Thank you Liz. I'm trying to lead by example...I guess. I think it may be o.k. to still have fun..in photography. I for one still enjoy a good 'ol fashion walk-a-bout from time to time. So, I know we are all very busy, distracted by the way the world is right now...I encourage everyone to get-out, shoot have fun, share.

Last night.This weathered coin stood out in the change I recieved. Big money... Larger than life, as close as I could get with the 50mm { 14" min. focus distance}. This was shot wide open @ f/1.8 w / soft fluro' lighting. 100% res. crop.

Hate to say it Rick, but I've got a few years on that coin - nice capture !!
Here's a few 'up close' from a recent walk in the park with the dog - about 200 takes.
Thank goodness for digital SLRs !!

So is this thread in place of the "Just for Fun" thread or to run concurrently? Will future projects run in pairs? Just curious.

Anyway, my contribution to this thread. A successful hunt by a green heron from this past weekend:
