Lookin' good, Bret. What is the technical info for this shot?


Believe it or not, that is a one second exposure @ f/22, ISO 100.

I depended on the flash to freeze the bird.


THAT'S where I've been going wrong! I've been using the fridge to freeze
the animals! They certainly stay still long enough for me to get my
shot. But it's rough when a customer wants a good photo of an elephant.
They keep getting their footprints in the cheesecake!! Really nice
photo of this bird, Bret. What was the lens to subject distance?

About two feet. This one was taken a few minutes ago from about 1 foot away.

LOL! It must be nice to be able to pay your models sugar water. I have
to pay peanuts and bananas! http://www.photoenvisions.com/Baby5.jpg

Hey, I get paid peanuts. Does that make me an elephant?

I wish my subjects moved that slowly. However, I do like the challenge of
capturing fast moving animals like hummingbirds and bees.

You want a tougher challenge than shooting elephants? Try catching a wasp in
mid air!

I would have had plenty of opportunities this afternoon as I commenced
knocking a wasp nest out of my dwarf Alberta spruce. Normally I leave
wasps alone, but this tree is RIGHT NEXT to my walkway and is easily
bumped by the dog or myself. The wasps were not pleased and I wasn't
going to stick around to argue with them about it.

Wasps? No problem. http://www.photoenvisions.com/WASPS.jpg

I'm off for a four day location shoot tomorrow up north. I don't think
I'll see many there... Mabe some Cobras, but they will have tail rotors
and rocket pods instead of fangs. What the heck do I feed THEM?
