Great times Bob; Did you get the wind down there too?

Went to Ludlow Falls today and although there was a lot of mud in the river,

Lot less water today and definitely much clearer

Great shots Scott. Water so much better when it's clean.
Went to pickup my taxes today got bored and took a longer way home pass an area frequented by migrating birds. Found these guys, Sandhill Cranes. I knew they come through this way on occasion but have never actually seen them until today. Yay!

Wow, even with the zoom at full 300mm, you must have been quite close !

Went for a local walk, took camera along.
Saw this in first step off front porch.


Was using an old lens, back from the last century, 1980s actually. (adapted to fit more modern digital camera)
Presents the annoying situation of having to actually focus myself (not so well this time).

I got tired of how my laptop would drag when I tried to edit any photos so I built a new desktop computer this past weekend. Since my desk real estate is extremely limited with my work laptop, docking station, and dual monitors, I also bought a Keyboard, Video, and Mouse (KVM) switch box. However, I also don't that just sitting on the floor so I made this mount for it tonight and tested the fit. It's drying right now so I can't mount it to the wall until tomorrow though.

Actually they were probably about 60 - 70 feet away and shooting 300mm on the m4/3 is actually 600mm. Photo was cropped in height about 25% and square to get rid of a bunch of negative space and then added a few minor tweaks in LR.

Shot yesterday with an old, manual Canon 50mm f/3.5 Macro lens...
The first two are between 15-25mm in diameter...

A "stay at home" project...LOL...

Great shots Bob. I've got and couple of old prime Nikon G lenses hanging around. Guess I'll have to get myself one of those adaptors

Thanks.
It really is fun, at least I think so.
When I got my first mu4/3 camera, the GH2, I just bought the body, and picked up a couple old Canon legacy lenses off eBay.
Didn't get a real mu4/3 lens for a couple months. 20mm, I think it was.

Beautiful shots Bob. In particular, I love the red flower with the green fuzzy things just below.

Bob baatfam,
You got me thinking about needing more macro lens capability.
Great detail on small flower (what I was going for, but cant focus close enough)
