Ontos's Photos

[ontos]

Thanks guys, I think the bird is a Finch, I'll have to check it out on the web. This time of year I get different kinds of birds I haven't had before. I'll have to clean my windows so I can get some better shots. LOL

I was on the computer working on a Spitfire Skin, when I heard some loud props. Grabbed my camera ran out and caught this. Sorry for the blur, the lens I had on the camera was the standard 75-300 with no IS. I also had to take a shot on my Wren living in the eves.

I think that's a Chinook Skycrane. Very cool Ontos and good shot of the wren to.

That looks like a Sikorsky S-64, we have those up here operated by Erickson Air-Crane service.

What I find interesting, is the hose is extended...was there a fire nearby?

 

[ontos]

They had a fire just south in Orange County. Two of them flew over but I didn't have time to change lenses. It was about 1630 hrs getting getting dark, I got in too much in a hurry to get the shot I think.

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

I do believe you're rite Dave, sorry Ontos.

 

[ontos]

Thats OK Aaron, I can't tell one horse from another.

 

[GrauGeist]

Hey, they're not bad shots...just if the light isn't as strong, keep in mind the shutter will be a bit slower, and get your camera on something solid, like the roof of a car or a fencepost, etc...

I have a nice shot of a Sikorsky that was taking off from Redding Airport while I was waiting for the Collings Foundation to land, back in June...I'll post that over in my photograph thread, if you want to compare!

Here are some more garden shots.

It was raining today so I thought I would take a shot of my Rain Chain, I added a couple of moon shots to.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Excellent!

Do the "rain chains" work well??

 

[Aaron Brooks Wolters]

Ontos, your moon shots look better than mine!! Way to go!!

 

[ontos]

The rain chain works good when it's not really pouring. It seems to add a calming effect to watch the water come down, like a zen thing, relaxing. I would like to get another one for the opposite side of the patio.

Thanks for the complement Aaron. 8)

Outstanding shots of the moon!, Really nice

Most often, when I hear rain, I get annoyed automatically, because I know I have to be working in it...but if I stop and remember when I was young and enjoyed the the rain, it's not so bad after all...

Nice shots!
