Being bold with my "Good Lady” (Pentax-A 20mm F2.8), in a noisy environment and with a distraction of a mobile, can yield potentially wonderful results.

I'm literally inches away from this guy and he didn't know I was there, so I managed this candid portrait of him.

the story behind the photo, a few days ago I got some close up photos of humming birds at these feeders. Since then I have had no luck seeing them

today, as I approached, I saw one and decide to see what I could do

of course by the time I got close, it had left and never came back

so I decided to crop

Hi Dave

They still look ok to me
looks like you had fun

This was shot with my “Sweetheart” (Pentax-A* 85mm F1.4)... so I was far enough back.

movie night requires pizza, which requires a run into town to pick up said pizza

(we did not have pizza from this establishment, just thought the cluster of signage was interesting)
