David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of nature and the natural world. Plants, animals, and wildlife from around the world.
Navajo “Tree of Life” Hand Woven Rug. Image taken with a Nikon D3s camera and 50 mm lens (ISO 200, 50 mm, f/5.6, 1/15 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro and Photoshop CC.
Time-Lapse Video of Noctilucent Clouds taken from the deck of the MV Explorer while traveling across the Baltic Sea. Images taken with a Nikon Df camera with a 24 mm f/3.5 PC-E lens and a Fuji XT1 camera with a 23 mm f/1.4 lens. Images processed with Capture One Pro, Photoshop CC, Premiere Pro CC, and After Effects CC. I used the warp filter in After Effects to stabilize the images taken on the deck of a moving ship.
Funky inverted mushroom in my yard. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 11-23 mm lens (ISO 100, 23 mm, f/6.3, 1/40 sec). Image processed with Capture One Pro.
This mushroom just popped up overnight. It is about 6 inches across. A week ago one popped up and the next morning it was gone — dinner for some critter. The spores for the mushroom probably came with the black wood mulch.
Time-Lapse Video: Day in the life of paper wasps. Images taken every 30 seconds with a Nikon D3x camera and 105 mm f/2.8 VR macro lens (+ TC-E 20 III and SB-910 flash). You can see the larger larva stick their head out for a meal.
Firefly Trails. Backyard Summer Nature in New Jersey. Composite of 250 images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 55-200 mm lens (ISO 1600, 100 mm, f/8, 30 sec). Raw images processed with Capture One Pro then combined with Photoshop CC (statistics/maximum).
