First light in the Lyman greenhouses just touching the trays of tulips. This is Tulipa x 'Double Maureen,' a gorgeous, double white tulip with green accents.
First light breaking over the himalayas. Read more about it at my photoblog www.arrivalsanddepartures.com/
First rays of the sun hitting the half-submerged tree trunk, making it look like a zombie hand out of a horror movie, one cold and foggy December morning at the coast of Leptokarya, northern Greece.
first in the garden, Very late this year, usually fully out in late Feb, got 150 regular ones in the garden all not ready as yet
First time attempting to grow some of my own veggies. I'm delighted when I saw this beauty emerge. How does a tomato even grow, let alone turn from green to yellow? Seems rather miraculous to me. Can't wait to taste it with the purple basil and other herbs!
I took this, along with some others, in low light this morning. Trying to get the hang of flight shots. Very high ISO, but the focus appeared to work pretty well. Really liking the increased speed of locking on!
Bringing my own handmade pose into SL for the first time. Feel free to tell me what I could improve here.
Candy in the deep sea of sunflowers....
in the sunlight coming from beyond the surface of this green ocean, a pretty cool place to run and hide!
The first of the four Peregrine Falcon fledglings is taking his first, short flight. He might be the first born too, out of the nest one day before the other three.
Note that there are still many down feathers under the wings and on top of his head.
Thanks for stopping by.
Lens: smc Pentax-DAL 50-200mm f/4.6-6 ED WR
I bought this lens for a super bargain price. Basically it got bad reviews because the focus mechanism is noisy which it is. I was thinking about selling as I never really use it but with this photo I'm somewhat impressed so I think I will keep and use it.
These are the first of many to come. I spotted under a Doublefile Viburnum at the corner of the house. Hopefully we will have many more.

A Chicago & North Western coal empty heads south out of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on December 11, 1993. Brand new C&NW GE C44-9W No. 8603 is on its very first revenue trip, paired up with much grittier C&NW EMD GP7 No. 4323, with 107 cars.
Tecumseh, Nebraska
Another picture in my series of rural Nebraska churches photographed at night. This is the last of the buildings I took pictures of in Tecumseh. I decided that since I had made the long drive to Tecumseh in the middle of the night, I was going to make it worthwhile by visiting all of the churches in town. I liked the lit up stained glass windows at this church.
This is an HDR bracketed exposure of 4 photos of the building and the surrounding area. The HDR composite was put together in Lightroom. The sky is a composite of 8 photos taken at 20 seconds, ISO 1600, for noise reduction. The sky photos were taken on my way home about 20 miles outside of town get away from the light pollution of any nearby towns.
The sky photos were composited in Photoshop and the overall picture was composited in Photoshop.
First Water Cove. Canyon Lake Arizona. The Fountain Grass growing along the shore is an invasive species of grass. It's pretty, but not exactly a good thing. Way to many invasive non native plants in Arizona.
Log 2.002.1: Turned out to be a planet, no signs of intelligent life at this point. That means no hope in fixing what was broken from the wormhole jump. There are some interesting plants and minerals here, and I'm pretty sure the ship can refine some of them into fuel. The air isn't breathable, so I've got to keep my time on the surface short and only get what I need.
Using the Sony 1.4 TC. Forced at f/9 in lousy light but I had my shutter up hoping it would fly. In any case, I really don't notice any reduction in sharpness or focus speed in using it. That is a good thing using the full-frame A9...
