i was told early on not to look thru the viewfinder when using a dslr as the sun can really do damage to your eyes .. now i use mirrorless a lot of the time and i've heard that the sun cant damage your eyes when looking thru the viewfinder using mirrorless .. i do believe the former .. but the latter i'm not totally sure of ..
even with that knowledge i did look thru the viewfinder pointing at the sun when using my dslr .. there are some shots you just have to get .. ;)
i'm not blind .. but i may be lucky ..
i rather like this shot .. and its perfect for the challenge .. its actually hurting my eyes looking at it .. :)

Hey! Get Out Of The Way. You're Holding Up Traffic!

was my first/second fav in the challenge .. Lydia's tucker was pretty cool ..
but the tortoises were too .. i had a hard time choosing which one i liked the most tbh ..

and i loved that you were able to get this awesome shot in the timeframe of the challenge ..
what were the chances .. ?? .. pretty slim i would have thought ..
altho the tortoises might like observing ppl playing golf from their vantage point at the pond ..

just imagined you spying them .. and thinking of this challenge .. altho lugging that huge lens around and playing golf .. a lot of weight right there ..
however .. i noticed in your nightmares challenge that you have very well developed shoulders .. so maybe carrying that lens .. just in case you see something awesome to photograph while golfing .. wouldnt be too much of a hardship ..

of course my 'back' story is probably so far from the reality .. it would be laughable .. hope it was .. a good laugh is never a bad thing . :)

oh ... ps .. CONGRATULATIONS on the ribbon .. nearly forgot to say .. ;)

Thank You

MANY CONGRATS on the ribbon ..
totally deserving .. altho in my mind your main competition was the tortoises .. !! ..
not other ppl's i see .. :)

anyway .. a couple of questions ..
how old is tucker .. what methods have you used to train him to do what you want him to ..
etc etc .. very interested to hear ..
and i dont really want to hear that he has just done what you want without any special input from you ..;)
i want to learn from you and apply it to me and tod .. as mr tod needs special input from me ..
he's great sometimes .. but it can be very hit and miss .. he certainly has a mind of his own .. which is good ..
sometimes .. ;)
