But it was all about steel...

 Classic '57

 Stude Hawk

 Simple White

 Hudson Horsepower

 Streetrod Flames

Note on the '57... I'm not a real '57 fan just because there are so many of them but this one was exceptional and I actually liked the effect of the cheapo starburst filter on the chrome.

Hope you enjoy.

The new kids are out and about. This young Anna's female has really taken to me and will let me get within 1 1/2 feet of her with the lens. With the 100mm macro she will fill the frame. This is a crop out of the actual image. It is not enlarged. Hope you enjoy.

Alaska Blue or more specifically iceberg blue is one of my favorite colors. These are from my archives but hope to go back up in 2010 to shoot some more of them.

There was mention over in the Photography Discussion forum on using extension tubes and macro lenses. I hadn't tried the tubes on my 100mm macro yet so I went out and played. Not the best shooting conditions with a breeze blowing but what the heck. All are at F 2.8 trying to keep a shallow DOF. I may have to try it with my 50mm F1.8 to cut it down even more.

Not a true macro but it filled the frame. Some of you are old enough to remember what it is. Many of you aren't.
Go-back Machine Crank

And it's that time of the year again. I'd rather shoot these than flowers any day. The yard has turned into a gang turf war between the resident Anna's and three of these Male Rufous Hummingbird Hooligan.

Have a ducky week. I'm sorting shots from last weekend in Central Oregon.


Hummingbird time

Most of you know what a nut I am for hummingbirds and I go on this rant every year but I'm going to do it again.

Please....

If you are going to feed them clean your feeders at least every week.

DO NOT use that premix with the red dye in  it or add red dye to food that you mix on your own. It has been proven to mess with the birds kidneys.

It is easy to mix your own food. All you need is 1 cup of hot water and 1/4 cup of white sugar. They don't care what brand.

A few of the kids from past years...

I've just been busier than a blind photographer at Nude Miss America Pageant.
Well not quite but busy anyway.

The good news is my first illegal Mexican immigrant of the year showed up today! This photo isn't him from this year but very well could be the same bird. Male Rufous Hummingbird. He has hit one of the feeders and has been checking out the others. Just for spite here is a Grecian Wildflower for you while I'm here.

Have a ducky day. I'm back to uploading and keywording stock images.    


Warning!! Post contains flowers!!

You have been warned...

There, I got that out of my system. Have I said how much I like that Canon 100mm Macro?


Bee crop...

One more bee shot for you. This is an a crop out of the full size image.. Bee Crop

On this wave shot... do you think there is too much wave in it? Is the size perspective messed up because of it? Another Wave

No need to vote on these. I'm looking for input more than anything else but.... I want it on the size and not the tonal range. We've been down that road.


To be a bee or not to be...?

In trying to avoid an early start on Flowergraphica I have included other subject matter to shift the attention from the flower alone to another subject. On the other hand if your flowers are still buried under snow, spring will get to your part of the world some time.

All are hand held, 40D and Canon 100mm F2.8 macro.

Yellow Is Good

Hope you enjoy. The next sign of spring will be the Rufous showing up. That will be within the next three weeks. The resident Anna's will not be thrilled about having to share their feeders.
