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.
Awesome News my Friend! Thanks for the tip! :)

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
hrd,
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. :)

LOVE that second pic, did you use a filter to get the clouds to pop like that?
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.

Pictures of bugs are kinda fun. I got this one a couple years ago.
Cool photo of one Ornery Critter David! Great Capture.

[/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.
Post by: grandpawrichard on May 25, 2012, 11:45:32 AM
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. :)

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! :)

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