Dec 10th

Late yesterday went to practice BIF shots, Vandana has her geese, I use gulls:-) Nothing special here except it looks like a much nicer place that is really is.

Rather liked this, need to work on EC for late day shooting.

  • Dec 31st<br /> <br /> Have a safe and fun New Years eve. Best wishs, with lots of love, heath and happiness, money doesn't hurt either..In the New Year.<br /> <br /> Just think of this as a conifers impersonation of a fireworks display:-)
  • Dec 30th<br /> <br /> Ducks outa water.<br /> <br /> Boring but I like it:-)<br /> <br /> 3 more duckie shots<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/7/119886552/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/7/119886552/Large</a>
  • Dec 29th<br /> <br /> Up close and personal. Actually a crop:-)<br /> <br /> BJ shot Don liked but I lopped off some body parts.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028729/8/119785224/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028729/8/119785224/Large</a>
  • Dec 28th<br /> <br /> Ok not the best BIF shot, but it is a kingfisher in flight, I'll take it!<br /> <br /> New gallery with just WL (wetlands) shots and more kingfisher. I actually got a good shot of him setting on a wire.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2287384">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2287384</a>
  • Dec 26th<br /> <br /> Now back to our regularly scheduled program..<br /> <br /> Mallard pair on a muskrat den.<br /> <br /> I was told last summer we had a wetlands in the village. Knowing our village I figured a mud puddle and a couple cat tails. Oh how wrong could I have been?! Not large but it is protected and extremely nice.
  • Dec 25th<br /> <br /> Mom's pound pup Sox
  • Dec 24th,<br /> <br /> Should have been up last night.
  • Dec 23th.<br /> <br /> Wishing you all the very best!
  • Dec 21st<br /> <br /> A bit different and Don liked it.
  • Dec 20th<br /> <br /> Frost on the Boulevard
  • Dec 19th<br /> <br /> Just a couple geese, they do look rather graceful:-)<br /> <br /> Rather liked this one (below) too.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/6/117923552/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/6/117923552/Large</a>
  • Dec 18th<br /> <br /> Ornamental grass in evening light.<br /> As a few of you know I'm having some off and on equipment issues, posting may be spotty for a few days.
  • Dec 16th<br /> <br /> Driving around looking for what ever, Don says 'deer always come out of that woods about dusk'. As if by magic there they were:-)<br /> These guys were about 200-250 yards out so a real stretch, shutter was 1/80. Luck is a wonderful thing.
  • Dec 15th<br /> <br /> Like this shot, maybe just because I like the houses. Both are the style one would see more in NO, tall and narrow with balconies on both floors, tall narrow windows. Really cool. Why they are built where they are is just nuts.<br /> <br /> Did actually get a shot of a sq in motion that didn't blur, which I like.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/10/117093449/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/10/117093449/Large</a>
  • Dec 14th<br /> <br /> For being such good little models I thought a family portrait would be nice:-) Yea more gull shots yeasterday.
  • Dec. 13th<br /> <br /> Not great but I'll take it. Sometimes just getting the EC dialed in right makes my day:-)
  • Dec 11th<br /> <br /> More BIF practice. Don's fav so it gets the call.<br /> <br /> More 'correct shot' no clipped wing tips:-)<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/6/116278912">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/2028713/6/116278912</a>

    This picture takes me to the beach. I can hear the waves pounding against the rocks and water inching its way on the shore. Oh, I almost forgot, the BIF is FABULOUS!!!

    Yes it is Buckeye Lake aka the stinking swamp:-) The what the shot looks like but isn't is about the only reason I liked it:-) On my out there now, Don will have a hissy when he gets home and finds out, but it is a super BIF practice place.

    It does look like a nice place in the photo and indeed like an ocean shot. It also looks cold! I like the middle gull doing yoga.

    I like Gulls. How big is this body of water? Is it Buckeye Lake? You have made it look like the ocean here except for the ice.

    nice area and all! EC for late day, well in this area it can be lighter out and more contrasty than mid day with our intense sun effect. After the sun sets.........it uh, just gets darker. So, maybe pretend it is a late afternoon. look at the LCD, with the sun down it is easier. Etc. Nice photo here, though. nice, ginger
