[QUOTE="piperbarb, post: 145594, member: 12214"] 5-5-13: Part 1 I am going to separate today's posting into two parts because they are so dissimilar. Here is the first group. I love the light of morning, so while I took the dog out this morning, of course I brought my camera with me. Both photos were taken with my D3000 and 55-200mm non-VR lens. ISO 200. The first photo was at 1/160th and f/5.6. I just loved the way the light fell in the woods and sometimes, B&W is the best way to illustrate that. [B]Morning Light[/B] [ATTACH=CONFIG]35583._xfImport[/ATTACH] On the way back to the house, I saw this blue jay. Once he took flight I just snapped a few. I was really amazed how well this came out because I was holding the dog with one hand and the camera with the other. Maybe I should do that more often. :) I love how the sunlight backlights its wings. This is the first time I actually was successful getting a bird in flight that was in focus! 1/2000th and f/5.6.
