  1. Deka

    A relic of the Puget Sound history.

    The history says she should not even be around any more. How she has stayed in one piece and not been scrapped is a miracle in itself. In just a few short years, the hull will be 100 years old. Will she make the 100 year old mark? Only time will tell. Deka

    Grays Harbor Shorebird Festival April 25-27, 2014

    Terry O, If you don't mind me asking, where were you to get the shots? Hubby and I will be in that area in a couple weeks and I would like to use the camera. (Hopefully there will still be some birds around. LOL) Thank you for your time and consideration. Deka

    A relic of the Puget Sound history.

    This was shot from the 11th street bridge on Commencement Bay. She is on the south side of the bridge. From the bridge, you really can't miss her. Deka

    Yet more Edmonds Eagle Shots

    Would I be out of bounds if I said.... this is what aspire to do. If there was a like button my keyboard would need to be replaced because I'd pressed the button so many times. Patience young grasshopper, patience. Practice young grasshopper, practice..... Deka

    A relic of the Puget Sound history.

    A part of Puget Sound's history is still around. May the current owner have success reviving the old girl. Deka

    Steel Wool Fun

    It was cold, it was dark, it was fun! How many times have you just had fun with the camera and not worried about how the shot would turn out. Welcome to the fun world of steel wool.:D Deka

    Something a little less challenging than an Eagle

    Yes, I shoot a Canon and I have used the Mirror lock up feature before. Either I don't fully understand the concept or the shots I took really didn't need the function. I understand that the mirror lock up (MLU) is supposed to also stop the camera from vibrating prior to the shot. This may be...

    Something a little less challenging than an Eagle

    Thank you for the compliment Chad. Being new to photography, it means a lot! We have Flickers in our area as well. I've not been able to be in place at the time to get any good shots of them .... yet. My all time wish is to be able to capture my resident Anna Hummingbirds (mated male and...

    Something a little less challenging than an Eagle

    I think I'm in a fairly wet area of the state. :) I was once informed that there was no way I could have Scrub Jays in my area. I have proof that they are here. LOL They are very enjoyable to watch. Deka

    Something a little less challenging than an Eagle

    Hi Joe, Lakewood, just south of Tacoma. They arrived last year and I saw them through the winter. I think they have a nest in the fir tree in front of the house. Listening to them 'talk' to each other is very interesting. This one was looking for the peanuts that I had thrown on the ground...

    Something a little less challenging than an Eagle

    The common Scrub Jay. (I seem to have a resident pair) Any thoughts or suggestions are most welcome. Deka

    Chambers Creek Eagle

    Yeh, I knew cropping tighter would make things fuzzy. Like I mentioned earlier, I need to work on getting shots tack sharp. Or move that tree closer. ;) Even LR5 and NIK were unable to correct my inability to get a sharp image. :( Just another learning experience. :) Deka

    Chambers Creek Eagle

    Thank you Max and Rocky for your thoughts and suggestions. Is this crop closer to what both of you are referring to? I was afraid to crop too close because the eagle is not tack sharp. I now know that even if a shot is not perfect, one can always work on the PP side of photography. Deka

    Chambers Creek Eagle

    Max, If you would be so kind as to share your thoughts concerning the shot, it would be greatly appreciated. There is so much to learn that I'm open to any and all thoughts. Deka

    Chambers Creek Eagle

    Practicing with my new lens. Not tack sharp but I'll improve. :) Need to get comfortable with a remote shutter release. I debated about the crop. I wanted escape space but I think I left too much. Thank you for looking. Deka

    Long time lurker finally signed up.

    Hi All, For several months I've been enjoying the wonderful photography that is posted here. I am far from being as good as all of you are but it will be nice to work towards that goal. Anyway, my name is Deka and I'm working on improving my photography skills. Thank you for letting me...
