Take a picture at specified intervals and then combine them into a sequence. It can be fairly easy or extremely difficult depending on how you want to do it.

You guys want a heroic fish?

How about Don Knotts as The Incredible Mr. Limpet?

That's been my relationship with fish since I was 2 years old and fishing for mud cats off the dock.

It was a fun movie, and Don Knotts was a good actor and comedian.

yeah, one of my favorite...he and Tim Conway together were so funny. Some of my best moments of childhood were spent at their movies.

well I'm going to try this "go to bed" thing again. I won't say g'night in case it doesn't take.

Waking up this morning, I've found one of the chicks-adee laying dead in front of my window. I know it is common that the weakest of the babies dies, but still, it's not a very nice find...



On a happier note, it is the weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope the weather stays mostly sunny and we don't have T-storms...

Oh, and GWE!!!!

Nice thought. We're gonna be really, really close to this: http://www.tillamookch​eese.com/ Wisconsin cheese doesn't hold a candle to it. Just saying.

Don't get me into the whole WI vs everywhere else debate.

I'll skip it then. Too bad. I live about a block away from a goat cheese factory owned by a guy from france and I work in a town with a creamery.

Regions seem to specialize in certain cheese varieties. Following is what has pleased my taste buds, New York White Cheddar can't be beat and WI Baby Swiss surpasses all. I know I have had Tillamook varieties as well but can't remember the variety I like most. Will need to jump start my remembry in June.

I have a question!!!!!

My daughters graduation is coming up. It's going to be at night, in the school gym. Bright gym lights. Will my 100-400 work okay for that? or is there a better lens in my list? I won't be able to get all that close to the stage, which is why I was thinking the 100-400.

You got a lot of good advise on this Paula. I would add shoot Raw the White Balance in gyms are killers with Raw you can adjust much better than jpg. And expect noise if you don't have a dedicated noise reduction software, remember resizing helps noise and most PP software has some noise reduction, though not as good as a dedicated software.

If you get a shot or two you want the noise reduced more than you have the software for, let me know, I'll run them through Noise Ninja for you.

I think he's just lonely. He loves people, he loves dogs and we're old...no children, nothing on a constant basis to tire him out. I really think a constant playmate will help him.

That would make us ancient then.

Puppies and kids are natural magnets, Baxter gets excited every time he sees young ones too. I did get a wood floor friendly toy this week for Bax that helps to burn up energy on days we just can't get him out. One of those twisted rope things with big knots on both ends and some frayed ends. Just watch your shins, when he gets to shaking the thing those knots will leave a bruise when they make contact. It is a toy we play with for awhile then put up out of reach. Otherwise he will shred it in quick order.

I give to him in the kitchen so when he shakes there is quite a bit of open space for him and nothing at that level to hit and break. Then I toss it into the dining room and living room. Since I stay in the kitchen he brings it back and shakes it some more.

SID nice dew pearls strung on a web.
