It looks like you spend as much time and have fun in your gardens as we do here. Nice set of specimens in your images. Have you caught images of any of the hummingbirds that like those plants?

Thanks Richard. I believe this is my first Orchid Spider as well. It's a good thing the markings were easy to identify.

The afternoon sun was moving behind the canopy of our big trees, causing dapples of light. I followed the path of this female Ruby Throated Hummingbird until she passed in and out of some of that ...

I like all of them Dean, but this first one really appeals to me. It combines an intimate encounter close enough to engage in conversation with the goat as a vignette framed within the vast ...

That looks like a hot pixel. Now you could be patient because I believe that Sony cameras automatically perform a hot pixel re-mapping once a month. Wait a few weeks and see if the hot pixel goes ...

Thank you, Sundre. Note, the image caption should have said "along the plane of its web", not "edge".

A great, well timed, well exposed capture of an eye-catching subject. I pondered the composition at first, wondering about the amount of negative space to the right. But in the end, I agreed with ...

In my gardens I saw an unusual double spider's web, woven nearly parallel to each other about 85mm apart. Between the webs on the inside was a tiny spider right in the middle. The challenge began, ...

I believe that for your type of photography, you have made the right choice. So good luck with and have fun with your new camera and lenses when they arrive.

Thanks Dean. There's another current thread in this forum that's been going on for two weeks in which I opine that the A7R IV works quite well for moving subjects. It's not your A1, but it does ...

Just because I hear so often that the A7R IV can't capture moving subjects, a couple images from today: A Common Blue Damselfly in flight. A Threadtail Damselfly in flight. This damselfly is about ...

Quick images from this afternoon's walk along the lake at Westmoreland Sanctuary: A Threadtail Damselfly in flight caught with the 70-200mm GM II. A Common Blue Damselfly in flight caught with the ...

Thanks Dean. I do think that I would also like that A1 of yours, but my A7R IV still does meet my needs. And I think that's the most important thing to consider. In over 2 1/2 years I've learned ...

What a wonderful picture in picture tradition. And very nice family portrait as well. Happy Birthday to your daughter.

Wonderful capture Dean. That fawn doesn't look more than a day or two old. As always, I love the images of your "neighbors". Ed

Excellent. I am certainly looking forward to more of your work.

While we were lounging on the patio for Father's Day Brunch, camera nearby of course, this Eastern Swallowtail joined the party: The hummingbirds were also flying around, but too far away by the ...

Consider the Sigma 14-24mm f/2.8 DG DN Art for less serious damage $$$ wise. See my collection of images on the A7R IV here.

I would disagree with the highlighted section of that statement. While the A7R IV is NOT the A1, it is quite capable of capturing moving subjects when used properly. Just saying. But yes, for ...

All taken with A7R IV and Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sport: I have many more, but it's apparent that the A7R IV is quite capable of taking Birds in Flight. The equipment can do it, but it ...
