I enjoyed a birding weekend with 34 other birders to Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Area and Quiviria National Wildlife Refuge. Considered the largest wetland in the interior of the United States and ...

I'll be in Durban 21 Sept ending my South Africa birding/safari holiday - be there only to transfer to Joburg for my long flight to Atlanta. As you can imagine I'm so excited. I'll be visiting: Eas ...

MartinKem, terrific natural photos, a joy to view. Love to see more of your safari. Makes me excited for my Sept. safari to South Africa. Thanks for sharing. As far as the offering of  #3 with ...

Great minds Thomas! I've had on my mind for ages to visit Bellefontaine Cemetary - what a special place. They do all sorts of interesting walks on a weekly basis - check the website. Job well done ...

Very nice work Birdroyfinn!  I really like the Teminick's Stint. Ev

Kathy, this wheel bug and the previous are really nice photos - very crisp focus. These bugs are so interesting. I'm enjoying reading about them.  Keep up the good work. I just love these ...

When we are out and about sometimes we don't pay attention to the little things..

Yep, no doubt its heat shimmer, aka atomospheric effects. Evelyn

Hi, My guess is your photos are suffering the effects of heat shimmer - common problem at medium to longer zoom distances on hot humid days - images are not sharp because heat waves are bending the ...

7/15 went on a butterfly_dragonfly morning photo outing. https://evsphotos.smugmug.com/St-Charles-County-MOButterfly-Dragonfly-Outing-7152018/ Thanks for looking. Ev

The last one is very good - I like the effect of the light and shadows on the whole image. This is one incredible looking insect - love those spines on the legs. For me this would be a photo I ...

Thomas, Great job on the capture - did you use the macro setting for this guy? The spiny leg detail, and the tiny fleshy pads on the end of the feet, and the beardy looking parts around the eye all ...

Please don't include me in that group of esteemed community members - me, I'm right there with you Thomas at 197 posts.  :-D Guess we'll just push on. Ev

I was curious if Panet had posted any other bird photos, take a look at these Guira, Cuckoos - really eye-popping. Excellent - Panet. https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/61207270 Evelyn

I love how you've framed the bird in the tree, and the background just seems to set it off, while keeping the focus on the bird and its snack. Panet, do you have your photos online. I'd enjoy ...

Great!  So glad it worked. Evelyn

Not 100%, but I think it means you need to set the day and time -  go to Menu and then the Wrench and you should see the option. Hope that works. Evelyn

I would turn the camera off, then take out the battery for minute or so.  Then put the battery back in - turn on and see if it makes a difference. Ev

He seems to be finding his place in the world. Nice work. I want to spend some time with your Flickr page - you have some terrific close-ups. Common Kestrel, Great Spotted Woodpecker, Dunnock so ...

Hi Thomas, I think you did a good job with a very difficult situation. I think its hard enough to take BIF - but add a person with the BIF - very hard. I wouldn't attempt it. As far as BIF I don't ...
