I had one of those. Had to give Wiley away- he was always howling late at night and eating all the neighbor's cats. Found a good home for him, though. Little old lady who is deaf and has too many cats, if you know what I mean.

and...hate to bring this up...but i've heard that the sun doesn't actually "set".
to be honest, i've heard it told that it doesn't move hardly at all.

supposedly, we're the one spinning around the sun, but i read that on the interweb, so....it probably ain't true.

almost forgot: if the sun ever really does "set" or "goes down", don't plant veggie seeds. might not be a good time for it.
wait it out instead.

you can paint more.

I was flicking channels the other day and somehow stumbled onto Craig's closed circuit security camera... Here are a few shots of how CK creates those images that he claims to have hiked out and taken.

Morning run in the car today, next weekend it'll be the Megamoto's turn :-)
If anyone else fancies a long day in the saddle, going to have lunch at the San Simeon General Store just below Hearst Castle, leaving LA around 6.30am.

You're runnin' in fast company there, Mac. The Z8 has been my dream car since they came out. Just a matter of juice I don't have. Is there a site you guys talk about driving these things? I'd like to lurk that one.

Yeah, it's at BMW Z8 , but the chat area of the forum is kept to just owners with VIN's because a few members heard stories of websites being used by both police and thieves to find potential targets. Most of our great drives are well covered in the Gallery section, something as a photographer that I'm especially proud of. You can use the scrool menu to see any of our drives. BMW Z8

My favorite recent one was the Oregon Tour, there's around 80 shots of what became known as the Volcano Tour starting here, use the >> to go to the next six images.

Simply wonderful! What exposure do you use at what ISO for the Milky Way shots, and how do you trak the camera so smoothly?
