And then mere seconds after seeing those very first photographs ever taken in human history, both Talbot and Daguerre immediately saw the potential for creating pornography! And lo, the sun beamed through the clouds and the sounds of harps and choirs could be heard across the land. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the TRUE first photos ever were of naked women. Then after they got it working, took some dull snaps out the window for the history books.

Chaser, is that your pic? Very nice!

This one was taken a couple nights ago, field fire along the foothills by my house.

Nikon D300, 35 mm fixed lens, 1.8f, 30" exposure 200 iso. As usual 0 photoshop work.

No, not mine. It was shot with an ancient Pentax camera at ISO 1600. Quite the interesting bird. It looks more hairy than feathery.

A couple from Kragero Norway. There are about 700 little rock islands with vacation homes for the Oslo wealthy. Power lines lay on the bottom of the water from rock to rock. The only way to get to any of these islands is by boat or pontoon plane.

The first shot is of some harder rocks grinding out a round spot in the softer rock from the tides.
Second shot is one of the islands shot from the top of an adjacent one where we stopped and ate lunch with the locals who spoke no english but were super friendly and a friend of the people we stayed with.

Hey guys...

I'm not into photography, but saw this thread and thought I'd make a contribution. This little guy liked to hang out on my deck (former residence) every night during the summer months for both years I lived there, lol. He would show up around 1am every night, and I really got to be pretty funny.

The beer and the fog shots are not mine, but I really dig them and thought others would too.
