This is from the pics posted at: http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthr...roy#post875051

Sorry about the clarity on that one too, guess I was a bit shaky at the time!

Cool pics of a praying mantis I found in my back yard today. I didn't even know praying mantis' lived in Canada. They've always seemed like such an exotic bug.

My Golden Keeper earlier today . . . . . struggling against the current as I was trying to make my way down a steep cliff to the Highwood River.

After the initial panic as I tried to account for my dogs, it became apparent this is probably the greatest swimming hole in the world that probably only four or five people have ever seen. Cliff jumping into deep water and the whole deal.

About 20-25 kilometres west of Longview. Park on the highway, walk about a mile in via a fisherman's access, then rappell down a fairly steep cliff (seriously, someone left a rope) . . . . and try to get there before your dogs so they don't try to drown themselves. Someone uses this place, but infrequently. Beautiful.



Below, topside and walking home . . . . . after making sure there were no bulls in the field!!!

Okay. I took these two photos this weekend while camping with my family. Let me know what you think. Freaked me right out, but I swear to God, this is exactly what I took off my camera a few hours ago. First saw it on my camera two days ago. Weird.

What were you taking pictures of to get those images FireFly? I can't really make out anything in them at all. I must be missing something.

Well i can see a nose in the left side of the screen... as for the right side, I think it's a reflection of fire on something... but how creepy does it look? Looks like a dehydrated corpse or something.

As for what it took to get those images, much drunkenness and not much knowledge of photography. I was playing with the different modes on my camera checking out shutter speed (I don't have a tripod so really I was seing what affect that had on my pictures.) As well as playing with flash. I believe that was a non-flash, fairly short shutter speed in front of the fire... was supposed to be a portrait I think due to the nose being there.

You unlock this door with the key of imagination.

Beyond it is another dimension- a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind.

You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas.

You've just crossed over into . . . the Twilight Zone.

Just got back from a three week trip to South America. I have about a thousand photos to go through but a few early favourites:
