This is my favorite picture from our trip. If only I wouldn't have been so zoomed in, maybe

I would have gotten his head. I still really love the picture even if he is headless:)

My attempts at panning. I think for me there is no skill yet...just luck. It either works or it doesn't.

I love the compostion of this picture. Here is the Mallard looking at me with that "are you looking at me" look. And then in the blurred background you can see his family. The mother and a chick.

These are amazing simply because, how often do you get the chance to take a resting hummingbird's picture. I totally messed up the aperture though because I didn't take a minute to think. I shot with an aperture of 2.8 and didn't get the focus I wanted. Next time I WILL remember.

1/100 SS, F 5.6, ISO 200 (with 70-300 telephoto on a tripod)
Should have used a larger aperture...I wonder if it would have looked differently. By the way it will be a full moon on Thursday night when we have our little meeting. If it's clear maybe we can step outside for some shots. Bring your tripods if you have them and you longest lenses.

Notice how the exposure compensation changed the shutter speed. The snow looks way whiter and crisper in the last picture. Just a fun experiment.

1/6 SS, F 5.6, ISO 1600
I am learning that I need stop always opening my lens open wide. This would have been better with less depth of field and a tripod since I can't hold my camera steady. So aside from really bad focus I thought it was a cool picture. I just read that a good rule to go by for handhold you camera safely with out camera shake problems is to use the inverse of your camera lens. Example...I was using my 70-300 telephoto so I shouldn't try to handhold it past 1/300 of a second.

I wish I would have taken this in landscape and put his face in the upper left hand corner. But I really love the dramatic lighting even though half of his face is in shadow!

the aperture for this is total overkill, I just happened to snap this shot in between shots of a monster truck doing donuts...

these were really tricky...lots of adjusting between SS, Aperture and ISO to bring out some of the green in the trees and still get the sunburst...
