“Scintillation” hosted an “open fire jam” last night – all *I* burnt up were some batteries, but other people   R E A L L Y   got their fire ON….

Please enjoy these initial pics – I’ll post more soon.

An awfully pretty dog.  And sweet.  And smart…

Possibly magic – we’re not sure yet.

This is HDR, 6 exposures off a tripod, on the way to the gym.  Sometimes, things work out!

Roadside wildflowers

If someone will identify these flowers, I’ll give them proper credit!  This was off a tripod, 3 long exposures after dusk.

Hummer

Julie said that a hummer came by on a regular schedule, so I set up with a tripod, remote shutter release, set for 1/4,000th of a second, and focused on the flower.  All we had to do was squeeze the trigger when we saw/heard him, and the camera would fire off 10 exposures in quick order.  After a few false alarms, I sat down next to the camera at sundown, and the hummer appeared!  I squeezed, and this was the best of the 10 or so exposures – good for a start!
