@Kanuck Very jealous right now lol. And it's always surprising when you find out about some structure that everyone knew about but you. D3100 | 18-55mm | ISO 100 | F11 | 2.5 Sec | 18mm
Thanks for the comments on the sweet old lady. Her sitting position is her standing position as well since she suffers from arthiritis. She has been an inspiartion to many even to me. This is her great grand kid part of a 4 generation shoot.
I like to post shots most would not show, but this is handheld, taken in near darkness (7:41 PM) …. as suggested by the Exif: D4, 16-35mm f/4 VR Nikkor, wide open at 1/13 second, ISO 16,000.
Battle of the Butterflies Went for location scouting yesterday when I came across two butterflies "fighting" over this flower. Didn't have a tripod with me or anything I could lean on, also didn't want to go too high on ISO. Took around 60 shots and think this was the best of them, I deleted 40 or so straight away, not common for me to do so, kind of a digital hoarder :-)

I took this photo after realizing I left my tripod in my wife's car and she was at work. Spammed about forty or so frames at 1:1 hand-held trying to hit focus points all over its face. Turned it over to photoshop to chew on for a focus stack. Happy because spraying and praying saved the day, and I got an image rather than none.
