February 23, Day 54, Shot 54 Cold and wet describes our weather, and part of this description applies to this critter, and although I dislike them running the birds off, it is my daily shot.

And I can't decide which of these I like better...

February 21, Day 52, Shot 52 Such a photographically frustrating day!! I've got to reassess my entire procedure and setup. Over 100 shots of birds using the D90 and 300 mm (manual focus), and there wasn't a single one that was in focus. They looked ok in the viewfinder, and the focus...

February 20, Day 51, Shot 51 I made plans to revisit an earlier shot this evening, but it required a visible sun for the sunset. What we had instead was a solid, horizon-to-horizon, overcast. Then, I went home and set up for bird shots, but the birds didn't get the word.:( So, I've gone...

And another from today, taken haphazardly from a moving car, through the windshield, IOT get the shot. How many aircraft shots are framed by an oak tree?

February 17, Day 48, Shot 48 Slow down there, ya Loon!!

February 13, Day 44, Shot 44 Ok, so having lots of family in town puts photography on the back burner, so what to photograph at 10:45 PM? Well, duh!!! As I sat down to dessert, a slice of the "bestest" cake ever, it was staring me in the face. Take a shot of your dessert!! So I did, and as...

Feb 11, 2014, day 42, Shot 42 "An Orchid by any other name should smell so sweet..." Sorry, William. A dried orchid. Was a bloom last week. WM

February 10, Day 41, Shot 41 The clouds rolled in just as I was getting home, and by the time I got my camera to the site, there was absolutely no evidence that the sun even existed, as far as color was concerned. Even worse, it was nearly dark So I went about looking for a decent storm shot...

Since I'm quite busy around the house these days, I'm not venturing far in my quest for photos. Therefore, I'm posting more bird photos. Not sure what species this is, and it's too late to look it up. And I'm not sure of the brand of this one... But I do know this is a Chickadee An...

And another from yesterday, of which I just couldn't get the eye sharp!! ;) WM

February 8, Day 39, Shot 39 Plus Yard birds Manual Exposure/Focus And for MikeD90 and Marilynne, a Warbler WM

February 6, Day 37, Shot 37 plus Yesterday, my light was fair; today, it was just bad. We had a solid overcast all day, with a 15-20 mph wind, air temp right around 40 and it rained off and on throughout the day. I was hoping the overcast might reveal some chance of a sunset, but It wasn't...

Marcel, I've added about one stop of exposure to each of the two shots you earlier said something about. WM

February 5, Day 36, Shot 36 Took the camera in to work again today. I can learn some things. On my way home, tonight, I stopped at a roadside egret roosting area. As long as I've lived here, the egrets have roosted overnight in this lake, and likely will do so as long as there are roosts for...

February 4, Day 35, Shot 35 I pass this place nearly every day on my way home from work. It's called Doc's Oyster Bar. Maybe I could leave work a bit early on sick time, and pay the "Doc" a visit? No? ;) Better not, I'd likely run into my boss doing the same there, which could get awkward...
