All these photos make me want to get some new lenses for my camera.

Owl Camoflage
Masters of disguise. The eastern screech owl is seen here doing what they do best. You better have a sharp eye to spot these little birds of prey. –National Geographic
Wow, this is pretty awesome. Love the photo. Download the wallpaper.
Camera Shopping Tips
A lot of friends always ask me what kind of camera to buy. In general. it’s really not about the camera body… it’s about the lens. I typically recommend getting the best lens possible and getting a cheap digital SRL body to go with it. Here are some additional tips that can help you purchase a new camera.

Photos from Saturn
In this rare image taken on July 19, 2013, the wide-angle camera on NASA’s Cassini spacecraft has captured Saturn’s rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame. It is only one footprint in a mosaic of 33 footprints covering the entire Saturn ring system (including Saturn itself). At each footprint, images were taken in different spectral filters for a total of 323 images: some were taken for scientific purposes and some to produce a natural color mosaic. This is the only wide-angle footprint that has the Earth-moon system in it. Nasa.gov
Probably some of the most clear photos I’ve seen. Kind of insane that these are real photos of ourselves. Here we are, Earth, suspended in space like a grain of dust.
