Here are a couple shots of my S60R using a Canon T2i with the 18-55mm kit lens.
These were taken free hand with a uv filter on the lens.





One of these days I'll fork up the cash for real 50 mil.

your Volvo's are very different to ours


to be fair recent years we've got some quite pleasant offerings from Volvo, not my photo

Heres my input.

That hot rod is beautiful, what was built from do you know? Im guessing some form of ford?

I like the thought that the bullet hole in the headlamp could be authentic :p

A rat rod is a style of hot rod or custom car that, in most cases, imitates (or exaggerates) the early hot rods of the 1940s, 1950s, and early-1960s. The style is not to be confused with the somewhat closely related "traditional" hot rod, which is an accurate re-creation or period-correct restoration of a hot rod from the same era.
Most rat rods appear "unfinished", regardless of their status, as only the vehicle's bare essentials are driven.

haha thanks very much, i know what a hot/rat rod is though :p however i do interchange the terms so clarification is good ta :p Personally prefer pickups that undergo the treatment


Its a real shame that there isn't a much of a following for this over here though :(

Again photo isn't mine

That's something I've never tried to take a picture of. Now you have piqued my interest in attempting such, hehe

Also, while taking this garden hose off its holder, I found this guy hanging out:

speaking of insects...

Thanks, the narrow focus was intentional :toast:

I like experimenting when taking pictures of random stuff, seeing how far I can push it to get something interesting.

Love those snowy shots, Would love to travel somewhere to try taking some snow pics, but I'm stuck here in southern California, lol.

I'd gladly trade the snow for more sunshine if you're up for a trade.

Anyone want to trade shot's of rain, dark, over-cast and cloudy skies for sunshine?

Here's some shots from over this last weekend:

This was made by my neighbor for my niece, I couldn't help but take a picture


One of the largest Black Widows I've seen in recent years, rescued from a watery grave


Another tiny Praying Mantis, this one discovered while at my parents house, helping them paint their deck cover




A mother duck with her 9 baby duckies in a cusotmer's pool





All taken with my phone (HTC Incredible 2), since I was unfortunate enough to not have my camera on hand at the time.
