All Photo's taken with Nikon D60

EWWWW, your triantula gave me the Heebi Jeebies! Great Pics. I have been thinking about doing it but haven't made up my mind.
ReplyDeleteFirst off: Thanks for playing along :D
ReplyDeleteSecond: I'm getting the chills with the snow, even though we had some last night too.
And I really get the chills with that furry Beastie,....uh,...... :D
I love your shots and I'm glad you joined up :D!
Yay!! Glad you decided to do this challenge with me! You are off to a really great start, all your pics are great! Is that an African Gray? Where did you take that cool blue self portrait?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I give up -- what is #20? How did you do that?
ReplyDeleteloved #16 :-)

I had the exact same ideas for local products-both 3M and General Mills! Nice work- loved the tunnel shot! I still have 3 left to check off my list, going to get them done today!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the hunt! The post it's shot was hilarious and smart. Your night sky also stood out as a favorite. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThe night sky -- OH TEACH ME HOW TO DO THAT! I can't get off the green box.
ReplyDeleteBut, your portrait in the tanning bed was really the best photo of all.
Hi! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteI love your odea of the local stamp and the mailbox...
thanks for sharing
BG
Where did you manage to find a $2 bill these days? Haven't seen one in years!
ReplyDeleteYour night sky is fab, and I love the angles on a great many of your shots, but my absolute fave is the tunnel shot. Very sci-fi, and very cool!
@Kristi - Thank you, sorry I took your ideas ;) You did a great job as well!
ReplyDelete@Chris - Thank you - I made everyone in my office save their Post-it's and dig any out of the recycling bins!
@Pamela - I'd love to teach you, but there really is nothing to teach, set your shutter to stay open for a bit and get a tripod (and then don't bump it). The tanning bed is my favorite too, and yes, it was off.
@BG - thank you, you'd be surprised how many mail boxes are different fish around the lakes up here.. it seemed only right!
@Mojo - My grandma sends cards with a $2 bill every Valentine's Day and Halloween; I have a collection of them. The tunnel shot is another fave of mine as well... hard to stay steady in the back seat of a car!! Thank you!
6 and 14 are tied for my favorites, but they are all great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lynne! Don't forget to follow the link and vote for me! :)
ReplyDeleteGREAT JOB!!! I love them all and it is fun to see another part of the world. I didn't know you had so much water there! WOW! Great shots, I love them all and will get on over there to give you my vote!
ReplyDeleteOkay Ang - I finally took some concentrated time to look. I like, I like! Hard to pick a favorite, so I won't - but I love your interpretation of "Sign of the Season" - very cleaver! I think your night sky and your sunrise are fabulous - especially knowing your anguish over the sunrise shot - I love how it peeks out of the tree line. The tanning bed is really cool - (or is it hot?). The post-its pic was really fun - you must work with a lot of great people to have them go through their trash for you! :) One of my very favorites is the local weather - the detail of texture there is great - makes me not feel quite as bad about snow when I look at it! Keep it up!
