If you have ever walked the Anhinga Trail in Everglades National Park (an incredible bird-watching site in mid-winter) you would regard all that action as perfectly normal photography. |

05 Jun 11 - 07:48 PM (#3165670) Subject: RE: BS: Battle at F-Stop Ridge From: JohnInKansas I think this one is good enough to be refreshed, at least so that some more people may have a chance to discuss the historical significance. I note that, according to the recent pundits, all of the weapons used are "classically obsolete" and remembered only by a few old-timers. There's even an instance of "tossing fresh ammo" to a combatant whose weapon ran out. (Modern weapons don't even need to have new batteries very often.) Unfortunately I can't quite posit a specific time frame for this battle. We should also have some discussion about whether any of the participants knew what they thought they were fighting for ... and quite obviously the "generals" must be brought to trial as soon as the casualties are counted.

05 Jun 11 - 09:11 PM (#3165716) Subject: RE: BS: Battle at F-Stop Ridge From: Micca It reminded me of a book I read years ago that had one of the most memorable chapter titles ever, Q " What did you give that starving old woman on the park bench?" A "100th of a sec at f11" |

06 Jun 11 - 10:10 AM (#3165942) Subject: RE: BS: Battle at F-Stop Ridge From: GUEST,number 6 John .... I don't think these certain well known women would be hiking it about in the boondocks such as F-Stop Ridge ... but then again, maybe a certain well known couple chose F-Stop Ridge for a secret out of the way private place to have a ... hmmmm ... little tête-à-tête .... and the paparazzi got wind of it before hand. the frenzied shooting just got out of hand. biLL |

06 Jun 11 - 02:53 PM (#3166099) Subject: RE: BS: Battle at F-Stop Ridge From: JohnInKansas kat - You know darned well that Photoshop can do lots of stuff besides just cropping them. Fuzz, filter, add, subtract, stretch, shrink and all the things that keep the beautiful people beautiful - - so I've heard. "Shave and a haircut - 6 clicks." John |
