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.
