I tried that! But they don't seem to last! However I've just seen the red rose bush is coming into bud, so should have some in a few days.
Got a tip for us?

Just going through some old urban-exploring images and re-editing them. Here's the first out the gate.

Just bought a super clamp and was screwing around with it mounted on a broom 
Opportunity lost! You're supposed to tell us this is how you clean your sensor and that this is a shot of you in action doing this!Just bought a super clamp and was screwing around with it mounted on a broom

This picture was taken from the Spilter Knoll Overlook on Skyline Drive in Virginia. Below is the Shenandoah Valley.
I was scouting for a nice sunset location. Unfortunately during sunset, there was a big cloud right in front of the sun.
But I managed to get this shot 20 minutes after sunset. 3 frame bracketed exposure merged in Lightroom.
I wonder why they are called "Blue Ridge Mountains"?

Thank you all...very much.
Hummingbirds are tricky little buggers to shoot. To get any detail at all from their wings requires off-camera flash. For this shot, I used 3 speedlights.
It took me a couple days to get it right but I was determined to get a hummingbird shot for a project that I'm working on:
My 92 year old father lives in a nursing/extended care residence so I've done a couple of photo presentations for the residents of his home and others.
I mention this only because it has proven to be time very well spent and appreciated. If anyone is looking for something worthwhile to do with their images, pick a topic, any topic - I chose "wildlife" but it could be travel, bugs, flowers, landscape, anything at all and put it in a presentation. I put a bunch of shots together with Keynote and show them on the largest TV they have off my laptop.
The thing is that many of the old folks are hearing and/or visually and/or cognitively impaired so big and bright photographs without a lot of talking works very well. And, I know that around here, staff are always looking for volunteers to come in and engage their residents in some way or another.
I think I'm going to go on tour with this.

That’s a really great idea. Slide shows were pretty popular with the older generations, so I’m sure it’s a nice bit of nostalgia, even if it’s not the old projector, screen and slide trays.Thank you all...very much.

I still recall sitting through my grandparents’ slide shows of their trips after they retired. My dad still has several trays of slides in a closet from our family trips too. I can even still hear the clicks of the slide advancements.
Yup. I recall those evenings. Probably all landfill now.That’s a really great idea. Slide shows were pretty popular with the older generations, so I’m sure it’s a nice bit of nostalgia, even if it’s not the old projector, screen and slide trays.
