David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Local Rabbit at Sunrise. Image taken with a Nikon D810a camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 1600, 600 mm, f/4, 1/1000 sec). If you look closely, you can see the reflection of my house in the rabbit’s eye. I miss having several friends join me for sunrise on the ship. Now at least I have a Jersey rabbit that is willing to be a model.
Blue Grosbeak in Southern Texas. Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 800, 600 mm, f/5.6, 1/2000 sec).
Green Jay at Dos Venadas Ranch in Southern Texas. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 500 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 450, 500 mm, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec). I had never seen this type of Jay before. Apparently it is only in Northern Mexico and Southern Texas.
Bronzed Cowbird and Reflection at Dos Venadas Ranch in Southern Texas. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 500 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 220, 500 mm, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec).
Field Trip to Keukenhof Tulip Gardens. We were lucky as this was the last day of the season that the gardens were open. We got there early and there were already many bus loads of tourists that arrived before us. The gardens are large enough that it was not too crowded once we got inside. I will have to say that there were some “ugly tourists” that walked right into the flower gardens. There was also an Indian wedding party where the photographer had the full entourage stand in the middle of a patch of tulips. I don’t know how many flowers got trampled. ARRG!!!
