I'm really getting a photographic inferiority complex. A nasty cold (flu?) 
has laid me out for the last couple of days. I've spent the time watching 
the nature shows on the Discovery channel on TV. Some of the nature movie 
images on the Planet Earth series are far better than anything I have ever 
taken, and to tell the truth, better than anything I've seen on the LUG with 
the possible exception of  Doug Herr's birds and Jayanard's safari pictures. 
I don't know how many thousands of hours of footage were culled to get the 
moments of images but the results are spectacular.

If it's any consolation the Planet Earth movies are made with much bigger 
budgets and crews than most individuals can muster: guides, scouting, travel 
budgets and support services all help.  What gets me down is shoveling horse 
manure and fixing horse fencing (for the 20th time) when the light is 
perfect.  It's not friday but the horses are for sale.
