Thanks vickid for commenting on 'jet aim e'

Congrats, Vicki. Well deserved, my friend.

Thanks , Vicki for commenting on my Pelican in flight picture. They migrate through here twice a year

Thanks for commenting on my picture Coming Down. Using a DSLR I find easy its trying to shoot a picture with my I-Phone I find confusing.

For Leaving the Scene I obviously got to close for this narrow minded Heron and thanks for commenting.

Thanks for taking a look at Caught One. This Heron did not seem to be bothered by my presence

Thanks for the fave of "Life In The Clouds", Vicki. I appreciate it.

Hey Vicki
I often compare my photography to fishing but with a camera not a pole. I have about a half a dozen spots less than 30 minutes from the house that most of my pictures come from. I have learned over time depending on season, weather and rain fall when certain spots are going to be more active. As for the Osprey I was shooting gulls fishing that day and just happened to look up and saw the Osprey. Luckily I had the right camera setup and fired a quick burst. Air Delivery was one of the pictures from that burst.

Well Vicki 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.

Thanks for viewing and commenting on the picture Eye To Eye. These little flies typically land on the ugliest reed in the pond so finding 2 on a water lily was worth a shot.

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.

Thanks for the commenting on See Through Wing. I was kind of surprised to see this Pelican right above me and even more surprised that the picture turned out.

Thanks for taking the time to comment on Close Fly By. I think we are supposed to get a nice day tomorrow so I�m planning a photo outing and it will include a trip to the river.

I really appreciate your saving Stalkers Vicki.
It is very kind of you.

Both of the butterfly shots I posted were done with a Pentax K1 camera with a Pentax 100mm macro lens and Pentax macro ring flash. Thanks for commenting

Thanks Vicki for the comments on my Gull trilogy. Just another day at Saylorville Dam.

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 stopping by and commenting on Community Pond. This shot from Jester Park was about all I captured on this relatively fruitless photo outing.

I didn�t go up in this one but I did have the opportunity to get inside and checkout all the different crew positions. There are probably some pictures of the inside some ware on my hard drive. Thanks for looking.
