David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of food from around the world
Yucca Bloom After Being Nibbled by the Deer. Image taken with a Nikon D800 camera and 300 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 400, 300 mm, f/2.8, 1/200 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
For my backyard walkabout today I used a Leica T camera with a wide-angle 11-23 mm zoom lens. I was pleased that I could focus this lens at relatively close distances. This first image is of a yellow California poppy flower. The first of these that I was fully open this season. These flowers close at night, and when cold — so I was glad to see it open this morning. You can read between the lines that I was happy that the sun was out this morning. Many more images of red and pink poppies. I planted four tomato seedlings. We will see if they make it this year. Progress is being made with the home renovation — the first section of the copper gutter was installed, and the first stone step to the patio was installed.
Pub Lunch After a Photowalk in Dublin. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and 10 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 3200, 10 mm, f/4, 1/25 sec). Converted to B&W with Nik Silver Efex Pro II. Semester at Sea, Spring 2013 Enrichment Voyage.
Female Red-Winged Blackbird with a Green Caterpillar for Breakfast and Reflection 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, 1/2000 sec).
I went for a walkabout in my backyard with the Nikon 1 V3 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens. Plants, flowers, mushrooms, and a deer.
