I thought this was interesting. It's a picture taken by my buddy's trail camera. As you can see, it's a bobcat. We've been hunting and camping in this section of woods for over 30 years, but have never seen any signs of it before. I've walked this trail countless times.

Scroll down to “distribution and habitat” and read the third paragraph. This was taken in the heart of the Finger Lakes area, specifically, just a few miles south of Penn Yan.

 

That's very cool. That's basically my backyard and I did not know there were bobcat around here. A few years ago there were several sightings of mountain lion. My sister and nephew saw one, maybe the only one.

MOD EDIT:

 

 

^omg that photoshop

 

 

That's a real car. 4:27
Unless you were talking about the processing of the image.

 

He meant the silly processing.

 

Yes.

I do not use photoshop.
Never felt a need.

 

I'll just leave this out there:

 

 

 

I hate dark noise so much. Its so hard to try to cover up too.
Thankfully trhese sensors are getting better and better. Each one of my 3 DSLRs took a quantum leap in reducing noise at high ISO. I actually find myself adding in faux-film grain.

 

that looks like complete ****.



most pros wouldn't use PS, they'd use Aperture or Lightroom. They also wouldn't take such a poorly composed picture.

 

One could still add a lens flare. Then the **** would be complete.

Videogames are now starting to do this because stupid people think that is "good graphicz"
