After a lot of help from the crew here, I got a shot of my sharks and one little zebra (if you look close) I think is kinda kool. It is very hard to shoot threw glass and use a fill flash to stop the movement and still get a warm fuzzy foto.

Here's one, not quite as close as I would have liked, but everytime I got real close it would go somewhere else. LOL

Off to a good start!

lan-lord, just to clarify... Do you mean only 1 photo, or one reply with multiple photos?(say 3 photos max)

well, originally I was thinking one photo per person in order to keep voting more uniform... but we could do 3 max .. its really not up to me, whatever the masses here would prefer. Any objections to mulitple photos?

my thinking was that if someone really dominates a topic with 3 good photos, they can rack up votes spanning all 3 photos... so then the question is, are we voting for a photo, or the photographer.

I like the 3 max idea. we get to see more photos, which is what makes this fun.

I collect minnie diecast cars, and love to take pictures of them. This is Keith Black's digger from back in the Tommy Ivo days.

This is a pic of a fly that I tied for my fly fishing club that I teach at our middle school. It was my first try at photographing flies. The fly is about 3/4 of an inch long (a size 12).

I took this last spring at our little local cemetary. The cemetary is covered with wild (or should I say ferral) tulips. This tulip has a very timy spider on one if the stamens.
