    Finally after many years I finally took the time to try to shoot some red-winged blackbirds. To me, shooting an animal with a camera is not much different from using a gun: you watch its patterns, behavior, etc. and stage yourself and wait. I finally came across one bird who wasn't as scared of me as the others. If I got too close, he'd move to his other preferred spot. I put myself between these two spots and tried to get some keepers.

    Some recent shots via the cell phone (LG G4) camera:

    I've been getting photo-bombed lately taking shots of flowers:

    This guy was a great subject since he wouldn't move at all after I startled him coming around the corner out of my garage:

    An eye-catching prickly pear; it helped that this one was in the shade:

    Out for a stroll along a creek and this scene caught my eye:

    The high ISO graininess works for me in this one. In the cemetery of Bruton Parish Episcopal Church in historic Williamsburg, VA:

    Thanks for that. Tried something new, and it clearly didn't work. :rolleyes:

    Bump time.

    I've had the itch lately to do some Milky Way shots. Got out last weekend, but wasn't flying solo (my oldest kid was along) so I didn't focus (pun intended) enough on what I was doing. I haven't done astrophotography in about 20 years, so I have a lot of practicing/refresher to do.

    When I have the time, I'm going to read https://www.lonelyspeck.com/how-to-process-milky-way-astrophotography-in-adobe-lightroom/ and see if I can use my Canon DPP to add some flavor to this shot (RAW converted to JPG with no processing):


    Canon full frame (5D MkII), 20-35mm f2.8 lens set to 20mm and f2.8, 34 second exposure (a bit too long [was doing the counting myself versus using a timer] according to the 500 rule [25 sec] or the 600 rule [30 sec]), ISO 1600 (really should have tried higher ISO, but didn't think of it)

    Oh, I don't care! Seems to be the thing folks do. Someone else used Pixlr to play with it.

    So, doing what I could to translate the LR steps from that article I mentioned to Canon DPP, this is what I came up with (with the starting image on the right):



    It's a bit crazier than I like, but it's a decent start to better understanding post-processing.

    And, I learned something new. I was really distracted with the green sky on the lower right, wondering what was going on there (hardware issues, light pollution, ???) but it turns out it's a natural phenomenon called air glow. In this case, it's green air glow.

    The painted lady butterflies reappeared today. Guess the rain and colder temps kept them away for a bit.
