March 2006 Photo Competition DISCUSSION thread

Off to Lanzarote next Thursday. Does that count as "Taking a Break? :D

 

Well done Paladin and thanks for coming up with a theme for March's competition.
I've got my camera and thinking cap at the ready.

 

Palustris, that photo is so lovely. It looks like a baby, was it taken last year?

 

:D Dave W...Kit-Kat...!!!that was the inspiration I needed!

I nearly entitled it - "Have a Break Have a ...". But decided it was too cheesy

Like the zonked out moggy.

Palustris - How did you manage to get so close - did you use a long lense?

 

now i've finally got my pics to load i'll try an entry.
DaveW i'm in a minority .. I like plain Kit Kats.

 

love it, Dave W! Fantastic photo!

 

The greenfinch was asleep on the bird table in February this year and I go to within a couple of metres before it woke up. It probably was sufering from salmonella poisoning I am told. Camera is a Fugi 5600 and the setting was on Auto with no Zoom at all.
Fabulous pictures so far.

 

From now on, all trainable animals, birds, etc will be expected to perform on camera, with chocolate biscuits at the ready!

 

Spent ages looking for a hibernating hedgehog to wake up for a photo opportunity. The best I could find though was this -

 

Something tells me you have the odd spare minute or two on your hands, Dave W.....
He's wonderful!!

 

It only took about 15/20 mins Honeybee and was much more fun than watching TV.

There are only three frames in the animation and one is a duplicate. I started with the original photo, added highlights to the eyes and then made another frame with closed eyes.

Now you know how easy it is!
