So glad you had such a wonderful time, Larry. I've always wanted to go there and at least I can say I had a virtual trip. It's been a snowy, rainy weird week but I have a couple.
Nice Pat like that first one.

I had to go to one of the bird sites to find out what type this is. It is a loggerhead Shriek . The bird catches its prey, then impales it on a thorn or stick and even barbed wire, Then comes back later and eats it when it is hungry. Mother nature can be strange for sure
Nice shot bdk - thanks for info.

I did some planned shots Wednesday afternoon at our church with the new 70-200 lens. I'm rather disappointed with Chloe's picture as try as I might I couldn't get a sharp focus on her face. I think it is because there wasn't enough contrast. I'm happy with the other two images and with this lens overall.
Nice ones Sue, interesting one of Cloe though. May I ask what focal length was set. To me everything is little fuzzy, maybe motion blur??

Dear SueScott...I love your concept of Chloe reading the Bible under candlelight. Having experienced the very same problem as your inability to get a sharp focus on her face in low light, made me wonder two things,
#1- When you take advantage of trying that same concept again, is there any way that you could add additional soft constant lighting only on her face, like portrait photographers use called a tube light. A used old oatmeal tube with a light bulb behind it, held by a friend assisting you, standing just out of frame will work. You could leave the candle in place implying that is the lighting, and still allow you to achieve a much better sharp focus?
#2- Can you choose to have your camera on a tripod so that you can arrange everything just like you want, before gently pressing the shutter having eliminated any possibility of camera shake?
I predict you will have created the same crisp image as the beautiful stained glass church window ypu captured, as well as an excellent image that not only pleases Chloe, but also tells quite a story that you can share with your family and friends at your church You do very nice photography work!

Here it is again, it’s Free Sunday. Come and share any of your left overs from last week or any new shots you’re really pleased with. We’re all of a nature to enjoy your successes whether the be as captured or worked and tweaked in post processing. I especially like when you share a little thing you may have learned in your post processing activities.
Coming out of the South end of Yellowstone NP on our way to Jackson Hole, WY we were awed by the grandeur of the Grand Teton range. Dee just told me Plessner had posted on face book that the Teton NP is celebrating an anniversary day this past week. Makes this post even more special to me.

Tripod or monopod may help, also manual focus, love the stained glass window Sue
