If I stil had the amber I would love to try a shot now...

Thanks guys...yeah, maybe I should have clicked the nudity tag. ;'P That is some lovely amber Tom...I can't help but wonder how some macros of it might look, esp. lit from behind.

Oh and i can play this game as well....this is me....

also in "infrared". :tt2: If you´re wondering why i´m acting this way...it´s only to let you know you seem to have forgotten to include the actual photo there Kort.

Great looking shots Kai. Love the one of the wine...and the dewy flower. Really beautiful. And that building aint uglier than anything you´ll find in my town let me tell you. :mellow:

me cut? Oh you mean that mark on my arm in the pic up there? if so it's actually just a bit of dirt on the reflective surface I took the photo of :unsure:

:sneaky: You sure about that daddy? :tt2: cause I've seen some pretty awesome architecture in photos from that part of the world... but yeah I guess it's the amazing photography of it that makes the real difference :rolleyes:

Oops, sorry, looks like we cross-posted. What are you ramblin on about Andreas?!? ;'P Glad to hear it wasn't a cut Kai, and I dig the dewy flower too! :)

My God! Will ya look at all those smilies!!! :blink: You´re making me proud son. :biggrin:

:tt1: Kort in purple :wub: LOL not really :tt2: I gotta walk past a girls school every day I go in to study now there's some :tt1: for me :woot:

Some great pix there Kai...I especially love the wet white flower. And LOL at the bad architecture. There's nothing too exciting here either, I assure you. :bored:

Oh and ...nice to 'see' you all....:tt1:

:tongue2:

"Oompa, loompa, boopatee dee,...." Luv that sky Kai!

That's quite a pic, Kai. How did you take that without getting soaked?

Okay Kai...speaking of Oompa Loompas... Ewwwww....here's one of me...:m_pig:

Cool IR shot there! I so wanna try it one day, but i think the next major thing for me will be getting myself is photomatix cause I get a 70% discount cause I'm a student :tt2:

Oh ahhh yeah I was standing on a bridge :P one of them where it's got WARNING 2 people at a time :unsure: Oh and wont ya look at that photo :m_blush: :woot:

LOL...yeah right...

And something to cleanse your visual palate of that yucky pic...lol.

:blink::ohmy::thumbupboth::b_blush: ok my sentence of smilies is sufficient I think only lacks the worship one :m_tear:

Not gross at all SIR that's awesome! :thumbupboth: but yeah I am kinda strange :rolleyes:

Obviously not...or I wouldn't have posted that other pic...

Cool one, Dovid...

And lol again at Kai...

Oh I just noticed we only 2 posts away from breaking the  #700 mark so I gotta try do it :tt2:

Ya, that spider eating a fly is -Cute-Adorable- and tack sharp. Better than what I posted, and less gruesome. :glare:

Ewwwwwwwwww he's eating a fly? I didn't even notice that. All I saw was the way he looks like he has long eyelashes...

Well, to me he did...:unsure:

Oh and that flower is a real beauty...son...

Just stopping by for a quickie in between work...because i do belive a slap is in order. Why the hell wouldn´t you post that first bug-shot in the gallery Kai? Huh Huh????? :blink:

Obviously we all have different opinion about what the phrase "godawful" means. I love that trio Marlene. Especially the dog-shot. So cute! #:o)

Anyway - this is a collage i did ages ago of a shot i took aages ago and never posted, although outright the original shot was gallery worthy imo.  I never got round to making the collage without using repeat images, so i guess you'll have to put up with that bird in the sky shot repeating over and over :tt2:

Loving those drop shots mrmadmikie!

ooo i like that last squirrel shot marlene... nice one!

:m_whine: Dont smack me ya know here in NZ now if ya smack a child the police can arrest ya :m_thoughtful: If ya ask me that's kinda stupid but anyway... about that shot yeah I don't know why I haven't put it in my gallery dad :m_tongue2: :m_licklips: Oh and yeah why haven't you uploaded all them awesome Lofoten shots and every other amazing shot that you've put in the thread here? :m_lecture: :m_temper: LOL and momy what an expression on that dogs face for that telling off :tongue2: so cute :laugh: AND yeah Richard I know what it's like when you misplace files... my brain does it all the time :lol:

Oh and I forgot to mention them pesky squirrels :rolleyes: Excellent shots and things I'd put in my gallery once again out with the :m_lecture: this time it's for you mom :m_scared:

:blink: Ummmm....if you say so...

Thanks guys... 

And I like that effect Rich. Cool one!

To the gallery, lady!   This is such a fun thread and full of so-so and extremely fine photos...I have to work on a better than so-so one..hummm..

oh, and as this is an "anything" thread i thought i might stick this little explanation of Hell here as a response to Andreas' signature:

Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic
(absorbs heat)?

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time.
So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. 

I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving. 

As for how many souls are entering Hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. 

Since there are more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion,
we can project that all souls go to Hell. 

With birth and death rates as they are we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. 

Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added. 

**This gives two possibilities: 
**

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose. 

2. Of course, if Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over. 

So which is it? If we accept the postulate given to me by Ms. Teresa Banyan during my freshman year, 

"...that it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you." 

And take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having sexual relations with her,
then, #2 cannot be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and will not freeze.
