    It's funny how the second paparazzi shot just doesn't look right ...

    something's missing ;)

    Great shots Tim~

    So many distinct photographic styles...

    OK...I feel I have to defend my photographic style before anyone thinks I shoot one-handed all the time, or only have one hand. I was carrying in the other hand a camera bag, and TWO tripods! Part of the reason I was missing so many shots was that I was looking back constantly to find Mike, so I could unload his tripod back on him, throw my camera bag over my shoulder, and my tripod under my arm, and shoot two-handed like a normal DSLR user. :)

    Good candids Tim...boy, we are photo geeks, aren't we!?

    :) Zackie, I noticed on you the both eyes open method~

    I tend to do that when I am waiting for something in motion to come into the shot.

    That I definitely do! I'm so used to doing that while shooting my bird photography that it has become second nature. I couldn't spend 30 minutes staring at a heron waiting for him to plunge his head into the water for a passing fish one-eye-closed and looking through the viewfinder! Takes some getting used to though having each eye focusing on a completely different distance and scene and tracking them both at the same time.

    Tim...I can't reach my friend Mike at the moment as he is out of town. I know he was taking alot of shots for the Off Kilter stuff, and posted a few good ones to his website that would be worthy entries. In lieu of e-mailing them since I don't have the originals and he's out of town, I'm posting them here. No big deal if that doesn't make the cut for the contest...I just thought they at least deserved a look!

    Here are two of Mike's better shots:

    I'll probably talk to him Fri or Sat - so I can relay any messages to him. Sorry for the unofficial method of entry - if it's a problem, don't worry about it!

    Yes, everyone that entered was a winner and will be featured in a special gallery that will be posted, hopefully, by the end of next week or so. I will post a link when it's up.

    I have to say, though, that Katie's photos were uniquely different and had that extra "something" that made them stand out.

    Great job, Katie! Well done indeed!
