Funny thing, you could wait a lifetime to catch the little buggers, they are quick and quite shy. They landed at least half a dozen times outside my study window (2 metres away) while I was browsing the forum so I just picked up the camera and waited and shot through the closed window.

The next photo will have hair in it.

Al.

[leon]

Love the colours Al, nice shot.

leon

[Dennis]

It is highly unlikely that you have offended anyone, certainly not me and I’m sure not RB who asked an honest question. Like you, I haven’t read the guidelines; didn’t even know that there were any!

Purely by chance, it seems that I assumed that photos had to be taken by the poster – purely by chance you didn’t, but no harm was done or intended by anyone.

So, don’t go away for the wrong reason. Get that camera out and let’s see your stuff – it could be quite interesting given the previous photos you posted? It would be a real shame if you missed the daily fun at IIS, and equally well we may miss your talent, so pause a while before you go.

Cheers

Dennis

[dukesisking]

I must admit the photo with the glass I didn't take, unfortunately it is of me eating whilst going to see Dylan a couple of weeks ago.

Now, of the hair, how about some dreadlocks...


Acceptable??

If so the next photo will be of a strange place...

[Dennis]

Elanda Point (http://www.elanda.com.au/index.htm), Lake Cootharaba; a strange and magical place, where kangaroos can walk on water….

The next photo (taken by the person who posts it ;)), will have “bright, vibrant colours bursting out all over”

Cheers

Dennis

[RB]

No one was offended Noddy, my apologies if it came across this way.
I didn't want to offend you because there was every possibility that you actually did take those photos and they look very professional.
My apologies also as I took for granted that people would post their own photos so we can see their work and hence did not outlined this in the rules, I've amended it now. Also there are copyright issues we have to be mindful of when posting on the forum.

As Dennis has so eloquently stated please don't go away, there was no intentional harm done.

:)

[Rob_K]

A sunset taken (by me! :P) near Cobram a few years ago...

The next photo will have a tower....

[acropolite]

Thousands of people line the beach at Low head in protest of the Federal Governments approval of the controversial pulp Mill in Tasmania, which will be the mother of all CO2 emitters, polluters and an obscene consumer of native forest. The majority of the population are opposed to the mill. Absolutely rediculous that governments are so irresponsible in this day & Age. The next image will have an old and stylish building in it.

[Omaroo]

Restaurants down at The Rocks, Sydney.

The next photograph shall have a ships' bow in it.

[Omaroo]

You mean the mill sanctioned by Peter Garrett?

[Omaroo]

Righto - were looking for something space-faring :)

[Dennis]

Okay, I’ve waited long enough for an ISS or Shuttle photo. Materials and equipment used by a Space faring nation on missions.

Velcro:
1969 Jun 7 - Use of Velcro in Apollo CSM discussed
ASPO Manager George Low suggested to MSC Director of Flight Crew Operations Donald K. Slayton that beginning with Apollo 12 Velcro applications should be "in a spacecraft configuration and not vice versa." In the past, Velcro applications had presumably been made in the spacecraft to conform to the configurations used in training.

Buzz Aldrin's Apollo 11 Suit
http://history.nasa.gov/alsj/a11/AldrinLEVA7.jpg

Space pen:
The famous space pen, which is still a popular product today, was developed by Paul Fisher the founder of the Fisher pen company. An engineer who improved ball point technology, he created his "bullet pen" in the 1940's, which became one of the best-selling pens of the Twentieth Century. Later, he perfected a pen that was sealed with pressure inside of the cartridge that made the ink to flow regardless of gravity. It also worked in high and low temperature extremes, underwater, and wrote on many kinds of surfaces. According to the Fisher Pen company, after extensive testing, NASA chose the pen in 1967 for use by Apollo astronauts and it's been a part of space travel ever since. The company says it took Fisher about 2 years and $2 million to develop the space pen. Prior to 1967, there were no pens that worked in space so there were pencils used, but there were concerns about pencil dust floating around the space capsules as well as fears that if the tip of a pencil broke off and drifted into the electronics, there would be problems.

The next photo will have “Something spherical” in it.

[Omaroo]

Excellent Dennis :) It could have been a Russian (who would know) pencil!

[Dennis]

Thanks Chris – I became impatient whilst waiting for someone to post an ISS overpass photo! I couldn’t find the only one I took some time ago with my Minolta DiMage 7hi.

Yes, and it stinks too. I used to keep a supply of "Body Bags" in the workshop. I'd sniff a radio or cassette player before opening, if I could smell them, in went the machine to a bag with a liberal dose of Mortein and it was deposited outside as beyond repair. :lol:

Bill

[sheeny]

I hope this is audacious enough!:shrug:

The view looking up at an English Reeved (or Kootenay depending on which part of the world you are from) Highline as you are being lowered into the pit of eternal peril on a nice sunny day...:)

The next photo will have something musical in it.

Al.

[Dennis]

Looks audacious to me Al! :scared:

Hmm, the outer sheath of that 11mm climbing rope looks a bit ragged; I hope you retire it soon! Only one screw gate karabiner? I’d want 2, back to back!:whistle:

Cheers

Dennis

[Ric]

Something musical, my wife made this cake to celebrate the hospital where we work 25th birthday. The then CEO wanted an Elvis theme.

The next photo will have something with FIRE in it.

[acropolite]

Rural firefighters tend a grassfire that was started by, of all people, a Policeman. The next image will have a Policeman (preferably doing something sensible), in it. The fire had the potential to spread in to a full blown bushfire, although the threat to houses where the picure was taken was low.

[spacezebra]

Police arresting a Border Stargazer at Buckingham Palace!

Next Photo - "The hands of time"

Cheers Petra d.

[leon]

Leon :thumbsup:

[sheeny]

"The hands of time... pass it on".

The next photo will have a hat in it.

Al.

[danielsun]

The next photo will have something half built in it.

[acropolite]

Our house as close to half built as I can find. The next photo will have something reptilian in it.

[Dennis]

Thanks Phil – I can get my foot in the door once more! LOL!

Water dragon at Alma Park Zoo, Brisbane.

The next photo will have “strong primary colours” in it…

Cheers

Dennis

PS – house looks good so far – good luck with the completion and moving in.

[acropolite]

I took the photo in 1999, we moved in mid 2000. :rofl:

[Dennis]

:doh:Whoops – guess who hasn’t been paying attention…:ashamed::whistle:

[sheeny]

Closest to primary colours I could find.:P

The next photo will have a Christmas feel to it.

Al.

[gary]

Hi Al,

Nice picture!

Where was it taken?



Santa has his work cut out for him, so here is his Apprentice,
about 20 clicks up the Sangker River from Battambang, North West Cambodia

The Next Photo will have a telephone in it ...

[sheeny]

The Entrance NSW. Taken a couple of years ago while on a weekend away.:)

Al.

[nmo]

I just purchased a 1000D and need to learn lots of new things,

The next photo will have "Something New & Shinny" in it

[AlexN]

My Shiny New carbon fibre RC!


The next Photo will have "amphibian/s" in it

[Dennis]

Nice one Alex!

This is the water dragon that lives under our house.

The next photo will have something to do with “texture” in it.

Cheers

Dennis

[AlexN]

Brilliant Eastern Water Dragon portrait Dennis... This guy seems to be a real poser for you.. That must be wonderful.. My little dragons are still not too happy about DSLR photography :) Soon.. hopefully!

Texture hey... Texture... :)

[AlexN]

Ok, Ok...

Not to flood the thread with water dragons..

Texture!

1st image is the texture... Cropped from the second image.. :)

The next photo will have "Spirals or Rotation" in it.

[Dennis]

Hi Alex

This photo was taken with the 400mm f5.6L, hanging out of our lounge room window, hence the very shallow DOF. Lizzie doesn’t seem to mind me pointing the lens from the window, but as soon as I try to set up in the garden, she’s off, keeping a respectable 7-10 metres between us.

Cheers

Dennis

[Dennis]

Hi Alex

Excellent detail and sharpness in the texture of the skin! A red LED suspended on a string in our garage, producing spirals and rotation!

The next photo will have something to do with “good news” in it.

Cheers

Dennis

[sheeny]

A little bit of rotation...

Whooooopssssss!!!! Too late!:lol:

Al.

[AlexN]

Dennis and Al, Both fantastic shots! I love that shot of the LED Dennis... Would make a great desktop background... Pm me if you'd be able to email me a high res copy!

[gary]

Hi Dennis, Hi Al,

Wonderful spiral/rotation shots! :thumbsup:

Al's has the type of motion in it much favoured by National Geographic editors
when it comes to selection of images. :thumbsup:

Best Regards

Gary

[sheeny]

No idea what was said, but it has that good news look about it...

The next photo will have family in it.

Al.

[dpastern]

Shot of my dad, one of the first shots taken with the 1D Mark IIn. Usual adjustments to WB in Photoshop, contrast, hue/sat and some sharpening done. This is a simply resize (bicubic sharpening) from the original full res shot.

Dave

edit: this is one of the last shots of him where he looked healthy. Sadly, his health has declined due to a lengthy period of stay in hospital whilst they investigated stomach issues. These days he is very gaunt and only getting thinner as he loses more weight.

[sheeny]

Nice one, David. Sorry to hear about your dad's health issues. These things are tough on everyone.

So what's next?:)

Al.

[dpastern]

Thanks Al. He's had his stomach removed due to Stomach cancer (which is spreading). He's on both tablet & liquid Oxycontin to help with pain, but is still happy, and still eating like a little piglet. As long as he's happy, that's the main thing.

Next image, let's make it a flower.

Dave

[sheeny]

OK. A red flower from Noosa Gardens.:)

The next photo will have something leather in it.

Al.

[Dennis]

Nice on Al! Here is…a black leather belt on a black leather chair…Two for the price of one!:lol:

The next photo will have something to do with a "public gathering" in it.

Cheers

Dennis

[acropolite]

Death of Democracy Rally, March 14th 2008 (My birthday, Albert Einsteins as well). At salute is Dr Warrick Raverty who gave a colourful and stinging speech (http://tasmaniantimes.com/index.php?/weblog/article/rpdc-anniversary-of-a-serial-killing-james-james-priority-prioirity-priorit/). Dr Raverty was on the Government panel who were assesing the controversial pulp mill, when it became obvious the company couldn't meet the guidelines set by legislation, the legislation was changed, the assesment panel dismissed and a backdoor deal brokered to allow the mill without proper environmental standards. If you're unaware of the background surrounding this process it's worth reading Dr Raverty's speech and this essay by award winning Tasmanian Author Richard Flanagan. (http://www.themonthly.com.au/?q=node/512)

The next image will have something SPOOKY in it.

[Dennis]

A spooky spider :scared: in a dark corner of Toohey Forest…

JD

[sheeny]

Al.

[dpastern]

Dennis, sorry I missed this shot earlier, that's a lovely shot of a Argiope.

Dave

[dpastern]

Is this acceptable (it has white lines/markings). If so, the next image should have water in it.

Dave

[Dennis]

Thanks for the ID, Dave!:thumbsup:

Cheers

Dennis

[sheeny]

Plenty of water...;)

The next photo will have something loud in it.

Al.

[leon]

[dpastern]

Here we go, my lil girl named Winnie.

Dave

edit: the next image should have a statue in it

[leon]

Hey Dave, now that is pretty cute, and a nice pic as well.

Leon

[dpastern]

Thanks. She's a beautiful rattie with a lovely personality. I have 4 lil girls - Winnie, Buffy, Rosie & Daisy. All are rescue ratties. Wonderful pets. WB (white balance) is probably off in the image, when I worked on it months and months ago I didn't have my calibration tool installed.

Dave

[Dennis]

Here’s a statue we came across at the end of the Eleanor Schonell Bridge at UQ.

Cheers

Dennis

Cheers

Dennis
