  • Aug 15th<br /> <br /> Ok I know the one bug is a yellow jacket..The captor???<br /> Took this with the 400 and then went in to get a more suitable lens. Natch they were gone when I got back.
  • Aug 14th<br /> <br /> It's all about the tail.....<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> A few new shots in the usual galleries.
  • Aug 13th<br /> <br /> Have to keep my hand in on the 400:-) Rather mussed up House Finch. He flew fine and had his mouth full of seed so figured he got hit with water from the sprinkler.<br /> <br /> Robin<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1239814/9/87958651/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1239814/9/87958651/Large</a><br /> <br /> Don's pick which I ignored..Andrea?<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1254609/7/87958796/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1254609/7/87958796/Large</a>

  • Aug 6th<br /> <br /> Daily Squirrel, Daily Flower below. I need to get a life here.<br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1254609/9/86347834/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1254609/9/86347834/Large</a>
  • Aug 5th<br /> <br /> Not quite there yet but we're sneakin up on it.<br /> <br /> Andrea no Evil Sq children today, maybe tomorrow. Walking outside and doing the lights, camera , action thing has never worked:-)
  • Aug 4th What I've wanted to try..Young squirrels in full play mode, actually in sq world it is learning survival skills along with the play. This is a trial run, I hope to do better next time, but I wasn't ever going to know what it might take unless I gave it a go. Some issues to overcome. This is always going to happen in the worst light possible You have to get outside w/o spooking them or disrupting the event. Oh and try to get in half good position. Next time I'll up the ISO to 1600 and then I can &#43; the EC and stop down a bit, these shots need more DOF, and not tank the shutter speed..I hope. So yep noise, more motion blur than I would like etc. etc. I so enjoy watching these guys play, they are so fluid, like quicksilver, in their movement I want to capture that if I can. More below, shots are in order not in sequence..Muffed quite a few, the 1st one is the worst of the ones posted http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1254348/10/86002841/Large

    shows his very pretty markings well. I like the way the branches angle into him to focus my eyes on him. LS
