Thanks, Rich. I was out again today for a somewhat longer ride and it went fine too. I’m definitely on the mend, but not there yet. I tried biking without the brace today but quickly realized it’s too soon for that.
1 year agoExactly. I’m sure there’s a name for this position. This is a bird you can watch for up there, btw.
1 year agoYoga bird!
1 year agoGreat to read that you’re healing!
1 year agoEven with the shutter button halfway down it seems like mine continues to hunt for something to focus on. Maybe I need to try some more.
1 year agoYup. It’s the first goose of any kind this year. We just haven’t been in the right environment for them.
1 year agoIt’s a problem with the complex subject matter - it can’t tell that I want it to focus on the bird instead of the branches. In general though, you can control the focus by partly depressing the shutter button when centered on the subject you want to focus on. It will lock in on that spot as you reframe the shot, until you release it or take the shot.
Also, it helps to hold the shot in focus for a second or two before shooting while the camera figures everything out and optimizes the settings.
Hard for me to believe that's the first one for you this time around!
They are a year round hazard here in southwest Ohio, dropping goose grenades all along any bike path near water as well. (And it seems most bike paths follow rivers/streams)
I'm actually heartened to see this, as I've noticed the autofocus on my new LUMIX is sometimes a bit iffy. I haven't yet figured out how to use the manual focus mode to force the focus to do what I want, but there's still time to learn.
1 year agoYech.
1 year agoGlad to read of your safe arrival. Its great fun following you around Tucson, virtually and irl.
1 year agoThat's a good pile of snow. Note that most of that will end up in Lake Shasta. It's been a relatively good year for rain/snow in California, so far!
1 year agoNice shot!
1 year agoThat's actually not that low for Lake Shasta, historically speaking. It looks worse than it is. I've seen it much, much lower in the past few years.

Congrats on breaking the century mark for your bird list!
