John (300m) > Jan 1: Happy New Year! Here is wishing everyone a happy new year! I took this shot tonight on the way for as walk. As the temps her dropped 30 degrees and the wind was blowing 35 mph I just grabbed a few shots and put the gear in the car. I had to try as the colors were so cool tonight with the blanket of pinks, reds and blues. No filters today, just mother nature. Going to bed now I will catch comments in the morning as Smuggie was down again tonight.
John (300m) > Dec 14: Holiday Greetings: I worked on this late last night as I started doing the christmas decorations for the house and the tree last night. I got everything down and I organized the outside lights, just need to finished them today. I did the same with the inside decorations. I just need to bring the tree in for the kittens to play with. I remembered about I had no POD so I also setup my Holiday Card shot shooting from the hip. I used the candy cane plate I bought at breakfast to setup the shot. Hope you all like the picture and enjoy the remainder of the weekend
John (300m) > August 10: Knock Knock We went to Newport News Park yesterday to checkout the work the beavers had done on some trees and to go for a walk. We had a nice walk and enjoyed the trip, my daughter was a real ham :). I caught this woodpecker when I was leaving the park. He was on the tree check us out. Shot handheld leaning against the walkway. I just added the vignetting blur in PS.
John (300m) > Nov 23: Toxic Cocktail Mystery drink. Can you guess what I did here. I was talking with Hillary yesterday and she told me to post this and see if folks can guess this. OK Hillary here is the shot, can you guess? I know one person knows as they gave me the base idea :) Happy Sunday. I will post the original to my contenders gallery tomorrow My THANKS to everyone who guessed. Peptp Bismol inverted in PS. The original shot is in my DP contenders gallery Pepto Thanks for the comments and guesses!
John (300m) > June 14: Damselfly I was out today looking for some shots for my POD when I saw the cone flower in bloom. I went back in to get my tripod and flash as the sky was heavily overcast and gloomy. When I came back out with the gear in my hand I saw this damselfly on the flower. I photo, the fly in various poses while holding the flashes in one hand and the tripod leaning against me. So much for the gear. The on camera flash was up but at -2 EV as I had indented to hand hold the lighting for the flower. When I moved close he flew away. I cropped this shot to show the detail of the fly and the flower. Look for these cone flowers in the future. Happy Fathers Day folks. EXIF D200 105mm in manual. ISO 125 1/60 f/13 0EV flash -2.0 EV Off to get a flat fixed as my front tire is flat. I will get comments later when I get the car fixed.
John (300m) > Fall Colors Really wet fall colors. Another shot I captured in the rain. These were in my back yard. This one was a bit harder as I has the 70-200mm ED on the camera and that is a heavy lens. I balanced the umbrella on my shoulders and took the shot as the rain ran down my back and pants. I was a bit wet as I took ~ 10 shots till I was happy as the sun was trying to come out. So I had rain and sun & a wet camera and photographer. But I got the shot :) Thanks everyone for yesterdays comments! Super busy yesterday. What I thought would be a quiet slow day turned out to be busy and I got no shots, never got my planned picture and the few I took last night ......yuck Have to d better tonight. Good part is my daughter 13, cleaned her room! Those with teenagers will understand. 14 bags of stuff went out! I can see the floor and even the closet is clean. We wonder what she wants???? We bought her christmas gifts yesterday, she did not know so that is not it....... Have a great week
John (300m) > June 2: Butterfly's are free tonight, fly away bye bye Elton John Butterfly that I chased on my walk for at least 10 min. He was flitting from dandelion to dandelion feeding on the flowers. I took about 10 shots before I got a good one to use for the DP. I had my D200 today so I was happy to chase him around the moat walk. Nothing special here, natural light and an 18-200 VR lens to capture the shot. EXIF D200 ISO 125 1/250 f/8.0 +1/3 EV 200mm
John (300m) > Bun-Bun We came home from work today to find our 8 yr old bunny near death. She was in her cage on he side, had no interest in people or food. Normally she is hyper and begs for treats at the drop of a hat. She would not move or get up. We called a bunch of vets to find one who would see a rabbit. The vet we normally saw retired and they have no one to see exotic pets. I think I called half the emergency vets without much success. We found one where we take the kittens 30 miles up the road and made the trip. Bun was in a bad way and not responding well at all. The Vet told us it had moved to far to do much to save her. She recommend we euthanize her so she would not suffer. She said it was most likely age and an something else that caught her all of a sudden. We will miss her as she was the 1st rabbit/pet we got as a family. I wanted to do this little tribute to her from me. Bun was a mini Rex and full size.
John (300m) > Jan 3: Old House I captured this old house yesterday in the rain. Something about the house pulled at me and I had to go back and capture this shot even though it was a light rain. My camera spent the day drying after this. The others are here. Old House Have a good Day. I will catch up later today
