    Black River pintails

    Nice image of the two pintails together. The second one is a bit soft, either from cropping or needing a faster SS at the lnoger focal length. Bob, eagles decimated the heron chicks at the Peasley Canyon site and the herons pretty much abandoned it in 1999. Too bad, as it was a good spot...

    The Lady

    Didn't really up the saturation much on it, maybe only +7 on the slider for the reds in the original conversion years ago (I seldom did much then to any of the photos, was always trying for straight from the camera). But I did desaturate the other colors and tweaked the vibrance and blacks...

    The Lady

    Otherwise known as my aphid killing machine. It's an image I took almost 6 years ago. The shallow dof courtesy of the 100mm macro.

    A Sunshine Day

    Well shoot, now I really want some warmer weather to come.

    Be careful when in the rain.

    My favortie view of squirrels is through a different piece of glass... Ru Roh... here come the phone calls from PETA again. lol

    Brrrr, it's cold outside!!

    Nice find and capture of the textures and shapes. I think it would be stronger done with a different crop cutting out 1/3 of the bottom of the picture, a hair below the edge of the dune on the left so it leads your eye into the frame.

    Hummingbird of Edmonds, WA

    Nice compositions on the little hummers. They are pretty small so you have to be really careful about focusing, often times having to manual focus to get them, as the auto focus may have problems locking on their small bodies among all the other items.. These are "Annas" hummingbirds. They...

    Snowmelt

    I like that you exposed it to show motion of the droplets instead of freezing them in place.

    Show us your snow!

    We went to Yelm today to see a movie. On the trip over there was no snow in most of the places. We came out of the theater and there was almost two inches on top of the truck and the road was getting pretty dicy with ice under what was sticking. Several cars thought they were invincible until...

    Here kitty kitty...

    It is amazing to see this. The wildlife biologists think it was two moms with youngsters. I've also seen three in the wild, one while lglassing down over a mountain side a couple of hundred yards away, another up close that took off as soon as I saw it and the third one just laid on top of an...

    Here kitty kitty...

    did anyone else see this on the news? Pretty awesome surprise to get on a game camera. http://www.king5.com/news/environment/Remote-cameras-giving-unprecedented-glimpse-of-animal-kingdom-116511023.html

    Show us your snow!

    The stellars jays and the woodpecker are keeping their distance. I'll have to sit out under the overhang in a lawn chair for a while to get them.

    Show us your snow!

    Not alot of snow here, maybe an inch with just a little falling right now. There are about 40 robins out in the yard right now along with a bunch of smaller finches, stellars jays and a downy woodpecker that keeps flitting in and out. Poor robins look confused... almost the look of "isn't...

    Southern Oregon Car Show 1

    I think you can start to get the effect somewhere around f11, it will be soft, and it gets more pronounced the smaller the aperture gets. Where shooting wide open just gives you a big round highlight. If your camera has a preview button where it closes down the aperture, you can see the effect...

    Downtown Portland with my new lens

    Looks like you will be having some fun with that lens. The 50mm is a great lens and I have always thought that each photographer should have one in their bag, you can't beat the bang for the buck with them. Also, in your first shot you can already see how shallow the dof is. Notice how her...

    Southern Oregon Car Show 1

    Here's two examples of what the small aperture does to the highlights on a bright sunny day.. instant stars, the number of rays coming out depends on the number of leaves on the lens creating the aperture. OK, one more example from all the way back in 2002. Shooting with the old...

    Rex the snow dog

    Nice shots of the pup. The action shots all look like he's having fun, but that first one sure seems to capture his character.

    Southern Oregon Car Show 1

    Car shows inside venues are really tough to shoot. Lousy lighting, too many people, and most often you can't use a tripod. Nice shots from the event, although the shutter speeds are a bit slow and causes some to be a bit soft. but that works giving a vintage look to the pictures. If you ever...

    Stream of Consciousness

    Very nice work. I would skip the framed print and go right to an even larger gallery wrapped canvas. The water and stones would look cool wrapped around the sides of it.

    what is it?

    I'm not sure, but if the doc gives you a big dose of penicillin it might go away.
