. First the flying guy on the bike, now the flying bird with a stick photo.

    MSMOTO - I really liked the dafidill shot. I had the same subject, not as was well composed or lit. I was curious, I saw a picutre of your set up on flickr. How is the result with out the flash?

    Something a little different; I LOVE pictures, and for many different reasons. I'm interested in lots of things, and pictures tell a lot of stories about many things we'll never have the opportunity to see for ourselves. Just recently, the Library of Congress released a whole collection of truly amazing photographs which were all taken before 35 mm SLR cameras were even invented; most are from the late 1930's to the early 1940's; I have no idea what they did to these pictures, or how they did it, but I think you'll agree, they're pretty amazing for that era. This particular picture is of a man who was a worker in a plant in Sunray, Texas that made carbon black; (which is commonly referred to as "lamp black" ). I think it's a truly amazing photograph.

    Worker, Sunray Texas, 1942

    @ spraynpray........It's really sad; so many companies back then had no regard whatever for their worker's health. This one here is the worst of the lot; I thought I would post a few if people don't object;

    Airborne

    That's a cracking capture.

    I've been up to the Lake District this weekend just gone but whilst not with photography in mind, I couldn't resist a good sunset at the beach.

    @elivishefer- THAT is a great capture! You should do marketing for medevil times!!
    @Gitzo- that is amazing. My grandfather poured steel for Temkin steel in Ohio after WWII. I wonder if he looked like this coal miner?
    @sand- I can't wait to try this shot with my old Pentax bellow and my Mamyia CS lens. What can I say you have inspired me :D
    @itsnotmeyouknow- Great shot! Very nice reflection and symmetry.
    @Postman- Wonderful sunset! Its looks like it should be in calender.

    Ton, I was wrong about birds not posing. Found this one shot last spring on the West Coast of Florida. I asked him to go for the "flasher" look.
