It is sad. Thanks for stopping by! We are expecting a hurricane evacuation soon, so will likely evacuate tomorrow or Sunday! I will try to pop in and make comments while we are away!

So true. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. We are right in line with the hurricane and are preparing to evacuate.

Ah, yes. Raw is the only way to go for you to be making all your own creative decisions about each image. Just like Ansel Adams! Lol! I used spot metering all the time with my 5D Mk II, but have to figure

You are welcome!

Aw, that’s a shame. Yes, it may have to do with the speed of your connection.

You were honored by such rare creatures being so interested in you. Perhaps they too were thinking that you are a rare creature they haven’t seen in years! 😊

Maybe I should do that when I'm watching TV instead of playing Words with Friends on my Kindle. LOL! On the other hand, thayt's my only game and I enjoy it!

Latest models put it about halfway up Florida, but it's a bit far out yet to be certain. we'll get bad weather wherever it hits, I'm sure! Part of life in Florida is watching the Weather Channel! LOL!

Maybe I'll be using them to shoot a hurricane!

I agree. The rich will get richer and the poor get poorer. I can see that the cash flow has to come from somewhere. I can't see that this is going to encourage those worth a lot of Steem power to Upvote

Nice yellow things and great shots! Today must be the day of the bee! LOL!

Thanks! Yes, the butterfly and the bee are both extremely sharp at 100% in Photoshop! That was my first trial with my existing macro lens. I haven't tried the new lenses yet. I expect they will be good.

Thank you. Resized for Steemit though.

So, you're the one I come to with questions then? LOL! Most things are the same as I'm used to , so I dial by instinct . The only thing that I really need to get used to is how you choose the focus point

That's a fun thing to do. I sometimes raise Monarchs from eggs gathered from my garden. I usually do it in the spring and the early summer to give them a head start in our neighborhood. Then I leave it

Good for you! One of my uncles used to like knitting! I used to do it all once upon a time, but not so much now, I started to knit some scarves for the homeless in our area last year. I really should finish

I resized those quite a bit for Steemit too. The full sized ones in Photoshop are tack sharp!

Thanks! There is always a bit of a learning curve, but I have always used Canons. That makes it easy to use the dials. A couple of things are different = like the focusing, but that will come. We will

Aw, that was wonderful. I like how you told a story as you showed each photograph. We have anoles ( a type of small lizard) here which change color with the environment. They are not chameleons, but people

And my old favorite f1.4 50mm lens is extremely light too. On the 80D it becomes 80mm!
