I goof up all the time with my fingers-- whose to criticise you? not me. my hands are getting more spastic by the month adn it takes me longer to correct all the crazy errors than to write the articles... so I finally gave up.
thanks for the compliment--
just look above to see what I mean. I can't send the signals to the hands properly any longer and the letters frequently get reversed

a very unreliable camera--
go to betterphot.com
and browse through galleries that you like. On the top is a tab: Contest on far right top menu, pull it down and you see "recent entries. Click it and it will open to the nweest submissions in all catagories. At the top across the screen you will see the different catagories listed. If you have FF, you can right-click and open the catagories you want to study in different tabs or windows. With every entry, you will find the photographer's camera listed--and all those cameras have reviews attached to them. If you're looking for a camera for micros, hit the micro contest and then just start browsing the images. you can read camera reviews and contact the photographers, if you wish.
is a nice site and good place to list your images.
jessie, julian three, deanna p, thorny (who's a great picture-taker, himself), and manoj-- all thank-you very much
gather crashed very badly and has been putting up rather boring operating code instead of articles-- and so the site was accessible, but read only of Apache error codes.
thanks to the techies who someohow managed to reload this page and hopefully Liz Soares will no longer be suffering either.
Mary, it must take incredible patience and much leg work to get shots like these. As always, stunningly beautiful!
I also encountered the Gather stuff up - images and emails loaded but articles were just masses of that dreadful code. So I switched off the computer for some hours.
Mary, I marvel at the patience you must possess. I tried to get a simple shot of a bird the other day and ran myself ragged trying to get that little beast. Every shot was a blur!! These are terrific!
"I tried to get a simple shot of a bird the other day and ran myself ragged trying to get that little beast. Every shot was a blur!! "
I just don't let you see the blurs!!! I have them too-- and from birds, so I gave up on them. You have to set the shutter speed very high like 1/700 and above and in addition to that have incredible stealth tactics or hang from yur toes in trees.
I should put up some blurrss some time-- train-blurrs are great-- big biG BLURRS
thank you Ed for compliment, but you have to be careful about the Humbugglers because they catch you off guard... I don't know why, but you always have to name your entries in these sort of thigns, you can't just list 2006-10-08 srbsko 5492 or wahtever-- so I couldn't think of much but the ever-ready trite cliche. and that there is tautology
Hi Mary Just checking in from Guatemala. I haven't been able to capture any butterflies here, but there sure are some beuatiful species here. But the simply fly by, they don't seem to stop. maybe they are camera shy. I love your picture and I'm so happy for you, being selected for picture of the day. Keep them coming, you're the best! Hugs Mona
yup, flutterbies are camera shy-- you must be very still adn wait or run about like speedy gonzales-- thanks a lot for all your good wishes. I keep adding ne photo sites to the lsit and so did 20 submissions today.
oh tom, love the chicken head of yours--thanks for the flattery, but can I pull your feathers to make some pillows? could use a new feather duvet for teh winter, too!
thanks again--struggling with internet crashes and czech servers. the combination isn't so great, plus add the big bad bill with his 24 patches to the mess adn you have calamity over here.
thanks-- cook that turkey for me, will ya? the roadkill kind.

and gather doesnn't help, either with its jumpy text boxes
