    ^^Not a good sight..^^

    ..pretty nasty stuff this past weekend in SoCal. :(
    Anyway, I was driving from my home, on Saturday morning, and passed by one of the freeways. And as i was looking back on my rear view mirror, i saw a medium-sized plume of smoke coming out of one of the hills. Unbeknownst to me, the fire had already started early in the morning (the one in Yorba Linda, which is a pretty nice suburb area), as i tried to find out what's going on. Then as i drove back home at night, about some 20 miles away, i could see the entire sky filled with smoke and just over one of the hills, a reddish glow lighted up the sky..:p

    the bees and flies were buzzing outside my house today but what's that in the last pic? it's got the legs of a fly, body stripes and colours of a bee, and the eyes of a drug addict :eek:

    Thanks, but not mine. Camera is Nikon D300 and belongs to my cousin. Preparing to get the more affordable D90 which should suit my needs.

    ^^If those pics..^^

    ..are from the current phenomenon of Venus and Jupiter shining, then yes, i saw it earlier today. However, it was upside down, as the 2 planets were either below or on the side of the moon.

    Taken from one of my assignment today. I've gotta say the Canon EF 400mm F/2.8 II is damn sharp!

    Wow, amazing photos. Makes me wish I had a DSLR.. but I don't really have the expertise or the time to justify the expense. My camera isn't bad anyway, just a bit low res- Olympus C760. 10x Optical Zoom :D

    Compared to the 'boat', the water drops are unnaturally large :p
    If it were in a movie, that would be dead giveaway for miniature work.
    (The antenna is, of course, another -obvious- thing.)

    The RC boat looks good though.
    What's better is the quality of the pictures.

    Awesome!
