Mom4squirrels > RED SHOULDERED HAWK October 1, 2006 I heard a soft squawking in the trees in the backyard today and I was sure it was the blue jays mimicking the hawks again. Just in case I went in to get my camera and went looking in the trees...there he was! Oh, and I hand held the 400! Did better with 800 ISO,so it is pretty steady (for me). Can't wait for my 30D to come on Tuesday! (Thusie convinced me that I needed one for stability, speed and better focusing!)
Mom4squirrels > SEPTEMBER 30 PSYCHO-DILLIC HERB
Mom4squirrels > SEPTEMBER 29TH PICTURE YOURSELF IN A JOHN DEERE This actually took a while to achieve. Either the light was off or the angle wasn't good. I actually knelt there, focused then moved the camera so you could see my face...geeze....what I won't do for DP! Ok, so I have been cooped up in my house too long...Got a little corny... see gallery for photo #2 http://mom4squirrels.smugmug.com/gallery/1775470/1/98808796
Mom4squirrels > SPLENDER IN THE GRASS 9/28 I'm not an ornamental grass person, but these caught my eye! The reds, greens, even lavenders were just breathtakingly beautiful blowing in the wind. The larger the image, the better they look!
Mom4squirrels > FEMALE MANTIS GIVING DIRECTIONS?? (The two PM photos are best viewed in the large format to see their detail)To me, this female is saying " Dawling, if you cross over the street here, then turn right, you'll be at the Chocolate factory in no time." ;-)
Mom4squirrels > THE COLORS OF FALL This is one I'm really proud of. First of all it was taken through a window. 2) The window had protective bird netting in front of it to prevent crashes, 3) All I did to it was sharpen and darken it slightly, and BOOM..there were those brilliant colors once again! (I took several shots, avoiding the wood cross piece of the window frame and the on and off sun glare. Oh, and I had held it as well! I plan to return as the leaves and foliage change into more color.) Here are a few of the others...though they come out MUCH lighter on SM??? http://mom4squirrels.smugmug.com/gallery/1855637/1
Mom4squirrels > FOUNTAIN BUBBLES We went for a much needed ride today and found lots of things to take pictures of...(more to come in DP later). These were the bubbles from a fountain. View them in Large if you can... They caught the reflection of the blue sky and I love the ripples as well...Had a blast today with my 200mm!
Mom4squirrels > CAUGHT RED-HANDED This is a red squirrel, sometimes known as a pine squirrel (because they tend to live in pine forests). This is a female who has 3 babies that have just started coming to the feeder late in the afternoon. I took my chances on the heavy overcast, late afternoon photo opportunity to catch her in action as she takes her share of the peanuts. Hopefully I'll get some shots of the babies for you soon too. Reds are very skiddish and aggressive towards other squirrels...small but mighty.
Mom4squirrels > THE HONEYBEE AND THE ANEMONE Yet another rainy day in Ohio. The lighting conditions were poor and I decided to try out the 70-200 with my 1.4 converter, no less. My results exceeded my expectations and this is one of two that I really liked. ( # 2 is listed below ) There is too much noise in the background because of the low light, but I liked this picture anyway...plus it's my husband's choice of the day :-) http://mom4squirrels.smugmug.com/gallery/1855637/1/97363567
