So Far! Image #16847 March 2024 in Bodega Bay California. The timing of this shot came together nicely. I was looking for a combination of a seabird flying above exciting surf. It captured the wings in an interesting position at the same time as the gull was flying over some crashing waves and foamy surf. Getting the gull in focus and the surf shooting up was difficult to be sure. The seabirds were flying parallel to the beach in search of fish. They would cruise in low and then suddenly dive out of site as they found prey. If no luck on this round, they would turn around and fly back the other way, but further out from shore. It was as if they had air traffic control as they all did the same pattern.

So Far! Image #9771 May 2022 Chino California. This female Anna's Hummingbird is adorable. She was showing up in our back yard only for a minute or so two to three times a day. I had to sit for hours and wait. She finally came to the neighbor's flowering Jasmine bush on a cloudy day. She had pollen on top of her head and spider web remnants on her beak. This was taken about 22 feet away with the Canon 90D and the Sigma 150-600mm Contemporary lens; 600mm, 1/2000 of a second, f /6.3, ISO 3200. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6185a5dd57fa45454ab24449/a4274c0f-7413-4117-9859-f224bfd104f9/IMG_9256-Enhanced-NR.jpg Photography Outings - Best... So Far! Image #9256 April 2022 in Chino California. This is a backyard shot of an Anna's Hummingbird drinking at a bougainvillea bush. You can see that she has pollen on top of her head. I have some other shots with her tongue sticking out as well. Again, waiting for hours for activity that lasts only seconds of time. I know that I could set up a feeder and get a lot more activity in a known location... however, the challenge of catching them doing what they do naturally is really worth the trouble in my mind. This was taken from about 14 feet away. I used the Canon 90D with the Sigma 150/600mm Contemporary lens; 388mm, 1/2000 of a second, f /7.1, ISO 3200. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6185a5dd57fa45454ab24449/8f981534-5b3b-4746-9558-a48ee17f022d/IMG_9407-Enhanced-NR-2.jpg Photography Outings - Best... So Far! Image #9407 April 2022 Chino California. First let me say that even as an entomologist, I can't believe how fast and agile butterflies are with those thin wings. This shot was a minor miracle! I was waiting, for a long long time, for my favorite hummingbird to show up at the aloe flowers that they so dearly love to visit. Without warning, out of the corner of my eye, I see this Monarch butterfly swoop down to the Bougainvillea in another part of the yard about 14 feet away. Its total time at the flower was less than 10 seconds! I whipped the camera around and pushed the back button focus with the current manual settings I had ready for my other intended shot. I hit the shutter at high speed and got only 20 frames before it flew off at sonic speed again. I just KNEW that I didn't get any good shots. How could I?! The focusing setting was set to "spot" and I would have had to nail the exact center for such a small target. Not only that, the manual settings for aperture and speed were not even considered in the seconds that I had to work it. Later, when I viewed the loaded images on the computer screen, I said "Oh my god!" multiple times. Somehow it worked! This was taken with the Canon 90D with the Sigma 150/600mm Contemporary lens; 531mm, 1/2500 of a second, f /7.1, ISO 1600.
