Thank you for the comments. I enjoy shooting with film - though it certainly forces me to think about what I am doing a lot more than when shooting digital. I am trying to get the old 1/3 decent pictures ratio, which means that I will probably be shooting a lot of street type photography in black an...

I went on a buying binge (sort of) over the last few months - film cameras (manual focus Minoltas) and lenses. Finally started using some of them in the last few months. Some pictures.

I usually go to Huntley Meadows Park in suburban Alexandria, Virginia for some birding. This day though, was not for the birds. 1. Yellow, Isolated https://media.joomeo.com/large/59bcdfc46d2de.jpg 2. The Green Hornet? https://media.joomeo.com/large/59bce3339488d.jpg 3. Web Swinger https://media.joom...

Nice shots and the last one is very interesting. Dancing lead miners? I would not have thought about that.

Thank you for the comments. It was a very different experience taking pictures of flowers in the rain.

Thank you for the complement. It was raining off and on but it was an opportunity to go around the garden undisturbed. There was a wedding reception going on in the banquet/reception building adjacent to the garden's visitors center. It didn't clear up soon enough for the wedding party to go outside...

Spent a few hours at Meadowlark Gardens in Vienna, Virginia. Here are some pictures. 1. Soaked https://media.joomeo.com/large/59abb1ada8d0e.jpg 2. The Fly https://media.joomeo.com/large/59abb21494a21.jpg 3. The Flower in the Droplet https://media.joomeo.com/large/59abb25c93659.jpg Every time I go to...

I've been amiss with posting images here and it seems the old ones that I posted have been lost in the photobucket. I purchased a Sony 90mm macro and I absolutely love this lens. I go to Meadowlark Gardens fully intending to use other lenses, but the 90mm macro just makes me want to explore the smal...

I pray that your body and soul are refreshed in the coming days.

I kind of oversharpened the last two images (for effect). I used the Tamron 150-600 for these images.

It did not end well for the frog. 1. Dissection http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn319/wmllamas/va%202016g/DSC03185_s_zpsnx6lw7lt.jpg 2.

Saturday was a good day at Huntley Meadows 1. The Watcher http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn319/wmllamas/va%202016g/DSC03368_s_zpsrg9sd72b.jpg 2.

My friend and I were at Huntley Meadows last Saturday and he came upon a guy who was excitedly calling a friend about a dragon fly larva climbing up a piece of wood and undergoing a transformation. After taking some pictures of a turtle and a frog (it wasn't pretty), I came upon the scene and stayed...

Nice early morning pictures!

Thank you for the comments. Images 1 and 3 were taken with an old Minolta 50mm MC Rokkor macro on an A6000.
