love that bird faced shot, and the mountain one makes me wanna go hike it, Lupe.
It's too bad you can't order online and ask them to leave it if you're not home.
could be done, but i dont like/trust delivery when im not home...i have 2 weeks vacation from work coming up, and have to be home for 2-3 days for workmen to come remove the cavity wall insulation - i might order a few things online then, so...but finding a stockist i trust....meauh.

Thanks for these pics, Lupy. Winter in the desert is very beautiful.

Snowy mountains by moonlight.
Oh, that's really nice. Did you use a tripod?

Do they still produce the same model that you prefer?

It was a quick experiment so I just balance the camera on a post. I was just curious if the shot was doable or not.

It worked well. Did you click the shutter manually or use a timer?

Me neither, but I've been wondering how much of a difference it would make.

It might, depending on the time between pressing the button and the picture actually being taken. With mine there's a slight lag giving me time to back my hand away so the camera will be still when the shot is taken.

Oh, my goodness. I guess she's fighting boredom, but I'm not sure who's winning. :lol:

My sister is going to have this photo made into a framed poster. One of her older sister's is in acrobatics, and the other is a cheerleader, so I think she was imitating them by trying to do a headstand or hand stand in her crib. :guffaw:

Now, scottydog, now. :evil: :D

These first shots are the day of the blizzard:
Blizzard warning 02-04-21 pasture 1.jpg

These are the day after:
Day After Blizzard 02-05-21.jpg
Day After Blizzard 02-05-2021.jpg
And this is how snow covered the road is, which isn't even near as bad as it can get:
+5 degrees Fahrenheit.jpg

Okay, fingers crossed, because I am not allowed to preview in here.
