great shot! Cats, for all their superior graces, are really very easy to amuse. :)

Day 3: Shot #2

Oh, THAT's what that is! This would have been a good puzzle-macro shot. :) Oops, sorry, I said 'shot'. Poor you.

Day 4: Happy Birthday Boardwalk!

Now THERE's a place I haven't been in about twenty years, and I only live 3 hours away.

Interesting shot; it has a frenetic feel that goes well with the midway atmosphere.

Oh dear. What a day. At least it all wound up being OK (except I hope you didn't miss a final at that first class, or anything).

Day 5 - My hero
by bimble

Comment:
It was bad enough that I never beat my military-strategist husband at chess, but when my son started beating me when he was around nine, I gave up and let the two of them duke it out. I'm just not a schemer. And it takes a schemer to be good at chess. (fitting that Wil E Coyote should "play" it, I guess.)

Is he-- he is on roller skates, isn't he? Good detail. Maybe a little soft on the contrast for my taste, but then I'm a contrast fiend.

Great capture! Awesome, with the screen grid behind it!

When It All Explodes

aw, karmat. I don't know you, but I wish I could hug you. I hate crap like that when it happens in families because you can't just walk away from it and live and let live like you can with other people -- these are people you have to deal with (or deal with the consequences of NOT dealing with) for the rest of your life. Or theirs. Here's hoping things settle out soon.

Love the way you used photography and processing to express your thoughts about the day, though. How fitting. (most of my fireworks shots were OOF as well.)

Moving On

oh, no kidding. They stock those in the church nursery where I volunteer, to give to the kids as snacks. Nice. (eew.)

Good photo of them, though! :)

I don't see any banding. I can see all the squares on the little monitor-test strip thingie, but I think my monitor looks drastically different from most people's. But if it's any comfort to you -- I don't see the banding.

I love the perspective in this shot, and you're right, the clouds are gorgeous.

Day 5 - South Fork Trail
by runeric

Comment:
looks like a really great place to walk/bike. Really pretty shot -- I like the lines and the subdued colors -- although it feels a wee bit tilted to me (maybe due to that 'handheld with rail for support' bit).
