Camera Fun
¶ Wednesday, November 22, 2006 
 | So, everyone needs a quest. My current camera quest is to catch things in flight. I've been really struggling with getting the autofocus to cooperate with birds. But I've been practicing on dragonflies! |
 | The thing about dragonflies is that they tend to fly in circles, hunting patterns, so if you figure out their route, you can stake them out. |
 | During the recent Leonid shower I tried to take some long-exposure shots, hoping to catch a shooting star. No luck, but I did get Orion. Thirty-second exposure produces streaks as the stars rotate. |
 | Sometimes they just sit there. |
 | This is on some kind of vine. I love the tight-wound look of the buds. |
 | Yeah, I've taken Helliconia pictures before. But when the colors are this good, I'm gonna take them again. |
