A while back I promised to post some of my stock photography, and I finally got around to downloading and polishing some of them. I can't claim professional quality, but I think they are neat.

</td><td>Grass. Plain and simple.</td></tr>

</td><td>A single strand of spider web in the early morning. This one took me forever, and it still had bad focus!</td></tr>

<tr><td>

</td><td>A jumping spider. I found him when I was out wasp hunting. (I'm allergic to wasps, so I try to get the queens before they make nests all over our yard.) Spiders can't recognize objects, but they can see light, dark and motion, so I had to sneak up very, very slowly.</td></table>

Some random CG stuff:

Wow, those are pretty good. What kind of camera do you use?

Didn't anyone see you and think it was weird you were sneaking up on a tree branch?

Those are excellent photographs, nice sense of perspective and clear foregrounds and backgrounds. I especially like the grass one.

I'm a photographer also. I like to take sunsets and stuff. I've had several pictures shown on the news within the past two years.

I use a Canon A620, which I am very pleased with. My only complaint about it is the (short) 4x optical zoom. It focuses very quickly, and has a handy swivel screen.

A couple hours after posting this I started feeling lightheaded, and now I have a fever of 102.5. Everyone seems to be getting sick this week. I just hope I will be completely recovered by Friday, which is when our family of 9 kids is going to have a "shindig" with some very good friends who also have 9 kids.

On a different topic:

All the people who gripe about the YYG terms and conditions obviously haven't read 64Digits'.
