Birds & Street Photography.

As I walked out to my car the other morning I saw a couple of dozen Bohemian Waxwings feeding in my flowering crab tree. As is quite common I had the incorrect lens on my camera so I had to change out my 24 - 70mm lens to my 70 - 200mm with 1.7X teleconverter. Once that was done I stood behind my car door and snapped away.

The other images were taken the past couple of weeks.

Self Portraits and Other Stuff.

Here are a few images I have been working on lately. Three are panoramic with plenty of resolution for zooming in for a closer look. The last two are of me making a couple of low key self portraits for a club competition.

Playing with flash.

I had a chance on Sunday to play with a couple of my flashes. I started with a more or less high contrast photo and then went for a couple of low key ideas. Here is my progression in no particular order. Not perfect because practicing seldom is.

 

Brent turned the tables on me and snapped this photo of me taking a break.
