  A decade ago I had an assistant hold my camera while I got the feel of a "Hawg". What is lead to was a story on my bout with cancer and how I had kicked it. After the mag came out I was given the finished image. Just something a little different to post. Normally these bikes were shot with a cable release in ambient light without a person on the seat.

  Young reticulated giraffe feeding. Worst shooting conditions ever. Thank God for high ISO performance and a steady tripod.

  My photo was taken in Denmark. I had no chance to see how the bird fly. It would just be nice to know what kind it is. It looks like a baby bird in my mind.

  The Kestrel is a Europe wide species Samko, I am sure that is what it is. Had a bit of brain-fade when I typed Sparrow Hawk above, I've corrected that.

  Always learning.

  Well, as one who likes to place limits on myself, I decided to capture what I could see of The Henry Ford Museum via a modified 10.5mm Nikkor on full frame. The results will be seen in the next several days on PAD......so, prepare yourself..... )

  First night out with the new 70-2000 2.8. Very good at controlling flair.
