Butterflies Everywhere

These are close to the Old Louisville Rd bridge. Don't know much about butterflies, but there were lots, and lots, of these babies.

One Duck For You!

Well, I bought a big canon lens from Amazon - good source by the way. The zoo trip convinced me I needed more power. This was my first trip out with it. I lamely went to the local park to shoot ducks, and whatever else fell into the crosshairs. The first shots with the new lens were really disappointing. It was overcast, that may have something to do with it. I came away with one shot that I liked....

'Thirty Six Seconds of Lightning' or 'I'm going to figure out how to take pictures of lightning if it kills me!

I've never tried to capture lightning. I went out to the front porch with the camea, tripod, and remote release (Do I really need to say a thunderstorm was underway?). I try and try, but I just am not fast enough to get the strike. Frustrated, I finally wise up and set the timer-remote to take continuous shots of 6 second duration. Then went inside and watched TV for 30 minutes or so (yes I left the TV plugged in during the storm). After wading through approximately 300 pictures, the winners are:

Thelma Stovall Park, Munfordville Ky

I was in Munfordville for a service call which didn't take long. I had the camera in the truck, so I thought I would swing down to da river. Didn't get many that I wanted to keep, but the sun shining down through the wood line on this daisy was nice. I met a professional photographer who was getting ready to take pictures of some of the seniors. He was a nice guy and we had a good little discussion about technology, digital cameras, workflow, etc. When the seniors started showing up, I got the heck out of there.

I would call this 'the post with no name', but I think I'll save that.
