Blue Jays are viciously protective animals!!! I recall a young boy, perhaps 6, got too close to the nest and the Blue Jay chased him for quite a distance dive-bombing and pecking his head. WolfMark, your photo sharply shows a defiant stance of the head... looking eye to eye with the camera.
Yeah they're tough cookies indeed.

I was photographing the waning gibbous moon recently when suddenly a commuter jet coming in for a landing appeared.

Yes, if I was shooting professionally I would need bigger gear. As I'm retired now and doing this for fun and exploration, and just shooting small table top subjects, what I have is working just fine.

Working without modeling lights is part of the challenge and the fun.

Note that the shadows are much shorter than yesterday's shot. The light source was much higher.

This studio shot is a similar setup to the one I posted yesterday. Flat tabletop on yellow poster board (seamless paper would have been smoother but I didn't have that color on hand). I put a horizontal extender on my Manfroto tripod and shot directly down. One light source, a Sunpak speedlight at 1/2 power at top left. I shot this with a Nikon D7100 with a 17-55mm lens at 24mm to get in all of the objects. 1/200 sec at f/16.

Thanks for asking. This was really an incredibly simple shot. I laid and arranged the glasses on bright orange poster board on a flat table top. I used only one light source, a Sunpak speedlight at 1/4 power at top left. I shot this with a Nikon D7100 with a 17-55mm lens at 20mm to get in all of the objects. 1/200 sec at f/16. Hope that helps.

Studio glassware shot with one single source speedlight.

As I lifetime student of light (I'm pushing 70), I would be very interested in learning as much more as I can. YES!

Ok, I had to google Flemish Still Life Paintings to see where this is at. I would say you did a great job. The items look sort of haphazardly placed, but again, comparing them with some of the models you're certainly in the ballpark. I wouldn't have the patience to compose all of that. I agree that a darker background would be helpful, and also perhaps lightening up on the subject. Good job.

Great shot. Try doing this one in light sepia
Why?

Cool, your conversion is much newer than mine. When mine was done you had one choice!!!
Yes, this was just a little over a year ago.

What camera? I'm guessing your camera has an I/R setting.
I had a D70 converted to I/R by Lifepixil, I set a custom white balance using brightly lit grass as a reference.

That's exactly what I did. I sent in a d5100 to LifePixel and had it converted to 590nm so I could have the option of shooting in color. I generally prefer bw for infrared and easily make that conversion with PS.
