Fun with MF images 2024

Trying to plan an early November trip to Caddo Lake, so I have been going back thru images from a few years ago. This was my first outing with my technical camera, so there was a lot of learning that occurred on this trip.

Greg, I find that my outdoor photos are like elaborate frames waiting to be filled. Sure, they can be pretty or show some interesting object but they lack the spark of life. That heron is transformative. This is still a landscape, but it lives. Nicely seen.

Thank you! I wish I could take credit for planning and waiting for the heron, but it was just fortuitous timing. The bald cypress trees coming up out of the water with the dangling moss gives this other worldly type feel, that for me is reminiscent of photographing in the desert where almost every direction you look is a photographic opportunity.

Here's my favorite attempt trying to shoot the end of this bloom right before the sun goes behind the mountains. I had better focused shots of different parts of the tree, but I liked the light in this one the most. Just wish I had nailed focus on the bright part and not the flowers below. I've not done a lot of macro shooting so didn't have my camera setup properly to get the right focus in the wind. By the time I got everything setup for macro in the wind, I tried to return to this but the light had gone. I'm not sure if I will get another chance.
