Here is some older pics but I really like them. The first one was shown on Daily Planet on the discovery channel. The last one is a fluorescent shot taken with blue flash and yellow filter on camera.

I know I don't stand a snow balls chance in he....double hockey stick's again for POTM but what happened to the vote????

[o.c.d.]

I was wondering as well, summer holiday maybe?
Mr.Grizz I quite like your second photo, just a bit on the grainy side, have you tried lowering you ISO to around 100 to 400.
