I love the leading lines, there are some cool stories here! Thank you for sharing these! S-

Thanks for looking and commenting, Steve. The kid is a walking photo op and I am grateful to have her to follow around.

Everyone else has said it well or better. One word: powerful.

This is my favorite egret of the season. He has a perfectly lovely green mask on his beak, but he hasn't found a mate. I think it is because of his bedraggled tail. He had spent much time alone beneath the dam last week, and since he and the other few stragglers could not get on their perches, they...

Use the ability to chimp a photo to get a feel for how the camera behaves. Don't worry about subject, composition, framing, rule of th...

I am glad Frank brought that up. I do not have a clue how to use the Program mode on my camera. I can and do use the others, but for me, Manual is so much easier because I control everything and I'm not likely to end up with a bad surprise because the camera picked something I wouldn't have picked....
