The world through Teddy's ears.

Jim, I love your photos and they remind me of when Jodi_in_Cal was here. She posted some tango shots in Buenos Aires as well and they were stunning. I love those kind of photos.

Murraysmom, I love that!!! (and Teddy)

Katie's beautiful, Summer.

That dance pad that they worked on was taken up every night and relaid in the morning. There were four restaurants around the park and food was served day and night.

The two dancers had 'their' table' and would dance for 15 minutes, then sit for 45. There were other dancers in the park, but none as good as these two. Of course they passed the hat after each demonstration.

This is a blast from the past. We don't see a whole lot of snow. I think dh took this in 2009. I didn't like this tree and wanted to cut it down, but the previous owners had paid $1000 dollars to have it planted. We had an ice storm that took took out most of the Bradford/Franklin pears around us. This one survived.

How about "under water...vs on land".....:0)

Mighty handsome fella, you got there, nicole!

Hi!

Our Key Largo last month underwater didn't work. This is the best one. I can't help but think it was old film? Because even above water they were grainy and awful.

glenda....Thank you!

Rob... My Dh says your lens is fogged up. He points to the left side of the photo where it's clear.

My little point n' shoot digital took the shot of my hubby.It's hit or miss too depending on the light. The flash can only do so much. For only $$.$$ you can carry the one my DH has in his hands....it's pretty easy to use....just large.

Summer beach, winter beach

It was the boy's camera, but I bet, knowing him, it was just greasy. Like his eyeglasses are constantly! Thanks Nicole!

I have a waterproof housing designed to fit a small Panasonic point and shoot digital camera. It will often have the problem where as soon as you enter the water, the cool water chills the front glass, and any bit of humidity inside the housing condenses on the inside of the glass.

Also even if it doesn't fog up, the pictures it produces need a fair bit of post processing due to the water filtering out colors.

Here is an image as taken by the camera:

and here is the same image after several rounds of contrast enhancement and color correction:

or this:

It is very possible that when you put the camera in the waterproof box, its white balance went awry due to the filtering of the box lens,

You also mentioned 'film'. Poor photo results from film photos are common these days, but not because of bad film; Its often due to bad processing. In my area, we are down to one processor. If your film gets processed some time after 8 am on Monday, usually its the best quality of the week. Later in the week, it becomes muddy. Why? This lab starts Monday morning with fresh chemicals in its vats and they are loath to change the vats as often as they should. The make do with makeup replenishment. Depending on how much film they have to process, the baths may get changed a couple of days after Monday, at which time re-newing their work. Results returned to the photo counter at your favorite store is mixed.

bob - what an amazing difference - you have the magical re-touching gene.
