Here's one in water colors, from a book my wife edited. The original art "lives" in my dining room::

The illustration was done by a Massachusetts artist named Omar Rayyan. Note carefully the color of the longship, which was negotiated as part of the commission process.
Yes, my wife and I own the original Ruby Yacht of Omar Rayyan.

Reminds me of the old joke. If you have nuts on the wall, what do you have? Walnuts. If you have nuts on your chest, what do you have? Chestnuts. If you have nuts on your chin, what do you have? Hint, not chin nuts

Thanks, I'll try to get there earlier next time. Maybe I'll come up with something

I have quite a few visual puns in my photo archives, partly because I look for such opportunities. Here are the first two I thought of.

#1 — I go to San Diego several times each year on business. Back in April, I attended a Padres-Diamondbacks game. I took this shot between innings from my seat behind third base:


The name of the game IS the pun.

#2 — Every time we get a new grandchild, we treat our family (my wife and me, our three kids, and their families) to a Thanksgiving weekend at a six-bedroom rented cabin near Shaver Lake east of Fresno. Sometime there is snow on the ground, sometimes not. As you can see, we had snow in 2011 (grandchild #2). When there is no snow, the four guys (and whoever else wants to go) take our 4WD vehicles up to the lookout on top of Bald Mountain via the easy route out of Tamarack Flat. The route is mostly a well-graded dirt road and the steepest part is a 35% grade up the east end of the granite dome. (Only my son's Wrangler is capable of making it up the hard route, though probably only without snow.) In 2011, we decided to see how far we could get in the snow. We turned around here at the last road junction we could actually see, but first we pulled out tarps and had a picnic in the snow. While the girls were running various sliders down a gentle slope and my younger son-in-law was making snow angels, I was posing condiments. What I did not know until just a few minutes ago, when I looked up the phrase that is the pun, is that Frank Zappa has a song about this.


Don't eat the yellow snow. Good advice for life.

BTW, next year we will celebrate grandchild #6 at Shaver.

Thanks, James. French's is my favorite mustard also.

I just remembered this pic. I took it not far from California Caverns.

Field curvature is usually an undesirable property of photographic lenses, but sometimes you can put it to good use, for example curvature of field used here as leading lines to help guide the eye towards your subject, especially if the subject is small.

The next example shows clear Barrel distortion

Would be great if others have some more examples like this to help us all better understand these complicated optical issues

Headline: "Bison free to invade sign's personal space due to missing comma."



@ Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, May 27, 2008. Shot with Olympus E-1 and 500-mm Zuiko (Olympus) manual focus mirror lens (equivalent FOV to 1000-mm lens on "full-of-it-frame").

I wish I had visited Yellowstone in 1976. After all, that was the Bison-tennial.
