I like the first one I have here, but the second 2 are included because I think these water spider creatures are amazing how they can sit and scoot on the surface.

Gorgeous as usual, Kimmie. Love the bird shot. Awesome! And the bug shots.....pretty cool. :) That phenomena is called stiction (pronounced STICK-shun). Has to do with the surface tension of the water. It's always amazed me, too. I'd love to be able to do that! lol :)

I just love this beauty, I see him quite often, but he is usually in a pasture farther away from the road.

Love this! I used to own a wall eyed pinto when I was helping run a horse ranch near Ghost Dam, past Cochrane, AB back in the early 80's. Nice shot, Kimmie. :)

Thanks, He is definitely an eye catching horse, I always was partial to pintos and paints.

The Humming birds were so beautify this morning.

This little Robin came running right at me, and then took off with his prize, I thought it was lucky timing to bet this, the bugs last few seconds!

Nice humming bird shot Kim,
can I ask you, what is your favorite mode to shoot in?
Click to expand...
Sure you can, I always use the M, manual mode, I like the colour I get better than using the auto modes, I find them to be too washed out usually. For most of my shots, I use a very fast shutter speed. The humming bird was taken with ISO 3200, at 1/4000, -2.7ev, and f5.6, I did add a touch of saturation, and sharpened it ever so slightly. I still don't feel like I know anywhere near enough, but I live in a fairly remote area, and there are no courses available, so I just muddle through, and do what works for me.
