Fireworks:

My technique over the years starts with the belief the closer you are the better. I find a nearby town or suburb, and avoid the bigger city displays because of crowds and restrictions. With the smaller towns you can usually get absurdly close to ground zero, in this case close enough to hear the mortar shells spinning in the air before detonating and having to periodically clean debris out of my camera bag. The smaller shows typically use the same shells as the bigger displays, but simply less of them. Results in abstract pictures that are really cool when printed on metal, etc.

A couple of pictures from the Chinese Lantern Festival at St. Louis Botanical Gardens.


This dragon is made of small glass medicine bottles filled with colored water wired together along with silk.

This dragon is made entirely of porcelain tea cups, saucers, plates & spoons all tied together with string. There were 2 of theses dragons facing one another.

A silk dragon fountain.

Another part of the silk dragon fountain.

A temple made completely from silk.

You guys are AMAZING! I love all the talent and all of the info about the pics. So many interesting and beautiful things in this world of ours.

My wanna be pic of a double rainbow we saw a few days ago while on Holiday in Colorado Springs. Interestingly enough, we've seen a double rainbow there two years in a row!

The colors in the lower one were SO vibrant. We could see every color of the spectrum. Unfortunately we were not in a good location to see the entire rainbow . . .

I'm a caveman and no photographer. I always carry some sort of camera on me when i'm outdoors. I got lots of blurry pictures here and there on my computer, here are some of the ok ones from hunting/fishing/outdoor trips.

Some dice I made on the lathe/mill. Have a game that requires dice with 2 +, 2 - and 2 blank sides and my local game shop didn't have any, so I made some out of 3/4 aluminum.

Nice shots!
You should try a red filter to make the sky darker.

This is a diving board at a local lake, It was built in 1935 but in 1952 swimming was forbidden and the diving board no longer used. I went for a walk one morning and took this picture, I'm very pleased with the silhouette caused by sunrise and a thick mist rolling across the lake.

Please excuse the low quality of this photo. It was taken with an iPhone 4 with the magnifying glass from my Swiss Army Knife over the lens and there was a breeze threatening to blow the spider into my hands. He measures about half an inch from top to bottom.

Some mobile photos from the last fishing trip.

In the mist.

Something has eaten all the leaves from the trees over huge areas..

We soon found the little sinners, had 40-50 cheving on my green jacket when we arrived to the water.

In action.

Result after a 3 hour walk, 5 hours in the ice cold water. Fishing is not fun, it's endless pain, i dont know why i like it
