This is a photo that I took in June of a Dragonly in the backyard of my mother-in-law’s house. I did no editing to the photo. It’s shot at ISO 400, F8, 1/640 sec. The detail on the larger version of this one was amazing to me as I was only beginning to learn how to use the camera. I know it’s a few months old now, but, I fully intend to use this photo blog on a regular basis now so this is the first in a line of several photos I’ll be adding.

It’s been some time since I’ve gotten a post up – been quite busy at work and wanted to make this site look a little better. Anyway, we went to the circus at Phillips Arena in February and I was pleasantly surprised by the circus. It really was an excellent production. Below are the best of the shots that I got. It was quite dark in the arena and this was my first run at a darker environment with higher ISO like 1600 and 3200. Enjoy…

Or at least what I think he is called. He was sitting outside of my garage on a tulip magnolia the other morning. In fact, there were 2, but, by the time I could get my camera out, change lenses and get upstairs, one had gone. This picture is shot from an upstairs window – a dirty one I might add at a downward angle and to the right. Not quite an easy shot through blinds and on a cloudy morning. I went for a walk later that morning to find him again and found 4, but, too far away to get any pictures.
