PESO - Red Maple

That's yummy, Rick ..  and glad you can still  hold a K-5 with an 80-320 :-) ann On 4/25/2022 4:20 PM, Rick Womer wrote: We have a red maple in front of our house, whose seeds are developing colorfully. Today I photographed it through a third-floor window with the K-5 and my 80-320 lens.

Re: PESO - Red Maple

Well done, Rick. I also have an FA 80-320 - IMHO quite an under-rated lens. I "upgraded" to an HD 55-300 a few years ago but often wonder why, although the 55 make it a little more versatile. Alan C On 25-Apr-22 10:20 PM, Rick Womer wrote: We have a red maple in front of our house, whose

We have a red maple in front of our house, whose seeds are developing colorfully. Today I photographed it through a third-floor window with the K-5 and my 80-320 lens. https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2022/April-2022/Flowering-Trees/i-Nxc9TW4/A Comments always appreciated! Rick -- %(real_name)s

Re: PESO - Red Maple

Thanks, Toine. Our tree is about 10 years old, so I was able to take this from the ground, using the 50-200 almost fully zoomed out. Alas in just two days the seeds have dried and lost a lot of their color. I may play with some cropping, though. Rick > On Apr 10, 2021, at 2:30 PM, Toine

Re: PESO - Red Maple

Nice capture and patterns. I wanted to suggest for a second shot to get closer for a view on the propellors but most likely this taken from a height (open window) which would create a safety challenge. On Sat, 10 Apr 2021, 20:00 Rick Womer, wrote: > The red maple in front of our house was

The red maple in front of our house was covered with blossoms last week, and with winged seeds yesterday: https://rickwomer.smugmug.com/2021/April-2021/April-Flowers/i-HJ5SkcD/A (K-5, DA 50-200) Rude jeers, thoughtful commentary, and wild applause all wecomed. Rick -- %(real_name)s
