ok-ay, I found this on bad-riding and emailed it to FHOTD... er, she put it up almost instantly.... have a watch of the YouTube link and a read of the comments. Mine's on page 4 I think (in YouTube, I don't often comment on FHOTD). Holy crap, what did I do!!!! LOL! Mind you, the kid should be taken away from this crazy bitch by Child Services asap; people this dumb shouldn't breed, seriously:

Now because my last post was a whine, I've popped some pretty pics NOT BY ME under the cut, just stuffed from emails etc. I want to shoot like this one day. Enjoy.

Ok seriously, the fact that this guy got the steam fogging up as the bird sang is just amazing. This pic is probably one of the single best bird photos I have ever seen in my life.


I like foxies :-)


Apparently it took this guy weeks of patiently setting up and feeding this little ermine before he got this shot. Ah animal photography, so time consuming, so difficult, so worth it for results like this.


Fergus you rock, my man


The guy was actually trying to photo something else entirely and just happened to glance over for a moment while waiting, and spotted this little fella. he quickly shot a snap, had no idea if it would work, the ermine disappeared seconds later. Beautiful. You couldn't have set it up better.



Find the fox!!!!!!!!!


This is what you can achieve if you leave the shutter open longer and use a damn good tripod :-) (next on my wish list)



I just wanna ride down this road



This one and the next one were sent to me in an email, I have no idea who took them or I'd credit them. Incredible photography! Butterflies are notoriously hard to shoot, mainly because most will fold their wings together when at rest. And they will not stay BLOODY STILL!!!



God... the clarity of these shots... how the hell did he'she do it??!?! You'd need a very bright sunny but overcast day, a very quick shutter and hella luck. Damn...

The expensive lenses are fantastic. In my kit I have 2 Canon L class lenses with image stabilisation, each one worth over $2.5k, and they're well worth it.
