Thanks, Dave.
While there are many around here, this particular one resides in the Audubon Nature Center in Jamestown, NY. She's was found injured (wing) in a field in WA and given physical therapy but it didn't help enough to allow her survival in the wild. So she was given to a local Audubon Society facility. She can only fly a few feet high and a few feet in distance. I did manage to capture a decent image of her taking off though. |

Great detail in the wings. Thanks for the back-story.

Ed, great shot of Burney Falls. Looks like there's plenty of water there.

Kevin, monster shot. You got there at a "good" time. (Not so good for home owners).

Still, I took dozens of shots with the Sony, Fuji and Canon. I hope to have some more to post. |

Photobomb!!
Hummingbird Photobomb by David Stephens, on Flickr This handsome, male, house finch was posing for his finch-on-thistle portrait when a hummingbird blew by in the background at 20+ mph. BTW, most of what I'm posting lately is handheld, with the Sony a9, the Sony 100-400mm G-master lens and the FE 2.0x teleconverter. That rig is amazing, particularly when you consider how light it is for an 800mm, full-frame rig. Dave

As a travel camera, the 600mm effective range of the RX10 can certainly come in handy at times. This is the "Witches Cauldron" the 500 foot wide crater at the top of Wizard Island, the cone that rises out of Crater Lake in Oregon. Shot from a few miles away at a roadside viewpoint.

For contrast, I took this from the same spot as above with my Fuji.

I've got a Sony RX-100, with a 1" sensor, that is very compact, but very capable. I now kick myself whenever it's not with me and I'm "forced" to take a cellphone picture. Dave

Maybe some day I can meet up with Ed and learn more about bird and wildlife photography! I live in the south bay and Ed lives in the north bay, but we cover much of the same territory. My problem is that I work too much and usually only have the weekend for photo outings. Last week I had a few days off over the 4th, so I took my patient wife to Point Reyes for the day. The light house was still crowded, but long exposures made most of the crowd disappear! Ooops, now I gave away tomorrow's photo.

I escaped the heat for the 4th and went North. One more from Crater Lake. I thought this was the Fuji, but it turns out its another RX10 shot.

Looks like the RX10 makes a great travel camera - - - a crazy range for a relatively compact camera! Are these black & white images out of the camera, or are they post processed to black and white?
