This guy (a buddy of mine) offered to go get it. I almost let him.  "Bear" as he is called by his "Brotherhood" has no problem confronting people, and usually gets his way.  Edit: I've known him since High School, before he started riding with any clubs.

There was a "host" in the Bay Area who received Nifty, held it for months, and didn't shoot. He also claimed he was too busy to send it on. It took four trips to his house to convince him to release the lens to me. It was about 50 miles round trip each time. Three trips by me, and a fourth by a coworker who lived closer than I did. This guy (a buddy of mine) offered to go get it. I almost let him. "Bear" as he is called by his "Brotherhood" has no problem confronting people, and usually gets his way. Edit: I've known him since High School, before he started riding with any clubs. Wow. Great story, Killjoy. Thanks for telling it! Wild Birds of Europe

redjamesg Senior Member More info | May 22, 2013 13:24 | #6937 As you can see, spring is on it's way here, and eventho this is taken two weeks ago, it represents when everything is beeing provoked by the sun to show itself.  spring by redjamesg, on FlickrOn my way, I came across a Grass Snake, that was lying in the grass, soaking up all the suns beams.  grass-snake by redjamesg, on FlickrWhile speaking of wild life, Nifty was also intrigued by the sight of a Toad on the welcome mat  Toad by redjamesg, on FlickrDue to the nice weather, I decided to head out on the open road, and see where it would take me  road by redjamesg, on FlickrTurns out it brought me to our summer house, which is a nice thatched house that was orriginaly build in 1962.  summer_house by redjamesg, on FlickrThere's actualy a tragic story to it, it was build by the founder of well known Juwelery shop here in Denmark (Siersbøl ) two years after the house was finished, the owner and three of his close bussiness partners decided to go fishing off the coast, in a tragic event the boat turned over and they all drowned, leaving four widows with 10 children combined.While beeing there, I went for a walk on the beach and saw that eventho the wind was a cosy 62F, the water is still a chilling 45F yet still people felt it was time to hit the beach ... altho I only saw two that was actualy in the water.

redjamesg Senior Member More info | May 22, 2013 23:48 | #6940 Yeah, the minimum focusing distance of nifty is 0.3m, and I think I was pushing that limit on the first one, combined with it beeing a branch that was totaly isolated gave a nice bokeh of everything in the background. Don't worry Ma'am, We're university students, We know what We're doing.

redjamesg Senior Member More info | May 23, 2013 13:23 | #6942 This time I went on a metro ride to one of the parts here in Copenhagen that is known for it's experimental architecture.  Mountain House by redjamesg, on FlickrAnother well known architecture in that part of the city, is Bella Sky it is a conference hotel, and has been very disputable, as one of it's top floors is restricted to women only. Bella_Sky by redjamesg, on FlickrOne of the dorms that are located in the area (Grønjordskollegiet ), is known for the suicide rate among its inhibitants, mostly this is due to the design of the windows in the dorm rooms, they are a foot from floor level and reaches the ceiling which makes it very easy to step right out into the open air and see if it is possible to miss hitting the ground. Suicide Dorm by redjamesg, on FlickrOne of the most maligned designs in the area, is the main ressidence of the Danish tv network , over it's 8 years of building, the budget ended with a massive $300 million extra cost from it's orriginal price of $500 million. Sorry for the crappy photo, theres was a lot of reflection from the metro window.  Danish television headquaters by redjamesg, on FlickrIn the end, the ride ended in Nyhavn , I know I've shown this photo on my last hosting of nifty, but this time there were marginaly more people. Nyhavn by redjamesg, on FlickrNow you might be wondering why I didn't step off the metro and went to teh different sightings for a more ideal spot to shoot from, it was due to having my nephew and niece staying for the weekend, ever since they lost their mother 3 month ago it has been hard on them, and they needed some happiness in their day. These were the two speciel individuals this trip was ment for, not for the sake of nifty.  Kits by redjamesg, on FlickrDon't worry Ma'am, We're university students, We know what We're doing.

For those children to loose their mother at such a young age when they need a mother so much, is terrible. You are sweet to take them out like this. And of course Nifty takes second, third and 100th place after that!! Wild Birds of Europe

The images are all still on flickr but I made them private. However, they should still show here (and in fact some do). I have made a few public again to see if that would make them visible again, but nope, they won't show either. Maybe it's one of the many bugs of the new flickr or maybe I'm being punished for speaking out in the forum, I do not know. Wild Birds of Europe
