This little green fellow stayed around long enough for a few photos and the on his way he went. We still hear him and his family.  I took this using 3X zoom - 2ft away, f2.8 and 1/150 shutter.
Beautiful Lake Horicon is a wonderful place to capture ducks and geese and also pack a lunch. This was tricky, but the detail in the trees show a very good exposure. 1X zoom, f4.0 1/125 shutter.
You'll see many rose-o-sharons in my photo gallery. They are fun to shoot and are always challenging with shadows. Here, I wanted the illusion of depth and got it with an f2.8 stop. 3X f2.8 1/250 shutter.

I have many fond memories fishing from this old abandoned railroad bridge. Today, there is nothing much left to film, but the memories are clear as ever. 1X f2.8 1/125 shutter.
Here I wanted pin-point focus. I wanted the rows of cells to fade evenly and smoothly to a border. It was important to center this subject. 5X zoom f2.8 1/125 shutter.
I've always called these poppers. You grab one at the base, trapping air inside and then smack them against your wrist making a loud popping sound This was evening light..  3X f2.8 1/125 shutter.
Same abandoned bridge as above, this time underneath and a good study of shade and motion. The bridge and water tell two stories here. 1X f4.0 1/125 shutter.
I offer this simple flower from a bouquet I captured in great detail. This was interesting to me, because it was ordinary, yet detailed. 1X f4.0 1/500 shutter.
Fluffy, who was our kitten "Not to long ago" is now Fluffy the Hut, a feline version of the Starwars character Java. Why the big smile??? Gonna have to ask Fluffy. 1X f4 1/250 shutter - flash.
At Allaire State Park you will find this blacksmith. He pounds away all day making souvenir horseshoes and coat hooks. 1X f5.6 1/60 shutter - flash.
Allaire State Park has a wonderful restored village, shops, picnic areas and long rugged trails. These trees were amazing, hundreds leaning every which way. 2X f2.8 1/250 shutter.
Patches again, this time doing a flop after a kitten energized workout. He is great to shoot because he plays and hunts all the time. 3X f8 1/60 shutter.
