Spent the long weekend camping so many pics to go through Gave the kids some sparklers and we celebrated Canada Day very early :) Morning clouds on mtns 32C and watched this cloud move in as we arrived home to severe thunderstorm warning Got monsters clicking my old P&S cameras as we hiked...

Still getting to know this town so found a new area to explore The Fraser River from another view point. The smell of the wild roses was so beautiful with the breeze, too bad the caterpillars ate all the trees. The river is still very high and parks are all still closed along the river but I...

Max and a couple ducks snoozing in the shade

Friday nights moon rising at 70mm instead of 280mm

A murder of crows in the caterpillar eaten trees ​

I'm a bit behind in going through my shots but here's some more Busy beavers down the road from us I'll have to remember to revisit this in better lighting now that I noticed it

Little duckies enjoying the evening outside with us Romeo checking us out

Tonight the moon rose like a huge orange ball looked like harvest moon but we could only see part as it rose right up into the storm clouds. Got a break though and tried again still orangish but not as huge and glowing orange as it was.

Moved out of "P" for low light situations last night for the first time and now my camera will never move from "M" it is so much fun. I've enjoyed figuring out my light and deciding my shutter, iso and aperture during the day since my class but friday I went out to try stars in "M" and had so...

Finally stepped out of my "P" comfort zone for low light shots and gave "M" a shot. I'm so glad I did I had so much fun with hubby last night. The moons the last 2 nights didn't last long as clouds moved in but last night it brought brought lightning which fantastic to finally capture Only...

I like this 1st composition better I think with the layers of fog visible from my higher vantage but the moon is so darn high. I wish I had better manipulation software and skills. I removed power lines etc though Twice in the last few days I've tried out my ND filter with interesting...

Some more flowers and wet leaves I found and tried playing with Like the red flowers and all the green but too distracting and flowers too centred Chives and grass after a rainy night found the water droplets had ALOT of highlights even though I was in heavily overcast light Ferns covered...

Goslings at 11days old and Duckling at 5wks old out with mom in the morning after a rainy night A try at flowers for the challenge I really like the yellow when changed to B&W. Not the cleanest flower or background so still searching out flowers A couple ducks became moms on the weekend

Found some Falls so tried out smoothing water for the first time This one handheld just to see if I could do it Went farther up the Falls and found this beautiful spot and wish I could have smoothed more but no place for tripod so handheld with nothing to brace on but mossy wet rocks...

Found some local Falls so here's my very first attempts at smoothing water ​ND filter Iso 100 18mm f/22 3secs

Second try-again no idea what it is but teeny tiny little flowers I found out in the back field only 5mm or less so wish I had a macro but found the pattern interesting and chose one that the sun was lighting nicely for me 70-300mm ISO200 270mm f/10 1/400

70-300mm iso 800 185mm f/5 1/50 Iso 800 260mm f/10 1/80 Iso 800 300 f/10 1/125 I know wish I hadn't cut his toes off... Had to use high iso so I could use a faster shutter since I was on a floating dock

Dragonfly 70-300mm iso 800 220mm f/14 1/60

So had to make a trip out by the osprey and eagles nests again and gave it another try. Reading other posts I think I need to explore my focus options other than single point but mainly my problem is that my 70-300mm just doesn't have enough reach. Family moaned and groaned but ended up...
