Came across this in the underbrush in Charlestown, RI this weekend. Just got around to unloading the camera. Come across them from time to time, particularly there, but rarely get such a good shot due to low lighting conditions. Thankfully the mother wasn't too close by, thus my head is still relatively attached to my body. I did say relatively.
Very similar interests, mainly local landscapes, my pets (5 cats) etc. Yesterday I was on a point overlooking the bay by my parents house and there was a fog bank with holes in it over a headland about a mile away. Had a little trouble with the autofocus, initially because of the lack of detail.
Looking forward to Thailand over Christmas and the New Year (1 month) should get a lot of shots.
That sounds neat. I definitely want to get into more scenic stuff. Would particularly love to do more stuff around the ocean, I'm not far from the water at all. I have three dogs and two cats myself, but I'm definitely more of a cat person. One of the reasons I like my current camera, is the autofocus works really well. Doing so much wildlife, I really don't bother with manual focus. You're lucky going to Thailand for a month! I absolutely love Thai cuisine. You should get a lot of spectacular shots there. I wish I had the opportunity to travel more. I've never been outside the US, except for parts of Canada.
at 50, i have been single for 18 months or so and never had so much fun . 2nd wife down the pan (thank God), both glad we're finished.
Looking forward to wife 3, wherever the poor girl is lookout!
Loads of time for my hobbies, garden, cats, holidays, social life, travel, etc....absolutely great. Occassionally could do with a good woman around the house but not permanently, not yet anyway.
Bring it on Thailand.
Travel is great, getting there is a pain but when you are somehwere new, the photo opportunities multiply by the thousand, not to mention the culture and peoples.
Just turned 36 about a week and a half back myself. Never married, though I wish I were. I guess it's true what they say, be careful what you wish for! It's funny, everyone I know who is in a relationship, married, or has kids, is thoroughly miserable. I wish for such, but don't currently have it. My friends envy my situation, telling me "I got the world by the balls", but often times I feel it's quite the other way around! It's funny.
Sorry it didn't work out. But anyhow, it must be nice to have some time to yourself to pursue many of the things you enjoy. Hope you have a great time in Thailand, that should be awesome.
Excellent shot Thomas. I believe that could win you an award. It is beautiful, I would certainly buy a print if I saw it in a galary! You must have a peace about you to have gotten him to stay still even that long.
Thanks Val. Thanks Cassie. I had actually taken at least 12 shots over a period of a few minutes from no more than 8 feet away. It was great. He made no attempt to move away until I stood back up. If you do wish to make a print of it, I will gladly e-mail you the full-size pic, good for up to 11x14 photo quality prints. I would post it here, but it is far too large both in dimensions and flie size.
Thanks again.
