David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of nature and the natural world. Plants, animals, and wildlife from around the world.
I was hiding behind the lens when I took this picture because I didn’t want to watch. Image taken with a Nikon D800 camera and 70-300 mm lens (ISO 400, 122 mm, f/5.6, 1/1500 sec). In the end, all three bulls died.
Northern Gannet in Flight. Viewed from deck 7 of the MV Explorer transiting the English Channel. Image taken with a Nikon D800 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 100, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/2000 sec).
Bumblebee approaching yellow wildflowers at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 80-400 mm VRII lens (ISO 200, 400 mm, f/5.6, 1/400 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC 2014.
Field Trip to visit the Cliffs of Moher. The lamb stew and Guinness made for a great lunch.
After arriving at Haines, Alaska we disembarked from the MV Columbia. I could have slept in the RV, but decided to splurge and spend the night at the Halsingland Hotel (B&B). They even put benchmarks in the ground to mark the location of hotels in Haines — 118 feet above mean sea level. I set a camera up looking out my window to capture night sky star trails. I also managed to capture Northern Lights which I was not expecting.
