 Nice photo's GrandpaRichard. Driving around yesterday I saw 10 pair's of Cinnamon Teal. 4 pair's in one place and 6 pair's in another (about a mile from the first bunch). Tomorrow should be excellent lighting in the morning for those pretty bird's. Remember the eagles and baby lamb's? Saw 4 pair's there on that road plus 7 group's of baby Honkers, 2 drake Woodies, some Mallard's, a drake Hooded Merganser and a drake wigeon.

As always I'm in ahh with your photos.  Now if only I could get this art work down and understand my camera.  So many of you have inspired me to start taking my own photo's

LOVE that second pic, did you use a filter to get the clouds to pop like that?
If you dont do it this year, you'll be one year older when you do!

Photography isn't really as hard as it looks! It just takes a little time and effort. :) If you lived around here I would help you out as much as I could. :)

Smith,
Nope. I don't use any filters on my lenses. The day was just as bright and colorful as what you see. I took that photo with the following settings:

Date Time Original   2012:05:24 00:24:21
Exposure Time   1/320
F Number   f / 10
Exposure Program   Manual
ISO Speed Ratings   100
Metering Mode   Spot
Flash   Flash did not fire, compulsory flash mode
Focal Length   40mm
White Balance   Manual white balance (sun setting)
Make   Canon
Model   Canon EOS 7D
LensInfo   4
LensModel   EF17-40mm f/4L USM

I did however adjust the Clarity and fill light, plus a tad bit of contrast and Blacks in Lightroom 3.5.

[/quHi Dick,

In fact I live in Marysville and would love to setup a time and place to have you educate me on my camera.  I own a Nikon 3100 and have been using the Auto setting and would love to learn much more.  After viewing your photos, and Boon's I just had to get involved.

hrd,
It would be so cool to get together with you! :) I haven't played with Nikon camera settings for a very long time, but they can't be much different than Canon settings. We will definitely have to get together sometime soon!

June will be a busy month for me. June 2nd. I'll be teaching archery to Girl Scouts. June 5,6,7 and 8th. my wife and I will be in the San Juan Islands on a 42nd. Wedding Anniversary / photo taking trip.

Then on June 20, 21, 22 nd. I'll be teaching Archery to Cub Scouts at Fire Mountain Scout Camp. Then the rest of the month is free. :) (or at least so far it is! ;) :) :D )

Drop me a PM and your phone number. I'll give you a call and see when we can set something up. :)

how do you like Lightroom 3? I have Photoshop CS3 it comes with bridge and I have heard they are kind of the same.

David,
I have Photoshop CS3 and also Lightroom 3.5. :) CS3 won't open my RAW files from my Canon 7D cameras, so I HAD to go Lightroom 3.5. I like the Lightroom program far better than the CS3! It has tons of features in it that CS3 doesn't have, so I can do my editing Much Faster! :)

Haha thats one of the reasons I want lightroom. CS3 won't open my RAW files either. I think my girlfriend can get it with her student ID too so I can get it cheaper!

David,
If you can get Lightroom 4 you will get a whole lot more features, including Video editing! You will love the program!
