Greetings scallihan. I see we are neighbors. We bought our first home in Tigard, on Pfaffle street and are now residing in beautiful downtown Beaverton. Thanks very much for your glowing review and very kind words. I have
been told I should enter my Dahlia images into the Swan Island Dahlia contest each year and I should go ahead and
do just that. Many thanks and appreciate your saying hello.

Here in the PNW, we got a bit darker, like a heavier cloud passing over. So I watched it on T.V. Posting just for giggles.
I look forward to the great images I know are coming!

I was using a 400 2.8 lens with a rear mount filter slide. The huge 4 inch+ front filter mount was damaged on the barrowed lens I was using. As I recall the darkest rear mount filter I could find was an 8 stop. Since I used a 2x converter it allowed an exposure of 1/8000 at f22. My Mark3 camera suffered no damage. The converter made the difference. See samples
Nice crisp image!

A fine set of images of peonies and you're right about susceptible to the whims of weathers. No 1 and 7 are my faves. Also, not an ant to be seen anywhere.
I put ant baits around my peonies and never get ants on the flowers.

Reinforces why I do not use smart phones .....but, thanks for sharing !
Kind of a nasty comment, there Imagemaster. Smartphones are fine for people who just want to capture their travels for the memories, not to blow up and show in juried galleries or shows. This is a lovely image, one Fred will cherish as the trip was on his bucket list.

That's a stunner! I have never seen a dahlia that brilliant yellow, and I've seen LOTS of dahlias. There is a large dahlia farm not too far from me, and I go every year. My husband and I planted 13 dahlias one year, tended them wisely, and by year three we had 65 viable tubers. We were literally giving them away!

My mom's bush looked like the first one. It's over 75 years old and doesn't bloom any more. Your's are lovely.
But you still get to enjoy the lovely foliage!

Regular ND filters DO NOT cut the IR &UV that damage eyes and sensors.
You need a solar filter meant for viewing/ photographing the sun

YES! This has been covered extensively in many news reports on how to safely view/photograph the eclipse. I've seen recommendations for Ultradark ND filters (15-stop and 20-stop), but if the filter you are using is not rated for solar imaging, I expect you'll toast your lens and sensor. I see many cell phone camera burnt out sensors tomorrow.

Great images. That last one appears to be actively building his web.

My fave flower. I especially like the last one. Sad the bloom season is so short. I have a patch in the backyard that us coming up nicely, and I just planted a few more in front, so between the two I'll get to enjoy peonies for an additional month.

Beautiful images. I especially love #3. Here's looking at you, kid!
