Took the camera for a walk yesterday..

and found a few interesting subjects.

Snow Blossoms

Someone went south!

The goldfinches found the feeders when I returned

My "boys" have a whole bunch of antlers in the garage - I think I'll take a cue from Finnbay and put a couple out by the feeders - they certainly look better than these old feeders!

I like that 2nd one,looks like he's wearing a stocking hat. Nice job.

BTW,you might want to give your sensor a blast of air. F32 shows the nasty stuff we all have to deal with.

Yeah, I saw that on a few other shots, figured I'd get to that tomorrow - can you tell me what F32 refers to? I'm thinking an area of the sensor/image??

Aperture is what f32 is about. The narrower you stop down a lens (and the greater the depth of focus that results), the more you can see dust spots on the sensor. Spots that are invisible at f2.8 leap out at you at f16 and up.
