Took this with my K10D and kit lens when it was brand new. My first digital camera, and my second SLR. My first was a 1969 Spotmatic.

Take a look at the rest of the gallery at pbase. Comments are welcome.

John, really nice shots. 369 and 440 were my favorites. Lighting was excellent on both. It might make them a bit more interesting to have the subject off center some, but that is just IMHO. Looking forward to seeing more of your work. You have a good eye for it.

Thanks for your comments Glenn.

I am going to try to replace those images with larger copies when I get home in the morning. My first gallery images were too big, and now these are not big enough.

I am also going to try again to get an image or two into the post so that you don't have to chase a link to see them. I'm not sure I know how, but will try.

I have increased the size of the images at pbase. They are much easier to see now.

Enjoy!

Hi John,

I just tried and Pbase said that the image didn't exist. . .

Oops!

I deleted the originals when I uploaded the new images. Here is a new link.

Hi John,

Much better! Very nice!

I love this kind of shot, but living around Chicago doesn't provide much opportunity. . .:-)

. . . I guess that's why I shoot birds -- if I shot landscapes, they'd be an assortment of trees on the flat horizon -- if I could find a shot without buildings or telephone/power poles and lines. . . If I shoot people, they either think I'm a cop, a pervert, or somebody looking to somehow embarass them on the internet. If I shoot architecture, they think I'm a terrorist or a master thief scoping out a future job. The birds, squirrels, and frogs don't care. . . and if they do -- well, it's just too bad. :-)

The larger size really helps - these are lovely pictures. Another place I want to visit - it looks so fascinating!
