Toady I went to the park and was lucky and found the turtles bading in the sun! Two of them stayed to pose for me for a while as long as I didn't make that much noise... tey were really cute. And I didn't know they had such long claws/nails!?!

Thanks for looking and cc appreciated!

I didn't have time to post yesterday, because of work so today my picture for 01-30-2008.

A vertical version of a street and a horizontal one. I found out today that if I take my horizontal picture for a street I have to take a step back, so I get more dept in it. If I take it from the same place as the vertical one, the horizontal shot doesn't look right (in my eyes). What do you think?

Thanks for looking!

I shot these photos in the beginning of januari (I think now that the colors would have been better with an iso of 200) and didn't know which one to like more, the vertical or the horizontal. I still think both of them just give me a different feel. Which one do you prefer?

Thanks for looking and cc appreciated.

I guess you can say I love nature photography, so these are a couple of animals that I shot today! For these animal portraits it works a lot better vertical, to stay on theme:

And for everyone whose not from the south, this first one is an armadillo, which I had never seen before today, so I got really excited to have the chance to take a picture of it........... about a hundred pictures later I had one that shows his head and not the leaves. This nature photography takes a lot of patients.... and batteries!LOL

Thanks for looking and CC appreciated.

I am supposed to post another picture of the theme: words, but my creativity is gone, so today it's going to be just a picture of this mornings weather. It was really foggy and my first instinct was to stay in bed and not get up. But thanks to POTD I decided that I also needed to show pictures with no sunrise and gloomy weather.... so here they are!

And to go to the next theme: these work a lot better horizontal than vertical!

And another thing I learned, fog pictures need to be underexposed, because otherwise you don't have details.

Thanks for looking and cc is appreciated.

I finally got some creativity going... so I decided to play a little with fire, uhm more like with candles.

The word today is: Licht (light in Dutch). I tried it in Englisch but the G would not really show, so you all have to settle for the dutch. Now I have to get back and clean up all the drippings that I spilled by moving all the candles!
