Day #101 Apr. 10 Just a stormy shot, waiting for a Light Ray shot for the weekly challenge Another attempt at something for the Light Beam challenge. I had some great ideas for this, but it is proving a little more difficult to pull off. Ha! First I thought that I would use a light in a box...

@Blacktop Nice job there Pete. A beautiful capture. My question is: Where did you find a bird that looks so real to place in that tree. Ha!

Day #100 Apr. 9 Wow! One hundred days and I am still in this. Only 266 more to go. Ha! Robbing the penny bank or picking up my marbles err, I mean money and going home. A small slice of the moon.

Day #99 Apr. 8 A guy checking out his phone and oblivious to the world. The desert is starting to "Green Up" and the clouds were starting to bring a storm. The smell of rain in the desert is indescribable, but so refreshing. I did have to remove some ugly power lines from the clouds using...

Day #98 Apr. 7 It was late before I even had a chance to pick up a camera. I decided to try playing with streaking lights and low light. I didn't have the tripod, so after a few handheld shots, I decided to give it up for the day. Ha!

Day #97 Apr. 6 Charlie, giving me that "What are you doing?" look. Saw this guy at the end of his day (I think). He evidently does yard work as he was carrying his lawn mower, rakes, etc on his bike trailer (Actually a hand truck). Shortly after he came by, this Fire Truck came...

Day #96 Apr. 5 Trying to get caught up. I did not have internet service for the past few days, but now I do and can post some more photos. A female House Finch enjoying some Ocotillo Flowers Smoking it or eating it?

Day #95 Apr. 4 A Curve-Billed Thrasher in flight. I had turned down the shutter speed thinking I would get a shot of it perched, however it flew. Ha! A Red-Tailed Hawk And finally a Sparrow of some variety.

Day #94 Apr. 3 Spring is here. My small apple tree started blooming. A Dove in flight And.... A Dove in flight around the Shovel-Hoe Crane

Day #93 Apr. 2 No owl today. I guess he flew the coop (hole in the ground.) Ha! A Red-Tailed Hawk And an old Black Crow

Week #13 Theme: Weather Mar. 26-Apr. 1 A storm brewing over the mountains, but a ray of light gives that hope of a bright future.

Probably all of you D7100 users are already aware of this, but just in case you don't I will share it. I have U2 set for Manual with Shutter speed to 1/500, f10 etc. These are base settings that I use and switch from for different situations. So if for example I change the shutter speed to...

Day #92 Apr. 1 Today on my walk, the little owl was hanging in the same place as yesterday. I think they must be nesting there. And then a Turkey Buzzard soaring waaaaaaaaaay up there. Not a great shot of the bird, but I liked the whole sky shot with the silhouetted bird.

Thanks @mikew. The owl was a surprise to see and it didn't seem to be too interested in heading off too far for awhile. I caught a couple in flight as it moved around, but none of them were in decent focus.

Day #91 (Continued) A couple more showing a little bit of the evening sunset/golden hour.

Day #91 Mar. 31 Today was much more accommodating for photography. I had time and the subjects provided during the day were fun. A Pygmy Owl (I think) was one of the first things that flew out from a fence line along my walk. It landed in the neighbors field and watched me take its picture...

April 2016 ... "Foolishness" "Something that made you/others laugh" -- Let's escape all of the unhappiness in the world today and capture something that made you/others laugh. April 1st is April Fools Day, so what a great way to start out this month's challenge! Maybe a photo of a good prank...

Day #90 Mar. 30 This is getting to be a bad habit. I had to work again today, so I only had a chance to capture a couple of birds. An old Crow flying by. And a Male Vermilion Flycatcher that was about 300 miles away, so a very cropped image.
