We like to put suet out for the woodpeckers and their many carnivorous cousins. Keeps the view out the kitchen window interesting.<br /><br />Spring must be getting close, because that feeder is now getting cleaned out by these other cute, red-headed songbirds. Some sort of nuthatch or wren, I think. More signs of spring where you live? Share!<br> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 <p>Speaking of flying things, I was shooting at a client's place Tuesday morning, and needed to get some high-angle shots of an interesting new piece of his inventory. I brought along the big hexa-drone, as well as the smaller quadcopter for backup. Here's those two machines and their associated ground station hardware piled onto the back of a truck bed while I set up and waited for the light to be right.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryAmmerman Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 <p>It's finally warmed up a bit, but I haven't been able to get out and shoot anything yet. During the cold weather last week I took a break from working on an old Yashica rangefinder and snapped a few pics of the inner workings. Just playing around really. All shots were taken with a D600, 55/3.5 Micro, and PK-13 extension tube.<br> #1<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17705927-md.jpg" alt="DSC_1416" width="680" height="453" border="0" /></p> <p>#2<br> <img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17705929-md.jpg" alt="DSC_1430" width="680" height="453" border="0" /><br> #3</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/17705928-md.jpg" alt="DSC_1428" width="680" height="453" border="0" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edwin Barkdoll Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 <p>I used to work rehabbing wildlife; those cute red-headed nuthatches have a nasty habit of regurgitating their last meal (usually something fetid) onto whoever is bothering them. I've never seen one at a backyard feeder - I hesitate to ask what you place in your feeders!</p> <p>They say a moon ring presages a storm. Shot this last night. Storm is forecast for tomorrow. Hopefully the last of winter.</p><div></div> Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ed_hazera3 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 <p> Its been a very long, cold winter here in Long Island, New York.<br> Yesterday, Mother Nature decided to break the ice, with an nice warm day, so I took the opportunity to visit the local duck pond to see how my "friends" were doing.<br> I managed to capture a solo duck in action.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillips Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 <p>I got a chance Saturday to use my new 80-400 mm Nikon lens. I shot 3 rugby matches that my grandsons participated in over a 2/12 hour period. The auto focus with the lens and the D800 was great. Thank goodness I used a monopod; the combination is really heavy.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnfarrar Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 <p>How not to take a macro. Take an old, fast lens, put it on tubes, use wide open. Soft, especially at the edges; vignette; and somewhat dreamy.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
