Mr. DeMille, I'm Ready for My Close-Up

Thought I would see just how far I could crop in and still get good detail.

I found a Maga trigger word. When? He lost his shit when he was going on about antifa doing this and that I just asked "when?".. He lost his shit and told me to eat h less msnbc. I just stayed calm and fired what he said right back.

Thanks. In the case of this wagon, the beauty is in the details. Especially when you get closer and look and realize they took the time to decorate places no one will really see in daily use. I have to research it, but I really think this wagon works was started by Quakers.

Closeup of a Japanese Knot Weed leaf is fall colors. But the colors and the veins are amazing. Looks like a NYC metro map.

Wagon Breaks

Even looking at functional portions of the wagon is a work of art. You can see the Quaker influence with the design.

Especially rural shops like this one was.

I had a chance a few years back to get some of the wood working tools from this wagon shop. Blasted antique shop deals showed up, I was out bit majorly on a lot of tools.

Wagon Wheel Workmanship

This is the most interesting place to look on old wagons. The detail and design of the work done..

The freehand painting is fresh but the original paint style. Details in places no one would really look.

Mr. and Mrs. Sam Eagle Flyby

Usually when #Eagles see me with a camera, they fly high and circle off away. These two did multiple close flybys.

I could. But 98% of the time they are 500+ feet above me circling the mountain.

At this point, the Eagles were just plain showing off for us.

No real color in the leaf litter now, but one bright green leaf stood out from all the rest.

Bald Eagle overlooking a creek, Pennsylvania. Nikon Z50 300mm zoom

Sam Eagle

Daughter had spotted an Eagle by the creek. Left where I was working, grabbed my camera and went to see if in the hour he was still around.

First good Eagle photo I have gotten.

Never noticed that smell of my plants, but most are kousa dogwood

Not what I was expecting to find on my walk. The closest cemetery is 1/8 mile away and 200 feet up. But this isn't at tge bottom of the hill, this is by the creek.

Been a while, but hearing coyotes up on the mountain.

I have been using an older F-mount zoom lens. But it needs the adapter so that makes it more weighty than it already is, longer than it is and I didn't have the multi-use options.

This lens I have the view and zoom I want. And it is a LOT lighter and I have a lot more versatility.

So, if I go by the average FB photography posts...

"I got a new lens, I is a pro-photographer now!"

Well, I have more options to me now is more the point.. I am way too rusty so I need a lot more practice to get up to "Meh." level. But, I am liking my new Tamron 18-300mm.

It "looked" level. Till I ran a string level to actually level and the side closest to the camera was like 5" low. All gooder now, just need to get the last one in stones dumped.

A Study of Grass

Wide shot of the landscape with the wrong focus led to a close up cropping of the tall grasses. And to be honest I really like this happy little accident.
