Photography, Fiction, Travel, and Opinions.
These were taken on April 8, before I photographed the eclipse. I snapped many good images but pared them down to 22, all action shots. Because of it, very few words in this post. Some of these are the best I've ever taken of the respective birds. We begin with the Blue Jays above and... Continue Reading →
On April 7th, I again sat outside with my coffee and Nikon D7500. I snapped 345 images, trashed a few, and picked 209 to share. That's too many for one blog post, so I'm splitting them into four posts with 50 to 55 images each. This, then, is the third of four posts about what... Continue Reading →

April 1st . . . lacking anyone to play pranks on, I opted to amuse myself by sitting outside with my coffee and my Nikon D7500. It's been a while since I've done that . . . last year, to be exact. That's because the weather hasn't exactly cooperated . . . until yesterday. Anyway,... Continue Reading →
Continuing my presentation showcasing my efforts to capture birds in motion. The prior posts are HERE, HERE, and HERE. I previously explained not to expect greatness because action shots are tough to get (at least for me). This is especially true when birds are flying. Of course, sometimes I get lucky . . . Common...

Look at the relative size of the wings relative to the body. Continuing my presentation showcasing my efforts to capture birds in motion. The prior two posts are HERE and HERE. I previously explained not to expect greatness, but maybe I'm too critical. Still, even when I like a photo — like this next one... Continue Reading →
Continuing my presentation showcasing my efforts to capture birds in motion. This usually required high shutter speeds, high ISO, anticipation, and good reflexes in releasing the shutter. I gradually crept up in shutter speeds from 1/1,600 sec. to about 1/2,200 sec., and even that is sometimes too slow. On a sunny day, that keeps the... Continue Reading →
Northern Mockingbird Note: WP occasionally shows you the post without pulling all the images. If you're reading and it sounds like there's an image missing, just refresh the window. Let me start by saying these are not great photos. There are two reasons; well, two main reasons. One, the days was gloomy and rainy. That... Continue Reading →
Not many words . . . just some backyard bird photos . . . Slideshow of Just Birds 2022 - September and October Gallery (54 photos) That’s it. This post has ended . . . except for the stuff below. <><><><o><><><><><o><><><> Note: if you are not reading this blog post at DisperserTracks.com, know that it's copied without permission, and...

We had tentatively scheduled posting the Round 6 stories (It's A Wonderful Life) today, but that's now likely for tomorrow evening or Monday morning. One writer is traveling, another is not ready . . . and, in a first, I'm actually done ahead of time. I can say with confidence that very few people will... Continue Reading →
As mentioned, these posts are a chance for me to get my D100 and D200 out, make sure the batteries are charged and there's a fresh CF memory card waiting to receive photos, and go out and shoot with them old workhorses. This is all about the D100 coupled with the Nikon 80-400mm zoom (a... Continue Reading →
In Thursday's post documenting Wednesday's Erculean photography effort, I posted a few photos snapped with my Nikon P900 camera. I don't use the camera as much primarily because most of my subjects are fairly close. Also, because I'm sitting on a chair on my patio, the weight of the equipment isn't a concern. Still, I...

Hidden Architecture As mentioned in Part 1, I've been taking a lot of photos of birds. The 100% Crop series is just at it sounds. Each photo shows a bird cropped from a larger photo. Most of the crops will be 100%, but not all. Regardless, the photos will be fairly large close-ups of the... Continue Reading →
Galactic Worms On a recent comment, oneowner and I discussed Topaz's Legacy plugins . . . which prompted me to play with a few I haven't used in a while. The photos I used to play with the plugins were those of the recent bird post (HERE). The first candidate was the Gray Catbird .... Continue Reading →
