If someone wants to finance me, I'd be willing to spend the rest of my life finding out.

ETA: Ƒantastic image, btw.

I am a little curious about that apparent hole in his head...

xoxoxoBruce · 05-24-2014, 04:06 PM

Yes, that's what made me wonder if it's a billboard for a ski resort or some tourist attraction? Along with the blasé random shot shit.

This is a subtle reminder of people suck. A small sign saying keep off the camel should be sufficient... just for people who weren't sure. But they had to add a second notice for parents who think restrictions shouldn't apply to their sweet spawn.

"Sure it says keep off but they surely couldn't object to me taking a picture of my sweetums on the camel, it would look so cute on facebook, and I'd tweet it for my worshipers, uh, followers, and email it to grandma, and post one on the fridge, and..."

I guess it's one of those cases where one wouldn't cause any harm, but, ten thousand and you gotta start taking the camel down to Earl Scheib's.

They would make more money if they built a durable camel that visitors could pose on. It's their right to have a "welcome, keep off" sign, but it kinda sends mixed signals for a tourist trap to do that.

I get a kick out of "this means you!" signs

She doesn't look impressed, maybe wishing she had a sandwich.

Gravdigr · 06-08-2014, 02:30 PM

Liar!

That is totally a quality image.

Threw 30 bucks out the window (in the gas tank, actually), and took a short ride through the country...

Saw this, across the road from a small riding mower junkyard:

That deserves to be painted. Not the house, a canvas.

A couple hours ago Momdigr sticks her head around the corner, and asks me am I feeling alright. When I asked her why, she said there's a buzzard in the back yard.

I immediately thought about my 19 yo cat, Slick. But, I also thought to grab my camera.

I get out back and there on a power pole, is a buzzard. I tripped over my cat (alive) stepping off the patio.

Then, while editing and resizing the photo of Buzz...

...I saved over the original image.

Took me an hour to get it back.

Anywho, Cellar, meet Buzz:

75-100 feet away, ~50 feet up, full telephoto, handheld, no image stabilization

ETA: Spoke too soon. Taint no buzzard. Methinks it's an American Black Vulture.

Nice vulture.

BigV · 07-16-2014, 09:45 PM

very nice picture!

xoxoxoBruce · 07-16-2014, 10:08 PM

I thought buzzard was a blanket term, covering all those evil looking, baby snatching, night stalkers.

Encyclopedia Britannica says...

Quote:

buzzard, any of several birds of prey of the genus Buteo and, in North America, various New World vultures (family Cathartidae), especially the turkey vulture (Cathartes aura). Similarly, in Australia a large hawk of the genus Hamirostra is called a black-breasted buzzard. In North America, Buteo species are called buteos, buzzard hawks, or simply hawks.

but they're probably out of touch too.

Anyway, nice picture. Considering the equipment and circumstances, a damn nice picture indeed.
