David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of nature and the natural world. Plants, animals, and wildlife from around the world.
Sunrise and Sunset in Antwerp and some random images in Brussels. At one point I was chased away from a chocolate shop for trying to take a picture of their window display. Belgium Waffles and the famous Manneken Pis bronze statue.

Fawn with spots resting while munching grass. That year the grass was still green at this time of the summer. Image take with a Nikon D3x camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 160, 600 mm, f/4, 1/100 sec).
The group took Alaska Railroad train for a day trip to the Spencer Glacier in the Chugach National Forest. The glacier is only accessible as a “whistle stop” on the train line. A (sort of) time-lapse video of images from the day including Albert’s size 13 boot. A bit confusing and jerky because I was using two different cameras and lenses.
Chipping Sparrow. Image taken with a Nikon D3x and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 400, 600 mm, f/4, 1/50 sec) on a tripod, VR-ON, Mirror-UP. Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 6, Nik Define 2, and Photoshop CS5.
We finally got rain, thunder and lighting starting at 03:00 this morning. Found my newest house pet when opening the garage for the contractor this morning. Most of my grass is dry, and really need the rain. Yesterday while driving back from a breakfast in Rahway I noticed most of the fields with corn or soybeans were all brown. I so much don’t miss doing the commute anymore. An hour and a half to drive 35 miles, even knowing the back roads. I guess schools have started and everyone is back from summer vacations.
