Great photos as usual from you guys. Out in southern Alberta these days trying out how the new trailer does in the cold with no shore power. Below freezing at night and the solar, batteries and furnace are doing great...yay.

Saw this at my mothers today. All I could think of was, this bird needs a biger house!

Right after the picture, it swooped down and grabbed a field mouse and flew away!

Meijer Garden And Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids MI.
American Horse and two grandkids. View from up on a nearby hill.
Is a few miles from g/kids house where we stay with the g/kids 1 or 1 1/2 days a week. So we go to Meijer Garden about twice a month (they got us season pass). THis day was overcast so I took camera camera.

In this shot, I liked the way the kids legs mimicked the horses legs.

I debated if to attempt to edit over that landscapers cart. I still may.
But then again, I will be back there again.

The Calumet, 639ft.

A big thing like that, up that close, even moving slow like 1.5mph, can have some motion blur at large fraction of a second.
So, crank up the ISO, so can have small fraction of a second shutter speed,
0.4 second here, and still some motion blur.

>> Later Note: And some miss focus here, now I see that I look some more. Something to work on.

For better or worse, I'm stuck at the same job for possibly the next two months. For an antsy type like me who visits multiple sites in a week its a bit of a shock. There are some good things though, work related and otherwise. In the otherwise category, there are a bunch of parks nearby.
This was Friday after work. I love how the water was curling around the leaf.

. . . . . . the water was curling around the leaf. . . . . . r

interesting optical effect of the ripples in the water.

I hadn't noticed that until looking at it later. Its a fairly decently cropped image. Luckily I was pretty good with the focus. Pic was taken with the manual lens.

This afternoon. Same park. I did take liberties and add a few extra drops of water on the leaf that was above the water surface. That GM 1 just keeps on impressing me...

Reflections in shadows. by Glen Brenner, on Flickr

[Baatfam]

I enjoy when you work with water, Glen...Nice.

[Redman]

Interstring how the reflection is only in the shadows..... and I think the shadow are of the tree trunks that see in reflection ! !

Great.

Ha
Reflection shots are usally seen looking away from the sun, so sun is on the objects not the reflective surface.
