Ha! I like Steady Stenquist, especially since I sometimes topple over these 
days. I was somewhat frustrated today by the limits a tripod imposed on my 
range when seated. So I took the camera off the tripod and bumped the shutter 
speed up to 1000th (from 1/640th) and turned on shake reduction. I took the 
stout tripod foot off, but that rig was still damn heavy for an arthritic 
geezer. But it was fun. I’ll do it again.

Re: PESOs junco and Michael

I'm lovin' the birds... Juncos are cuties and that first one is I think 
the sweetest one of the lot  but but then I saw the stellar STellar's 
Jay shots..

LIke all four but the particularly like that first one on the fence post.

A few years ago Michael Gaither did a show with my friend Michelle and really 
liked some of the photos I got of him.  He asked me to photograph him at an 
outdoor socially distanced show at a local winery last Friday.  The one 
downside was that I didn’t have a designated driver so I couldn’t really 
capitalize on the very nice wine that was available.

There was a bougainvillea off to the side of the stage that ended up making a 
very nice backdrop:

Every venue has a few interesting pitfalls that are an opportunity for 
education.  This one was lit by strings of lights, LEDs that it turns out 
flicker pretty strongly at, I’d guess 120 Hz. If you get the shutter speed 
wrong, bands of light and dark.  If you use auto exposure, and it reads the 
exposure at the wrong part of the cycle, the whole thing is way over or way 
under exposed.  If I go back, I’ll definitely bring some of my stage lights.

He had Lauren Wahl come along to do a short set with her band, and she joined 
him on stage for quite a few songs. In addition to having a wonderful voice, 
she’s one of those people who seems to get along real well with cameras.

Re: PESO It's Junco Day

Thanks Rick. Yes, 12,800 is tickling the limits of the K-1. But on a cloudy day 
with 1/1000th shutter speed that’s where the ISO goes.

Yeah, but the Michigan Pentaxes seem to be a bit sharper than the California 
ones.

Ah, thanks.  Does that mean that if I put some seed up higher I’d get more than 
just my usual juncos and Steller’s jays? 

I was scattering seeds on the ground from a combination of laziness and it 
making a nicer photographic background.
