View Full Version : August Photo Comp
This months theme will be......
(drum roll please)
...... Animals
I was thinking at first of having it as 'pets' but thought it be best to widen the category a little so not to exclude anyone who doesn't have a pet. So any picture or your pet, a friends pet, favourite animal, trip to the zoo... Anything thing to do with the animal kingdon. Heres one to start the ball rolling. (remember only 1 picture per person)
This is 'micky' who is actually the greeks dog. Its one of the first pictures i took when i bought my new camera and its one of my favourites.

Was my dog. Had to have him put down the other day. Got old... Poor old man. Sigh... Nothing much worse than having to take them for that.
Anyways, enjoy the competition :)

I have many pics of animals i could post but rather than post my decent ones i thought i would show one of my funiest. I had shot a few pics off in sequence and upon getting home and viewing the pics on the pc i burst out laughing when i saw the face the monkey had pulled :D and it is as if he does it just for the camera

Damn you Ploppy, I have far too many animal pics to choose from!! :rolleyes::p
Well I've bitten the bullet and gone for this, a couple of beetles caught having a tender moment. And before all the comments come flooding in, I don't deliberately hunt out random couplings like some sex-crazed bugophiliac, I just thought they made a pretty picture :D

This was taken on the Isle of Mull. I was riding along the side of their field and they started running along beside me!! I stopped to get a picture and they all lined up like this. It was pretty funny

Prairie dog at Auchingarroch Animal Park (south of Comrie) about 2 weeks ago.
These cool little things were popping out of their holes everywhere, both inside and outside of the fenced off areas for the bigger animals.

Micky my dog... We had to have him put down 3 weeks ago (as already mentioned) :(
Unfortunately it was taken on a phone... and I dont have my editing software installed at the moment so a lot of detail is lost from the brightness :evil:

My Gran, who grew up on the praries (Alberta) used to tell me how as kids they'd get a nickel ($0.05) in bounty for every groundhog tail they turned in. Apparently they make quite good pets if you're not busy shooting them.

If we're doing pets, as it seems we are, how's about this one, tinker (the dog) is unfortunately no longer with us, at the time of this picture was pretty tired all the time, with poor eyesight, but a well loved family pet.

Obviously not in the wild but a cool pic I thought, Chester zoo, can't wait to go back now I've got my new camera!
Well it was a hard choice, it really was. I must have gone through every picture on the thread 4 times! But the winner is........
drum roll please
gruntygiggles!!
.....for this really nice picture of her dog. Very clear picture with nice depth of field (background out of focus and blurred, and the subject sharp) Very emotive but I think what made it stand out was the framing of it too, I liked the skewed/diagonal shot but keeping the pup square in the frame. Very nice, very well done
