Nice Photos.

Most of us have taken one or two nice photos.
Here is my candidate as being almost quite good. In fact it is two painstakingly joined.
Taken up in the mountain at Skurdalsvatn in 2000.
Though this one takien in Warsaw in November 2006 is not bad:
I know there are several good photgraphers here, and it would be nice to see some of you best efforts if you feel inclined to share!

Not anymore.
Got my camera (unrepaired) back from the dealer while parts are being ordered. Got to play around a bit and this picture came up.

Very nice composition, Maher. I happened to capture today something else with a very similar pose:
What parts does the D40 need?
Haim
Loooool. The similar pose does make one laugh Cool shot!
The D40x needs a replacement for the interface between the hotshoe and the rest of the camera. Apparently it is the part that conveys the signals back and forth between the sb600 and the camera's processor. They also ordered a part called "SB plate". I was told it is also part of the hotshoe mechanism. The SB-600 has a few millimeters of wobble even when it is clamped on the camera. I don't know if that is within acceptable limits.
The interesting thing is that the malfunction i used to have is happening less frequently now. Still annoying, but acceptable for a short time while the parts are shipped from Japan.

PS: Haim, did you have a guess of what might have been wrong with my camera? Did your guess turn out to be anywhere near the ordered parts?

Isn't it amazing how the insect world produces such striking close up images.
This guy ( one of the makes of spider that somehow presents as somewhat more appealing) decided to build his web across one of my window frames.
It is one of the european garden spiders renowned for building large beautifully symmetrical webs. This one is actually a full circle about 1 and 1/2 feet in diameter. Too big to photograph well enough so this is just a section.
...and here he is enjoying a 'sandwich' he made a few moments earlier ( when I wasn't looking).

That time of the year
High alpine pasture where they still make their own cheese and butter - I'd forgotten how rich milk straight from the cow (and unpasteurised) is.

Fantastic photo's - "he" is probably a "she".Tried to take some spider shots myself this last weekend -nothing worthy of a place on here.

Some fun at work with my iPhone and the Best Camera app:

I live very close to Wattisham airfield in Suffolk - where most of the UK Apaches are based.
They're often buzzing about, and very evil looking things they are too! Wouldn't fancy being on the receiving end of one; I understand you never actually see it when it gets you as it's likely as not hovering down low over the horizon.
Spookily quiet too. They sound similar to a light aircraft rather than a helicopter. Anyway, here's one I snapped one evening -

Daaaaaaamn Tony! That's one hell of an award winning shot! Love it. Your reminded me of a few photos that Joe McNally shot for national geographic's (I think) "Flight" edition. Lovely work
Regards.

The gun is good for over four kilometres, and deadly accurate with laser rangefinding. A friend has flown them in Afghanistan, and he loves the gun, but the weapon that not many know about, and it's never on the news or Youtube, is the flechette. It's a tungsten dart, about 5" long, and about 80 are packed into a rocket. The rocket is launched with deadly precision and at a predetermined time the rocket's body opens and releases the flechettes..... at about Mach 2 or 3. An area the size of a football pitch is then ripped to shreds, even thick trees are passed through. A dart passing close to a body can rip the skin off. A dart passing through just sucks all the internals out the other side. Nice.
And don't get me started on the Hellfire missiles!

Is such a weapon legal ??
