I should think that would be one of the best times to take pictures.
Pretty shots of pretty places are easy...

The PAW project came about as a result of the same thing we tend to do here
(talk about equipment rather than taking pictures...but I blame that on
Photokina). Kyle Cassity on the Leica Users Group came up (half-jokingly) that
the LUG people should use their cameras rather than just talking about them,
and challenged them to post one decent photo a week. I participated for several
years, but when the demands of my job got to the point that I had almost no
free time, I had to let the project go. Then Katrina hit us, and I didn't do
much of anything photographic because the city looked like London after WWII.

Thanks for the input, Jeffery.
I've been curious about the PAW project, having seen references to it in
subject lines on the list in the past. I just assumed it was an individual
effort. Maybe a kind soul will explain it to me sometime. Now, I've at least
put together the fact that PAW stands for Picture-a-Week -- or something
similar.
As for trying to capture birds ... the funny thing is, that was my main focus
when I got my K-x. It never occurred to me not to try it, inasmuch as I'd seen
photos of birds in flight, so I just took it for granted that it was possible
to do, and set about doing it. I get a passable shot only about ten percent of
the time, but it's sort of like the old saw about taking a rather forward
approach with women: Nine out of ten times, you get slapped. But, that tenth
time...
Thanks again!
