I got out and used my camera today...

Looking at the paws I think in time :eek: Love the look, thinking one day....

 

Dickie,

 

Oh he was feisty, even as a cub. One time he hunkered down, wiggled his back hips, and bounded out to jump on me. Even at his small size that was a collision. At that time I was thinking, "in a few months that would collapse my rib cage!"

 

Here's a shot where he was starting to "stalk" me.

I got the chance to play with a tiger cub recently - the tiger kept climbing up on me so I didn't get to shoot as many pictures as I wanted.

 

This is my favorite shot from that experience.

 

 

Are You looking at Me?! Great shot! :)

Yesterday, I got out and enjoyed the spring weather and Michigan State Parks!

Got to experience the Washington DC cherry blossoms for the first time.

Thank you Sharod. That's a truly stunning shot.

 

The lighting is unique and I love the way the blossom frames the subject.

Beautiful shots - that's on my bucket list, going to Washington DC in the spring to photograph the cherry blossoms.

Thank you both. It was my first cherry blossom visit. Next year I may try to spend the night there and be there at first light.

Cracking photo.

 

Also love all the others.

 

managed to get this on my iphone when I visited my friend. A robin had nested in his shed, and mum was out at the time.

Tried a vertical panorama with the nearest tall subject (when it occurred to be to try it).

 

 

 

I may even get a 12x48 pano print made of this...:)

What did you shoot the pano with pierces?

[pierces]

A6000 and the 55-210 zoom. Assembled in Photoshop.

My panos turn out junk.

 

Couldn't be the camera and lens combo - it being the same as Dave's, so it must be ... :-)

 

Great shots!

Have you tried Autostitch to assemble your panos? It is free and it does a good job of putting pictures together both horizontally and vertically or a combination of both. You need to make sure that the exposure is the same on all of the photos that you use or they won't look right. In my P&S there was a pano setting that I used. I haven't tried panos with my DSLR yet.

Adorable!!

I took this pano with my DSLR, took a lot of processing power for Photoshop to stitch them together, but it's pretty cool. A tripod with a pan head would be useful!

Hanging out at the Oceanside pier:

 

[ikirumata]

My neighbor set up a bird house next to our fence! Although I wish bald eagles would perch there, I guess Ill just have to work with what happens to live in it. :p This season it looks like house sparrows.

He's cute.

He's cute.

 

I think that's the she :)

 

The males have the dark band over the eyes and the black beard. I took a shot of him too, but I haven't processed it yet.

[pierces]

Broke out the 25-yesr-old Minolta macro lens and went through the garden after last night's much-needed rain. Tried a new hand-held method that worked pretty well.
