Shotgun 1 #163 June 13, 2008 Check out the blooms on our San Pedro cactus. It just bloomed for the first time last night, and the flowers are almost as big as my face. (Rich took this picture.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From a walk in the woods this morning: 1) Camouflaged butterflys. 2) Flower. 3) Flower with bug. 4) Gar in sunbeam. 5) Texas-size snail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #165 June 13, 2008 More, from a walk in the woods this morning: 1) Snake, almost stepped on this little fellow. 2) Spider, web glistening in sunlight. 3) Grumpy turtle. 4) Wooly booger. I had a very cool deer encounter, with it grunting out a noise that sounded like a hawk. I kept looking up in the treetops for the source of the noise. Then I noticed a deer looking at me, and uttering the sound. Bambi bounded off before I could get the camera ready. It was a very strange noise it was making, and not something you would expect to come from a deer. I needed this dose of nature. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #166 June 13, 2008 Nice! It took me a sec to realize that the gar was not actually in the trees. What woods were you walking in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #167 June 13, 2008 Very nice John...thanks for sharing those! The turtle looks as though it is smiling! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #168 June 13, 2008 Quote Nice! It took me a sec to realize that the gar was not actually in the trees. What woods were you walking in? Yes, that's an odd, almost surreal photo. The trees are reflecting on the surface of the water. And you couldn't see the gar unless he was in that patch of sunlight breaking through the trees. I just happened to get him in the right place at the right time. This was in a few square miles of wilderness that serves as a flood basin, in the middle of Houston, Texas, suburbia. General question for photographers. How do you get good photos of big spiders sitting in their webs? I took a lot, but most come out crap. I have an automagic camera that does it's own range determination and focus. I center the crosshairs right on the spider, but the camera usually thinks I'm taking a picture of the woods in the background. So the spider comes out fuzzy, like in the attached photo. The spider doesn't seem to present enough of a target for the rangefinder to work properly. I sometimes use the technique of putting my hand by a small object, like a flower, pushing the shutter button halfway down to lock the focus on my hand, then removing my hand and snapping the photo. But I can't stick my hand inside a spider web to use that same technique on them. So, what to do? Anything short of buying a $1,000 camera? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davedlg 0 #169 June 13, 2008 A few pics from a raft trip I went on through Lodore Canyon in Dinosaur National Monument. All but one of these are High Dynamic Range (HDR) images stacked from multiple exposures to get a very high depth of tone. I've been playing with this a bit and these are some of the better results I've gotten. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
