These birds were trapped on a Compact flash card for 3 days !!! All my fault !!

Finally I got a chance to release them to your view this morning. It looked kinda interesting to me, so I decided to make it the photo of the day. - The bird looking at me happens to be somewhat coincidental, though I was focusing on it.

Doing my snap for the day early today, got to work tonight

Taste the Thunder !

A thunderstorm battered our area yesterday night, I would have loved if I could set this in a dramatic backdrop (An open grassland, or may be on top of Denver skyline?) - but all I could manage is this :-)

P.S : Thank you very much for all the comments !!

As I got some questions, will try to explain how to do this. There are a few ways to get such a shot, this is what I used 

Mount the camera on tripod and point it somewhere which is high probability of lightning 
Set the aperture to min what your camera allows - this varies according to focal length - so if you are at 17mm you will get 32 or 36 and when you go to 300mm you can get 45. As this is going to be wide angle mostly you have to go with 32.

Set the shutter timing to BULB
Use a remote shutter release, and keep the shutter open till you get a lightning 
It works better if your scene is dark enough, else you might get over exposure with BULB

There might be some ways of getting a better contrast (I am hoping some one can tell me)

A train from the past :-)

Spotted this near Denver International Airport, and the sun forced me to pull over my car to get a shot of this.

Yet another butterfly ! - I am amazed by butterflies - Nature is so creative !

I am probably going to be drowned in work for next few days. I will try my best to catch up with all your pictures early morning/late evening.

16th St Denver in the night - I love this shot because I exposed it longer to get the clouds moving and it came just like I wanted. It was a beautiful breezy Saturday and a perfect time to take a stroll on the mall street

Happy Monday Again :-)

Hanging in there - 

This is my second butterfly for the week. Have been working hard last 2 days and had no time to even take the camera out. So Butterfly it is, from last Saturday :-)

These butterflies are so amazingly colorful, and these are very very gentle paced. They hardly fly !!! - may be because of the chunky body :-)
