View Quote This was 30 seconds at ISO 100 and I think like F16 or so. 2 images, stacked in Affinity Photo. I took a bunch of exposures but those were the only two with lightning in them. I have a lot more from later in the storm, but that was much later after sunset, so the clouds and sky are less interesting. |

I'd love to mess with it one day. This looks like a good candidate for a focus stack to get that one large foreground rock in focus, but it's a beautiful picture as-is. |

I can't ever get close enough, and struggle with the limitations of my gear. All my telephotos are on the cheap end of the spectrum so the maximum aperture is usually F5.6 or worse, and a fast enough shutter to freeze their wings and let me hand-hold the camera gets me into ISO 1000 and above territory, so everything comes out grainy. I think next year I'm going to try setting the camera up right by a feeder and triggering the shutter remotely. That will let me use a much sharper lens without being so close as to scare them away. I tested it out and it worked really well for getting close shots of chipmunks. |

So I've been working on a nasty piece of dirt down in Surry County this week, and staying in Williamsburg.
VDOT (Virginia's Dept. of Transportation) operates a FREE ferry between Surry County and Jamestown, across the Mighty James River, and I've been able to ride the ferry every morning and evening. Saves me about 50 miles of driving every day. Might not be a big deal for some of you guys, but I think it's the cat's pajamas. There's three boats that I've seen; the Surry, the Powhatan, and the Williamsburg. I've been on the Powhatan and the Surry. Maybe tomorrow I'll get to ride the Williamsburg.

Finished cruising the swamp today. Only about 500,000,000 mosquitos per acre. And about an equal number of yellow flies and deer flies. The flies get you when you move, the mosquitos get you when you stand still.

After checking focus around the eyes while culling photos I do minimal post processing, didn't see the bra because Chloe has fantastic skin and wasn't any need to zoom in with the clone stamp tool so I just never noticed it. What I did notice was that focus was soft around the eyes, way softer than I usually allow. But the cop car wasn't at the light long, and the pose and everything else worked so I kept it. |
