These are beautiful t.
I have promised myself a digital camera for my birthday!! ;D
When i was little my dad used to love taking photos and so did I then. We used to develop and print them ourselves - in black and white then, not colour. But I haven't done much photography since.
A friend of mine was telling me that i should find some to do that interests me and is "non-esoteric".. she has taken up silver-smithing. I couldn't really think of anything to 'do', but the thought of getting a cam and taking pics has a lovely exciting feel to it.
Its my birthday in about 7 weeks.. so will start looking at different cams. ;D

I bought mine just about few months ago. I have discovered often after taking the photo when i look at it at home that there are faces, eyes, figures and such.
I'm looking forward to your photos :)

I got my new camera as a birthday present too last autumn. In the form of a gift voucher so I could choose myself. The one I got can almost do everything what a system camera can do including long exposures. It is a Sony with Zeiss optics and it is a lot to learn but one can use it as a tourist too.
What you probably need Daphne if you get a Digital camera is Optic Zoom (about 3 times), 5 Mega pixels is enough for most of us but please check how fast the camera snaps the shot. Cheaper cameras have a tendency to get "locked" in the shooting moment and that is quite embarrasing.

it really bothers me when I see a perfect pic that I can't get close enuff to capture it.
grrr

Yes the close focus is essential. I was very curious the first days so I took a lot of pictures on flowers. This was among in the first serie:

Thanks Jahn! I will keep all that info in mind when I get my digital cam!
The idea is becomming more and more exciting!
This morning I was out in the garden at work and zoomed down into the layers of mulch on the ground and around and then zoomed out again into the skies. It was quite awesome! I examined it all as if I was a camera taking pics. Its amazong what is around us. I was looking at one tree in particular, and there was so much to see on its bark.
I like flowers!
-
I take pics of bark sometimes.
It's cool what you can see in the bark of a tree if you take the time to look eh?
Sometimes pictures or faces or numbers and words.
Amazing world we live in isn't it?
:-*
-
I bought mine a few years ago - 3x optic zoom and 5 meg px, but talking to someone recently, for similar price today, you can get up to 10x optic zoom - that is essential for people pics. while travelling i found 3x optic zoom was not enough.

This must be the right topic for these Pics.
Every breath you take...Every move you make...

Every claim you stake...Every step you take...
I'll be watching you...

-

-
The snake,kookaburra and flower were around the house...
the tiger I worked with for 12 months,so I got plenty of good
photo ops...she's a 5 year old female Bengal....called Dutchess
A real cool cat!.....
-
I'm jelaous about the snake ::)
-
Wow, tiger! :D
How did you work with her?
-
Quite sad really....She is a lovely animal...She was part of a magicians act...
I worked with as a techie....lights n stuff....She became quiet trusting of me
pats every night...played like a big kitten....but she could change instantly...
I was sad to see her go.....but glad to have met her...
-
What an amazing experience you got!
-
That's a beautiful face tio - why don't you tell them about the white tigers, or is that hush hush?

Man, I am pea-green with envy!!
Tio, did (do) you do the chwoofing thing? (I know I misspelled that.)
Choof shwoof shwuff... that noise they make.
I was trying to imitate that once, while watching an educational program on tigers, and found that the cats of the house really respond to it.
-
I did...and if you look them straight in the eye and imitate their
sequence and duration of blinking they get really interested and it
helps you to become familiar...but if you just stare they become aggressive
I learned a few other ways of interacting...but their unpredictable so you
always have to be on your gaurd...spending a year around tigers was interesting
to say the least.....I'll talk about the white tigers another time. Chwoof!!!Shwoof!!! Shwuff!!!

Yes, it's a challenge to them, I bet!
It's like that with housecats too. If you are in eye-to-eye with them, best to close the eyelids a lot .. you can see them closing theirs in kind .. Before you know it, the kitty will be sleeping!
But that frontal stare -- that's alarming to them.

Oh good, Tio! I'm so glad you don't mind sharing about them -- I'm dying to hear! (Nichi is a tiger, you know... but that's another story.)
Shwoof! :)

So are we talking Chinese Signs or totem animals ? or things
like the unknown... unknowns
-
Totem! But the unknown too...
I'll put up a post about nichi soon...

looking directly into an animals eyes is generally a no-no. it is a hierarchy thing, a challenge. if they feel subordinate, they will lower their eyes, if not, then you are in for trouble. if they feel sudordinate and you persist, they get very uncomfortable.
i overrode this with my dog shah, and he of course came to expect unusual things from me. i used to use the eye-to-eye awakening/entrancing technique with him. he responded very well once he realised it wasn't the usual animal thing going on.

Please share? I love techniques that involve the eyes. I used to try and stare the ravens dead in the eyes and would get this feeling like the raven has it's world half in another more spirit like world. It always made me think of death.
But the most awesome experience was with a parrot like bird. Don't know what kind of parrot cept I think it was pinkish but my memory of the bird itself is thin. All I know is I looked into it's eye and I saw a luminous pink triangle spinning toward my eye and when it hit my consciousness it felt pleasant and welcoming and something else indescribable....
It was truly way different from anything I can consciously recall experiencing. Real magic.
This is one of those experiences where you wish you had had money at the time! Glad my finances are getting better I'm going to go from pet store to pet store for Christmas!
Hope this wasn’t one of those rare gifts of spirit that is like once in a life time.

the technique has two parts,
first is the crossing of the eyes, so that both the other person/animal/bird's eyes either come closer together or move apart - both methods are effective, but i prefer the moving apart - then they superimpose. here you do a little eye trick to turn them into one sharp eye, bit like walking out of a mist. the easiest way is to practice with a mirror.
the second involves drawing the awareness out of the other - bringing it from dream into up front, daylight. don't know how to explain that one, just practice i suppose

I missed this entire thread of beauties! What a nice discovery this morning, thanks for bumping it up E.
That bird has eyes of fire.

How come domestic cats have slit pupils and big cats have round ones?

How come domestic cats have slit pupils and big cats have round ones?
ummmm.............I have no idea ???
-
Is it the area lighting around them..
-
How come domestic cats have slit pupils and big cats have round ones?
It depends on the amount of light they're taking in. The more light, the thinner the slit. The less light, or even, the greater their focus, the rounder their pupils.
