One of the beautiful birds that I photographed in Florida was the Red Spoonbill. Here in flight, I used a shutter speed of 2000 and a center weighted autofocus.
With no wind and controlled light from the sun using a translucent disk, I shot a single image at F22.
The above image of the Stage of the home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was photographed with three shots on a small point and shoot, hand held camera.
These tulips had to have green grass behind them. The black really was distracting.
I am still into Spring flowers with the color "yellow". Here is an image made from 7 images all shot at different focus points to increase the depth of field and sharpness.
I am working on the color yellow this week, so I am working on my skills with macro photography. I shot three images each of a different focus and then combined them in CS4 for a better depth of field.
With snow on the ground and the car that set out last night, I needed more sights of Spring. I also wanted some flowers with the color yellow for our Camera Club's assignment, so off to Home Depot for a set of Tulips that were already in bloom. I used a 180 Macro lens and a Macro dual light attached to the lens. This was my first attempt.
This was from Monday's trip to the Everglades National Park with photographer, Michael Rosenbaum. Michael specializes in "Birds in Flight". These three Spoonbills were eating and were a long way from the shore where I was standing. No tripod and handheld. I did a lot of cropping to get this image for the blog.
