“Sydney Dog”
Sometimes Sydney thinks she is a dog and barks at people. While playing duck duck goose, it was a puppy instead that got unleashed and chased after me. And Alice….doing what she usually does—hanging with Heather.

Thanks everyone.
Tammy: Even though it might look like I used a fish-eye lens it was actually just a 17mm lens on a full frame digital 35mm camera (so the field of view was actually that of a 17mm lens). As you already know, the distortion you are seeing is from me using the lens at an angle (when using this lens straight it has nearly no distortion). The funny thing is that in technical terms this is considered a flaw by lens manufacturers and they try to minimize this behavior in most lenses. Ironically though this is why I like the lens. Sorry for the long reply, but I figured you asked about the lens because of the weird look of the photo.
By the way, sweet hummingbird photo. I can never seem to time taking the photo of those fast little buggers.

No… thank you so much for replying and taking the time to explain to me how you do the things you do. My first instinct was a fish eye lens. I defiantly applaud you for this technique. Great work as always. Your work brings so much joy to so many people and it inspires me in so many ways. Count me as your #1 fan!
Thank you so much for the compliment on the hummingbird! I think I took a dozen or so shots that day of the same bird. She had finally held still long enough for me to take the shot. The clarity isn’t that great do to the distance, but oh well.
