Nice collection of subjects! Thanks for sharing

Your camera equipment (which I too own) should give you many memorable captures.


Ronnie, I think I remember you mentioning in one or more of your posts that you were shooting this same equipment. I've been experimenting, trying to improve my photos and feel the equipment gives me all the tools I need to get better. I'll be watching for your postings. Looking forward to it. jak

An excellent and very enjoyable set jak! Your narratives are informative, and your photography is exemplary. The past two years have made it very difficult to for me to get out and your posts are a true motivator to get me back out into the field. I thank you for that!

rockdog, sorry you haven't been able to get out much. Hope you are finding some good reasons to get out there and stretch your creative skills again. I was lucky for over 2 years to avoid Covid-19 but came down with it in early July (about a week after I had surgery)a. Took me about 2 weeks to get over it (test Negative) but only about 3 days until my symptoms went away and I began getting out of the house (by myself) along with my camera. I'm fine now and am enjoying my photography almost every day. I wish you the best of motivation to get back out there and see what you can create. jak

Great set, the hummingbird photograph is compelling !


cedymock, your kind comments are greatly appreciated. Sometimes I take the photos but don't really get grabbed by one until I get home and see it on the computer. This hummingbird photo was one where I thought I had caught something special and was really happy with the way it turned out. I couldn't see cropping any part of that branch out without losing some of the impact. After cropping, that left me with the long, horizontal frame. Glad you liked it too. Have a creative, productive, healthy week. jak

Thank you, Sylvias. I understand you are having a warm summer in the UK. Hopefully it isn't too intolerable and you are getting opportunities to get out and take photographs. Please share some when you feel like you have some pics worth sharing. I participate with several groups in bird surveys where we walk through a specified area to find, identify and count the species that are present. This is then shared with Princeton University for scientific analysis. Most of these surveys are performed with several people in a group, which gives us several sets of eyes...and ears...for finding and ID-ing the wildlife. That gives me an opportunity to find a variety of species and if I'm lucky in capturing decent photos, I get to share them with UHHers. Take care and have a nice summer. So far, here in Southern California, we're having a relatively mild summer, knowing that our really hot season often starts in September. jak
