Grass and wind again

wanted to take a sharp reflection pic and there the rain started again

I will nail this in flight stuff,its just a good job ime not paying for 35mm





Still a way to go but the D300 seams more helpful than the D5100

I would have *loved* to see this shot turn out properly... I'm still not sure how I managed to botch it!

This is what happens when one tries to rely on autofocus. The fuzzy red thing in the center is the dragonfly I was trying to take a photo of. I turned off the autofocus and it came out great.

I always switch the lens to M for dragonflies, then if it's out of focus, it's my fault.

It turned its back on me

Out from the car on the wayside, on the yesterday's windy evening - I thought the 55-300 can get it sharp but as you see It was only a thought

 

[mikew_RIP]

This is a bit of a challenge to me,i intend to keep trying until i get it.

It is looking like faster shutter speed might help... do not know what you shot it at but the wing movement is there and I am sure slight movement of the bee..

You are oh so close... nice job!

It came out of nowhere,locked the focus on in continuous started to pan but gripped a bit too hard and fired before the panning was synchronised.

The train was backing up and I was ready to take the shot when I heard a car behind me. I took the shot before the car got in the way. If I had known it was an antique car I would have waited. Would have been a good shot then.

Green Heron - at least his feet are kinda in focus

 

[Shirleyann]

This site is o funny. I guess I'll forgive all my opp's, and just laugh at them, if I can find them. I just destroy them before some one see's them, and wonder what I'm doing with a camera.

I get a lot of BIF shots like that except they are not cool, subtropical birds, just birds like crows, robins, blue jays and grackles.

It makes you realize that you are not alone, that's for sure. I love it.

Now here's a thread that makes me feel better! I likely should post all my photos here! Lol
Well I'll learn sooner or later.

During the tail-end of Hurricane Sandy last year, I was taking a walk to a severely damaged building when I heard screeching wheels. I spun around to see a guy spinning out around the corner, but by the time I got my lens cap off (it was raining) and pulled my camera up, he'd come to a complete stop.
