Two very nice shots Jerry.
I know a JRT, pound for pound might be the toughest canine around, but out there with a raptor, didn't you get a little nervous?

An explosion of colors, a venerable monument, and a bright, blue morning ...... a photographer's delight.
Yup, nice shot and I like how you timed the side lighting to bring out the shadows and detail of the sculpture.

Certainly at extreme temperatures that would be the case. I went to a lecture about photographing the northern lights and the instructor did say that one should establish infinity and put tape on the lens. But routinely, I doubt it. If, in my case Nikon, was being graciously wonderful with the kit lens, why then, with the prime lenses is there still manual focus and distances marked on the lens, including infinity?
I can't argue with anything you're saying, but in my mostly newbie experience an infinity stop has been a liability instead of a plus. I have shot stars in temps from 0°f to 90°ish and 10x live view is the only way I am successful with.
Obviously this may just be me, but I'm workin on it.

The reason I ussually read is that temp differences make this inaccurate. I can't verify this, but on a recent trip west I was trying to shoot Yosemite falls in the moonlight and my minolta af 50mm f1.4 hit the infinity stop before I could turn the stars into pinpoints. For this shot I would have preferred a lens without the stop.

Nice colors and shots. 2 & 3 look like the may be poison ivy.

Ever been to Charlotte, Mi. to the L.L. Johnson lumber store? I’m about 45 miles from there and make it on occasion. Nice selection of Woods.
All the time, nice place, tons of choices.
And only ten minutes away.

I'm lucky we have 4 quality hardwood lumber suppliers close to home, they all stock curly maple and other nice furniture and tonewoods. Lotsa tropical and other exotics too.
Can't seem to find any walnut or cherry burl though.

Mark, I've enjoyed this series of photos and the relating info. Looking forward to what's left.
I've heard of doodle bugs a lot but didn't know they were ant lions.

I have a "Realtree pro series" that the battery wire got severed on.
The pictures were pretty high quality for a trail cam.
I now use a Stealthcam STC-PX86NG, pics aren't nearly as good though.

Avoid variable ND filters. They are more likely to alter the colors and will sometimes create a cross effect. I have a 3-stop and a 4-stop Hoya that I use. Those are dark enough for anything I need to do.
Not disagreeing with your assessment, but dang, that is a pretty cool photo.
