Gentle Persuasion
Uploaded: 10/25/10 7:44 PM GMT
I was returning from my Grandson's flag football game yesterday when I saw a scene I thought looked interesting. There was a grove of trees with their fall coloring, a field of green winter wheat and a clouded sky with sun rays fighting their way through. I stopped and got set to take the photo when this buggy with the two Amish boys popped up from over the rise. I was so surprised, I almost forgot to take a photo. I only got one. We traded greetings and they were gone. Enjoy.

Thanks for commenting on my Pelican picture, as for the Sigma 150-600 I found it used at the local camera shop last fall and only started using it. It�s heavy but seems to shoot well on both my crop and full frame Canon bodies.

Yea Ron I was shooting just below Saylorville Dam on the Des Moines river. The lake was at flood stage and they had the gate wide open letting water out. It makes for a lot of foam on the water but that is where the birds are fishing.

Thanks Ron
I'm still testing it out on both full frame and crop body cameras and have even tried using a 1.4x converter with it. The image quality with the converter isn't to bad but the autofocus hunts a lot especially on my crop body. I will post a picture I shot with the converter using the Canon 7dII that gives a field of view of 1,344mm.

If I remember correctly I used a Canon 100-400mm zoom with the 1.4x converter and a flash for that capture.

Shooting below Saylorville dam is about like fishing, just camp out and wait for something to appear.

For Catch One I was able to stay far enough away from the Heron that it went about its business of catching fish and not just watching me.

Silky Water is just to prove I do take long lenses off of the cameras from time to time.

Thanks for commenting on Air Delivery. I saw my first hummer so I guess that means the birds are back but some of them are still a little tattered.

Well Ron Sushi Snack is proof the best camera is the one you have. I was shooting Dragon Flies and didn�t have the right camera or setup for this shot.

For the photo Stamen I used a Pentax 300mm lens. A few years ago most of my photography was macro with macro lenses but now it is mostly long lenses.

Flower Time is another example of using a long lens instead of a macro lens for a little different look. Equipment used for this shot was a Pentax K3 II with a 300mm lens.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on the picture Monarch
This 560mm images dark background was created by closing the aperture down to F-13 and using a flash to light the insect.

Thanks for the comments on my picture Bow Wing. If I happen to catch a group of these Herons fishing the shoot is pretty easy. Its more about where to set up for the best lighting and setting up the cameras autofocus system to best match the conditions.

The setup I used for Blujay do to its weight rarely makes it out of the closet. The camera, lens and converter weight in at about 15 lbs. so unless Iam setting up in a bird blind or shooting gulls fishing on the river using a tripod its been replaced by the 150-600 Sigma. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for commenting on Arrow. My favorite spot for shooting the Des Moines River is high on the bank looking down on the water using a large telephoto lens.

Thanks for the comments on Honey Maker. The main advantage in using a telephoto for a macro is the greater working distance to the subject, handy for bees and skittish insects like dragon flies. The downside is it is a heavier setup to pack around.

Thanks for the comments on A Touch Of Yellow. By using a fast shutter speed 1-640th and a small aperture F-10 the flash had enough power to light the flower but everything behind the flower became extremely under exposed or black.

Thanks for taking a look at my picture B17-G. My wife�s father was a copilot in a B17 in WW2 and was shot down on their 3rd mission. A few years ago we were contacted by a gentleman in the Netherlands saying that they had found his plane in the Zuiderzee and inquiring if any of the crew were still alive. My mother in law had me send him all the information she had on the incident and the crew. And yes the Belle was a 17

Hello Ron, thanks for your support on Sculpture... I am not certain why so many ancient sculptures have been damaged... heads, arms, legs, etc. Some may be from where they were located and withstood damage from their location, or again, sadly, when Greece was invaded in the past, there was damage from the invaders. Sad, but again, there is so much we have been able to view and appreciate.

Hi Tick,
Macedonia and Albania have parts of the Lake Ohrid, but the Macedonian part is much bigger. We enter in Albania via Saint Naum and to the first village, Tushemisht are only 8 kilometers. The other way is via Struga, the other side, which is 22 kilometers to the first village Lin. My first photo was in Saint Naum, and this one is in Albania before Lin. I hope you understood me. Have a great weekend.
Best wishes
