Alright, it is Free Sunday once again. Thanks and accolades go to HardworkingGal and Photogirl17 for this past weeks challenges. The 3r’s and Nines made me think a little more about what and how I shoot. Come on by and share anything new you’ve learned about you camera, your post processing, or anything you’ve shot recently you would like to share for our pleasure. Even any leftovers from any of the challenges we’ve had recently.

I’m in Austin with family so this will be short and sweet. I know you guys will keep it going.

Old “Sweet Tooth” has been back almost daily since we first noticed him.

I tried out a Vello ShutterBoss remote Bluetooth trigger on my Nikon D850, with a tripod, shooting hummingbirds.

My results were actually better shooting handheld and getting as close as the "flying Walendas" would let me.

Pg 1 - These are great, Jim!

What lens were you using, and how close could you get?

Hi Tim,
I was using a AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR Lens. I ended up shooting these handheld in order to get optimal position. Most shots I was 6-10' away. The photos were cropped quite a bit.

Love your spider pics!

I took this grasshopper photo a couple of weeks ago with a new (used) Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 macro G lens.

Your welcome. Your not alone with the arachnophobia! I detest spiders. Ugh. They have a purpose obviously, but just stay away from my house. I do like the mantis family. They are just as mean though.

Looks like a very nice venue and the tables look great! The photo booth is always so much fun!
