    I went to the event to push my boundaries and expand the scope of what I was doing. David fulfilled that for me, encouraging me to move away from automatic settings and try things in landscape photography that I had not done before. I appreciated that leading and will be better at my craft because of that class.

    This photo was taken in Homer, Alaska. I have not seen bald eagles in the wild and was very excited to see them a few times while visiting there. I had rented a 100-400mm lens for my new Sony mirrorless and was thrilled by the quality of the equipment. It was so sweet that this eagle provided me with a couple dozen poses while I was shooting!

    The reeds has been a good place to for many birds to take refuge in. Birds come and go all the time and these little birds are very fast. I was lucky enough to be able to snap a quick photo.

    On the rocks as the waves rush in through the narrow channel between the rocks and the small island. Shot with a Nikon D5600 w/18-200mm lens at F20 2-3 second exposure mounted on tripod. I focus at a likely spot where the waves converge and wait for a good set of waves to come in and then click the shutter.

    I saw the sky start to get some color after looking too overcast. I grabbed my gear and went down to the road behind where I live. I had gotten a few shots of the headlights going the other way and it was too much of a contrast with the sky. I got set up, with the camera low to the ground and got a couple test shots. Then shot this at 5 seconds.

    I heard there was a flock of Bohemian waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) at Howbridge Cemetery Atherton. Being a cemetery setting respect and care was taken using long lens from footpath. This bird is extremely photogenic and looks like a painting, the feathers are so fine the photos of them appear to be over edited but all I do is maybe crop and lightning.I always shoot in Raw info here Canon 7D 400mm f5.6 1/250, ISO500

    I setup bird feeders at home including a hummingbird feeder. They are super active and are use to me being close to them so I grabbed my Canon R5 with my Canon 70-200mm f2.8 lens and placed myself within 8 feet from the feeder rendering great closeup shots while they feed and the late afternoon sun gives this Rufous hummingbird that beautiful glow
