I checked out the open house at the Crucible. I couldn’t stay long, I was hoping for a fire show.
Crucible
Kingfisher
I have been trying to photograph a Belted Kingfisher for quite some time now. She has proven to be quite elusive. She always announces her arrival with a loud heckle, but the second she sees me she bolts. I will get a decent photo if it’s the last thing I do…
Labor Day 2015
This year we had Labor Day at Jon & Kathy’s. Of course the focus is always on the kids especially with our new family addition Ethan.
Hawkish
Did my usual morning thing. Coffee in one hand camera in the other. Noticed 2 hawks go back and forth diving into the field. So I ran out there and attempted to get a little closer. I don’t know if it is a Coopers or Redtail Hawk.
Bugging
Found a bug in our trash, so I shot em. Needless to say it looked nothing like this to the naked eye, but on a macro level all the details come to light.
Annibirthery 2015
August is a busy month as we celebrate Rick, Jon & Ethan’s birthday. Wedding anniversaries for the Yuen’s, Kung’s & us. This year we went to NOLA in Palo Alto.
Perbacco
Been wanting to come here for quite awhile, so after my Canon Macro class (right across the street) we had a lovely dinner.
Dragonfly
Next week Saturday I will be attending a Canon Live class on macro photography. How appropriate that today I would come across a dragonfly in the backyard. I shot em with natural & artificial light.
Your fly is down
Caught this huge fly fornicating on my guava tree so I caught em and shot em.
MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro with a MT-24EX flash.
Barin Reunion 2015
This year’s reunion was here in San Francisco. Friday night was the dinner party at the Hilton by SFO.
The family was so big I had to shoot a 2 photo pano. I had forgotten to bring an omnidirectional light modifier and only had a softbox. No stress there.
Saturday was the picnic at Frontierland in Pacifica.
