Thanks! Believe me, it took a hundred tries sitting by flower pots. Very rarely are the bug and flower the same distance from your lens when you click, which usually results in an in-focus flower and a blob. I have lots of those lol.

 

Lol, always seems to be how it goes

 

White heron

 

Bumblebee - playing around with monochrome. I like how the textures came out. A little fuzzy on here. though.

 

Great golden digger wasp, I think

 

Chicory. I like this color blue.

 

I see we're doing bugs today? (Love the chicory, too, I'm trying to grow some this year!)

 

Nice shot! I like the fern texture in this one. I like to do bugs because they're generally still or slow, and they can make interesting photos. I spent a bit of time this summer with my newer camera trying to catch bees in flight. Got a few interesting shots.

What bird is that?

 

I put that pic into goodie search, it comes back purple finch

 

One from last fall. Galaxy S22

 

Buffleheads are some of my favorite ducks!

One time though, I did see one get hunted down and killed by a Peregrine Falcon... and then it was stolen by a pair of Black Backed Gulls... and then a full grown adult Bald Eagle stole it. Nature you scary!

My wife got me this for Christmas. Hard to imagine that this small box was $6000 plus or minus a few bucks. I have had a Nikon D4 for about 12 years and used the hell out of it. This new z9 with the FZ 11 adapter allows me to use all my old lenses without any image quality loss. I couldn’t afford to replace all my lenses.

 

Nice, and congratulations! Are we gonna see pics soon?

 

Once I figure out how to take pics and download them, I’ll post some.

 

Best of luck with your new Z9

 

George Washington National Forest. There's a rock wall here a couple guys were about to climb. They had chalk bags and everyyhing.

 

I caught my Brown Trout just down to the left. In that hole. Rocks were slick!

These may not be as pretty as snow in the mountains or overlooking some scenic lake, but I took these last week when visiting my favorite place in the entire world -- Oxford, Mississippi. The nearby lake built by the Army Corp of Engineers long ago is WAY down. Most of the area I was at usually is covered in a several feet of water. But this shows how much the water was down:




Then went and caught the sunset at the Ole Miss campus atop of a parking garage:






Locally called "the doorknob to the universe"





And finally a walk around the historical town square in Oxford. When Christmas season comes, it's called a "snowglobe town."

 

Ole Miss alum here - class of 2008. Love seeing photos of The Square and University. #HottyToddy #GeauxtoHellLSU
