Mini Competition #94

[ScoutR]

Here's how it works ...

- You good folks post images in the thread (please change your post title to a name for your picture)

- When we get 10 images we will attach a voting poll

- After 3 days the poll closes and the winner is declared!

- If you would especially like some critique after the competition poll closes, please make it known in the post

Too easy eh?

Limit of 1 image per post, and 2 image posts per person.

If there are already 10 in the current comp, please start a new thread in this forums

[ScoutR]

C&C welcome after comp ends
Thanks
Wendy

Common Grackles are blackbirds that look like they've been slightly stretched. They're taller and longer tailed than a typical blackbird, with a longer, more tapered bill and glossy-iridescent bodies. Grackles walk around lawns and fields on their long legs or gather in noisy groups high in trees, typically evergreens. They eat many crops (notably corn) and nearly anything else as well, including garbage. In flight their long tails trail behind them, sometimes folded down the middle into a shallow V shape.

I think that Tokina 11-16 is super-glued to your camera! It is a nice lens though, isn't it? I'm using mine a lot more recently. It has a really nice feel to it, doesn't it? Good shot.

Thanks. I'm constantly blown away by just how sharp it is. Really, really impressed.

It's certainly spending a lot of time on there just now as the 17-85 kit is out of commission (see previous post about focus ring jamming at 17mm). On the basis that purchasing the 24-70 Canon L would have resulted in violence (towards me) and the fact that the repair by A J Johnstone of Glasgow is going to cost £90 (which is about £900 less than the cost of the 'L'), the kit lens is there at the moment. Should get it back next week.

A pic I took of my colleagues just after break at school. This pic was taken a day or two after I bought my camera...

Hi Remco,

When I first looked at it I thought it was Ninjas in black practicing fighting moves ... must be my over-active imagination!

Hmm... Seems I've got to work on my accent again...

How do you vote?? I don't see a vote button or anything else related (poll list, etc.) Confused...

[Donald]

There are actually 11 in here. #95 is here.

See the first post at the top for info. A poll will appear at the very top of the thread once one of the Admins/Mods gets a chance to put it there. Keep checking back.

Hi Mikimoto,

I've added the voting poll now for you - sorry - as Donald mentioned, it's not an automated process (unfortunately) - so it only happens when Dave or I happen to spot that one needs doing. Good luck
