    I was nervous to take the class, afraid my lack of knowledge in photography would show, but was very pleased to find that the instructor was more than glad to assist me & answer my many questions. I left knowing more than I thought I would.

    Well, I was out looking for the Indigo Bunting bird, and I looked up on the line and saw this bird instead. I didn?t know what kind it was until zoomed in on my camera lens and I grabbed a few shots before it flew away. I was very happy to catch this shot! Especially this angle with the green trees in the background. I thought it was a perfect backdrop.

    This photo was taken with a Sony A7V and a 70-200 2.8GM at 1/2000, @f2.8, ISO 2500. I took these photos around 3:35pm in the rain! This guy lives in a tree next to my house and I feed them everyday. I was trying to capture a head-on shot of him looking right at me, and it came out perfectly! Shooting 30 FPS allowed me to capture every step of his take off! Cardinals and BlueJays are my favorite to capture!

    Title or Location: Taken in Richmond, Ky at Camp Catalpa Bird Sanctuary.
    This was my first time seeing an Eagle in the wild that wasn't off in the distance. She sat there for over an hour just letting me take as many pictures as I wanted. Calling out at one point then launching herself off the branch with a powerful liftoff. And, I got it all on camera! I've been out there every day since with only missing her one of the days. I've deemed her Wilma.

    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
