Sumpter Narrow Guage Train

 

These two are very similar, but one with a deep DOF, one with a narrow DOF. I should have taken many more photos with a smaller aperture = deeper DOF, but hindsight is always perfectly in focus.

 

 

And the scenery was fabulous even without a train in it.

Trying to learn to use a new complicated camera. I think this little sparrow (Lincoln's?) might be my favorite shot of all time. No one else seems to think it's all that special. It's a little OOF, but I think I like that it's got depth and, I think, nice color

This cormorant looks like he's at the bottom of the pile. I assume that white stuff isn't what it looks like. The focus is on his wing instead of his face, still pretty impressive.

I've gone to this one spot repeatedly trying to get a shot of a little heron that is often there, but he always flies away. I got one of him sitting and one flying away - again, thanks to the new camera.

 

Look at the water dribbling off the lower duck's beak.
