Well done, Rick. I also have an FA 80-320 - IMHO quite an under-rated lens. I "upgraded" to an HD 55-300 a few years ago but often wonder why, although the 55 make it a little more versatile. Alan C On 25-Apr-22 10:20 PM, Rick Womer wrote: We have a red maple in front of our house, whose

Wonderful! I like the composition, the patterns and the textures portrayed, plus the pleasing colors. Is this a dead or dying branch? The Red Cedars I have seen, including the ones on my property, have reddish-brown bark, but green needles. In any event, this one is most pleasing in its tone.

Likewise. You produce great work and ably handle a lens that men half your age — or mine — are loathe to even pick up. Paul > On May 20, 2018, at 10:08 PM, Jack Davis wrote: > > Best of luck with whatever level of > photographic success you consider satisfying, Paul. >

Best of luck with whatever level of photographic success you consider satisfying, Paul. Enjoy! J Sent from my iPhone > On May 20, 2018, at 6:40 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > I come from the photojournalism side, so my goal has always been to tell a > story.

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

I come from the photojournalism side, so my goal has always been to tell a story. Sometimes that’s about textbook definition. At other times it’s about motion, speed, or the environment. Often it’s just about beauty and good times. Paul > On May 20, 2018, at 9:32 PM, Jack Davis

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

My primary intent is to have a clear absolutely solid image with no part of the bird soft. Very satisfying to accomplish. J Sent from my iPhone > On May 20, 2018, at 6:14 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > I’ve shot many birds against the sky. I prefer to shoot them

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

I’ve shot many birds against the sky. I prefer to shoot them perching. I fully understand exposure. Paul > On May 20, 2018, at 8:16 PM, Jack Davis wrote: > > If you shoot "straight" up at any color > bird in a bright sky, plan on a silhouette. > It's about good light and

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

If you shoot "straight" up at any color bird in a bright sky, plan on a silhouette. It's about good light and keeping track of the angles. Yes, it will take staying aware and practice. Hope you give it a try, Paul. J Sent from my iPhone > On May 20, 2018, at 4:44 PM, Paul Stenquist

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

I always use TAV and select the app and shutter speed I want. Shooting skyward without exposure comp, anything other than a white bird ends up underexposed. If one dials in ISO 1250 and bumps the exposure two stops in rendering, the net result is ISO 5000. So I figure Im better off going for a

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

I set a 1250 ISO and actually get a good number with decent lighting. Of course I'm shooting skyward much of the time. J Sent from my iPhone > On May 20, 2018, at 1:41 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > I wasn’t panning, but I was shooting off a tripod, and he had just

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

I wasn’t panning, but I was shooting off a tripod, and he had just launched from the suet cage. I rarely have enough light for 1/2000th at f8. But I do sometimes go there when shooting hand held, which is rare these days. Paul > On May 20, 2018, at 4:32 PM, Jack Davis

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

Thanks, Paul. I use a 2000 to 2500 shutter. Your panning helped for sure. J Sent from my iPhone > On May 20, 2018, at 11:47 AM, Paul Stenquist wrote: > > This was 1/640th. I wasn’t planning an in flight shot. Normally I go with > 1/1000th. > > Paul > >> On May 20,

Suet with peanuts embedded. Hang it in a duet cage. Most stores that have wild bird seed will have suet cakes. Lowes has them, probably Home Depot as well. Paul > On May 20, 2018, at 2:57 PM, Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > > I just saw a Pileated Woodpecker in my back yard.

Re: PESO Red Breasted Flier

I just saw a Pileated Woodpecker in my back yard. First sighting here in years. Of course, just as I was tying to slip quietly away to grab my camera, it flew off into the woods. I have been hearing a "different" woodpecker in the woods over the past couple of weeks, but I never suspected it
