how long did it take you to get that shot? very nice."
It's a funny story. I had paddled in to an area early one morning in hopes of photographing woodducks, teal and widgeon. I used a beaver hut for a blind and this fellow swam around all morning beating the water with his tail. As luck would have it....the ducks wouldn't cooperate so I started taking photos of the beaver....voila.

It's a garden spider; we had them in Georgia. They are big, and creepy, but doesn't compete with the size of the fisher spiders you see in the boundary waters.

quote mocha: "hobbydog, what kind of camera are you using to get the photo of this bee, the butterflies.....?"
The better questions is what lens. A good macro lens is on my wish list but these were taken with a Nikon 70-200 f2.8 lens. It is a great lens, very sharp and has great bokeh. Both of the picture mentioned have varying degrees of cropping. The only downside (besides $$$) is that it is heavy and hard to take on canoe trips.

I love the idea. I just picked up a new camera. My first DSLR. I am just getting used to it and I am a little overwhelemed at this point. I figured though, I would have plenty of time to play with it and get used to some of the features. I am really excited to take it along this summer. Here is one from the Lake 4 to Hudson portages. I really want to learn how to make the water look like the pro's do. Where the water seems to moving in their photographs. Not sure of the technical terms that they use but I really like how they turn out.

I use the manual setting on my camera. I bracket my shots. I set my shutter speed at 1/15 sec or there about and stop down the aperture at about f22 to start and change the fstop and shutter speed till I get the desired effect. A tripod helps or a steady surface.

Yes, please join in. There are only 2 rules. One a day and outdoor related. If you can't post every day that is ok too. It can be from anytime in the past but fresh from the camera is always good. I always welcome comments/critiques but usually only comment on others and save the critique unless specifically asked for on a particular picture.
I have to say I have really look forward to what others have posted up each day. Hopefully more will join in. Look forward to seeing your pictures.

there are quite a few members in this forum and it would be wonderful if everyone participated! as much as i welcome critique as i work my way to amateur, so that makes me a hobby photographer? feel free to send me an email if you want with constructive comments. most of the photos i take are based on an emotional connection to what i'm looking at.. if that makes sense. sometimes that shows up, sometimes not.
too much stress involved if this became "a photo a day" ...
i like looking at photos and a description about them so that's why i'm participating at this point.

My dog watching the sun rise (in previous pic) over South Fowl. He sat there and watched it rise for 5 minutes and seemed to enjoy it as much as I did.

She was big. She had 3 cubs with her but the other two stayed back in the woods. I think she was going after crayfish as she was digging in the rocks where the water met the shore. She was so occupied I got really close before she spied me.
