          Thank you. I use that pier to anchor a lot of my sunrise/sunset pictures and had been getting bored as of late,so I decided to experiment and use a lens that you would normally use for doing extreme close-up photography. Had no idea the storm was on the way when I set out to take the pictures. Took about 100 shots before I had to get out of there. This was probably the best one.

            Looks nice the way that macro compresses things – nice capture

              Thanks. It’s a really sharp lens that I had gotten for my son when he was getting into photography. I don’t use it, so I thought let’s see what happens.

                    Today was a holiday here and the weather was promising for photos: little wind, good light. So I sat waiting for some birds to come for water and food. Not artistic, mostly just descriptive type bird pics…

                    Common thrush around here. Local name “jichi taruma”

                    Two tanagers; the green/bluish one is far more common and called ‘sayubu”.

                    This small guy, a parula, is an insectivore and moves in lightning fast bursts.

                    I was sitting in my kitchen having beers with a heavy lens on a tripod…lazy afternoon. Good relaxation.

                    (Nikon D500 and a 600 mm lens)

                    The journey is the objective.

                                      More than likely, satellites. Shame, the night sky is being hijacked.

                                        I took those pics the day before peak Perseids meteor shower. The straight lines in pic #1 are meteors; the colors are typical. The line in pic #3 could be a meteor or a plane.

                                            @Jett129 Canon 6D Mark I with Canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L, 30s at 2000 ISO.

                                            To be honest, my main photo goal for this trip was to do a composite image of multiple meteors by taking 30s exposures throughout the night on Aug 11th. That was a complete, absolute disaster for a reason that I am too embarrassed to mention here but which is 100% my fault…

                                            The photos were taken in Idaho during a 7 day rafting trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon river, which was a unique experience.
