i gave up, no show, nothing to do with i was under the "wrong tree"

EDIT, i must say i love the sb-250 far better than the sb-100, it has a fine tune knob which works real good

Well at least your "eagle" shot came out fab. Congratulations on the adoption. As a foundling myself I am pleased to see a child get a break. I am sure he will bring much joy to your life.

 

[Roy1961]

Cheers Ron, thats our second one (Ryan), finished now, we will try and give them a better start to life, both great kids and a pleasure to have.

DAY 89.

Today at the Lake, got there at 6:30 ish and it was dark and cloudy, 54 deg and i was in my shorts and tee shirt, got some strange looks.

see what you get if you stand under the correct nest!! there are four of them in a row of 3 trees, i was under the wrong one for a while

 

[Roy1961]

some sort of smaller hawk? it flew as i zoomed out all the way. Its at the top in the second photo, bad crop

 

[Marilynne]

Looks like a red shouldered hawk to me.

 

[Roy1961]

Thanks Marilynne

DAY 91, a quarter of the way through, not a great selection today, the one of Rebecca is just a test shot to see how much i could push the iso in the studio, think it was 2000.

i was outside taking this shot, i just pumped up the iso to see what it turned out like.

my neighbors palm and the last of the storm clouds over Big Bear as it heads east.

EDIT, you cant even see Big Bear.

It looks like a cocos palm. Those are just one of the horror weeds in my place. They grow from seed too easily There is a grove of them down by my dam that need to go, they are HUGE I just can't LIKE that photo.

Your ISO test shot is cool though. You'd never guess the ISO was so high. You'd have to be happy with that

 

[Scott Murray]

Congratulations on the adoption mate

 

[Scott Murray]

they seemed to be going around in pairs, one following/stuck to the other

These look like termites to me.

DAY 94

The stray cat came back around and presented us with these (5 off), two weeks old tomorrow, i haven't had a moon shot in a while, hand held, and tigger another stray we took in as a kitten.

 

[Roy1961]

just to point out i usually shot the moon at iso 100 and at 1/320 or faster, but i am trying things a little different to see what happens, that moon shot is at 1/60 at 300mm, i know that's a big no no, it should be faster than the focal length, but as said trying somethings different.
