No, it's not OK to "steal" especially if you put steal in quotation marks.  That shows that you suspect that what you are doing is wrong.  My Mom always said if you think what you are doing is...

I think you are correct. At first glance, it looked like our Glossy Ibis but the ranges don't overlap and the glossy gets nowhere near CO.

Captured on my morning walk.

but, I used faststone and decreased hue a bit (-23) increased saturation (+4) pushed Gamma to 1.8 Red +6 Blue +39 and got somewhere around where I recall the movie.  You might want to oversharpen a...

As Kev said, it depends on what you are shooting.  It might not help with the actual shot if your shutter speed is high enough but, it sure helps keep the viewfinder still.  Even a little shake at...

To get to the apertures needed for deep DOF, adding light is almost a necessity.  Even outdoors.  There are a lot of ways to do that though.  I wrote up some choices at...

Oh, by the way.  That green thing at the rear on its right side is a new leg.

This morning, I found this little Mangrove Tree Crab while out on my walk.  They try to hide while keeping an eye on you.  You can just see the eye in the notch eaten out of the leaf by an...

Not a very good one though. I'm right under the cloud with white hair, wearing white shoes and a red shirt.

This one can't even read. Scofflaw

I'm generally  pretty careful walking in the pine flatwoods of Florida.  I was out chasing a bug one day and walking around a clump of Saw Palmetto with a bunch of other stuff growing in it. I...

That way, I don't need some imprecise, meaningless label for what I'm shooting.

Boring pictures of my favorite ruler but, it shows FOV with various combinations.  More at http://birdsnbugs.wordpress.com/2013/05/14/v1-closeups-with-the-leitz-elpro-achromat-lenses/

Damn those laws of physics.  Which political party passed them anyway.  I'll never vote for them again (in case I ever did).

Should be a firmware release out any day now. Nikon is still working on trying to do something on the D90.

The problem is that, here in the states, we have a company advertising that they can solve the problem of negative feedback in forums, etc. My solution is to think for myself.

My original thought was Mockingbird but, they have the white flashes on the wings early in life.  There are a lot of birds with mottled plumage when young.  Here is an immature Yellow Crowned Night...

Tons of them.  I used to work at a remote government facility and one of the guards would come out with a .410 shotgun and a snake stick.
