In the last Contest one of the changes was the door on the 'shed.' Actually, it was an outhouse. Two holer in fact.

Hi Mike, thanks. I put some door handles on the doors last night. This brings up another important point about photography. I guess I had planned door handles, but I had to finish this for the Contest. Then I forgot about them until I took this photo. So, I busted myself and finished it. Same thing in this next photo. See if any of you can spot the error. The point here is that there is a fine line between comedy and tragedy. Suppose you sent this photo in to MR for trackside photos! Not. Jim :(

1. I don't see the wabbit anywhere.
2. One of the steel guy wires over the gin pole on the turntable looks out of place.

LOL .. That's my thoughts?
 


Photo's are a great way to do tour own analysis of something. They certainly do have a way of "highlighting" and errors or issues that may have not been seen in "real life".

Great tool, but a pain in the butt as well :)

Jim,

Small flaw or not, it is still a great picture.
 
Thanks guys, yep, I've always taken photos to spot flaws. (since digital cameras came out) I must be getting old because I seldom do it any longer. Lesson here is a good photo ruined I guess. This should show the importance of always giving you photo at least a close 'eyeball' inspection before taking the picture. Jim :eek:
 
So let's try this photo again. A different angle but the cable is fixed. Problem is no loco! I call this photo, 'Hurry up and wait.' Jim :)

RR, No, I just put it there for the Contest. They haven't had time to grow I guess?:confused: Thanks for pointing that out! lol Jim :eek:
 


Jim,

That is a very nice shot and very believable, especially our way. It isn't all that strange to see derelict cars amongst the weeds.
 
Thanks Tony, did you get any snow?

By the way everyone, I go into the hospital this Friday at noon for a heart procedure. If I come through it alive I will be online Saturday. If you don't hear from me during the weekend then things didn't turn out the way I had hoped. Thank you. Jim :eek:

Jim,

Mate, sorry I didn't see that part but hope all goes well for you and that you will be back, better than ever.
 
Thanks fellows. I expect to have no issues tomorrow. I just hope this will help with a shortness of breath issue I've had for sometime. I would like to get back to senior softball, but right now that is out. Jim :(
