Be careful guys I think young Gabriel has the winning idea and is just toying with us. I'm willing to bet that he has his entry completed and is just waiting to upload it.....it's in there Gabriel, in that grey matter.

Relax my friend lay back and let that youthful imagination of yours roam.....your trying too hard just let it flow.

" I spend half my money on Video Gear....the rest I waste"

Stay with it Gabriel you can do it, we're all counting on ya.

Ha, thanks guys. I think I am going to have to go macro. Maybe tomorrow. I am I little busy today.. :(

I will get something in though! Even if I have to take the bus!

When is the deadline again?

If only this challenge was in the last week of June when I'll be in the Olympic National Forest....

Haha. Maybe that is how I got the idea! lol.

My UV filter made by B+W that I ordered from b&h friday arrived this morning. Great condition, the only thing was that the lens has spots on it. Just some dust spots, but still annoying. Then I realized that I don't have a lens cleaner! lol! So I guess that I need to order one of those now, or just head down to Ritz camera store...

Maybe today I'll get something.

After running around all over the northeast Tennessee mountains for the past week, I had just about given up on one of my target species to include in my film. As luck would have it, a friend who was out birding in the mountains yesterday happened upon a small group in the Cherokee National Forest near Bristol, Tennessee. I was up driving to the site at the crack of dawn this morning and by 10:00 am I had my clips. Here is a still taken from the memory card of the Canon Optura 200mc of a Yellow Lady's Slipper Orchid.

Wow, that is awesome Rick! Good to hear it!

I can't wait to see it in action! Sounds like today will be the day for me too.

Best of luck everyone!

My footage didn't come out as well as I thought once I got it captured. But the subject is still pretty good. And by the time I shrink it down to the challenge frame size, it may be OK.

I went for the "cute" factor. Meet Mom and Baby White-Cheeked Gibbon.

Gabriel Yeager · May 11th, 2007, 12:25 PM

Ha, perfect time for mothers-day! Was that your plan all along!?

I would say you got the "Cute factor" as you put it. :D

Rick: your orchid was stunning.
Steven: now I understand why you need a mother in the judge :)
How is everybody doing for uwol#3 ?

I'm almost done with my uwol#3 and this time I'm going "puffin".

Rick A. Phillips · May 12th, 2007, 12:40 PM

I can't wait to see your puffins. Can you send a few over here - we've only seen five this year.

Gabriel Yeager · May 12th, 2007, 05:49 PM

I have never seen one of those ("puffin?") before... I can't wait to see it in action. :-)

I still have yet to have any luck with getting something on video....

Mat Thompson · May 13th, 2007, 04:37 AM
