David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Views of nature and the natural world. Plants, animals, and wildlife from around the world.
It was cloudy and rained much of the day. I did get a chance to photograph a rabbit in my backyard as it was mowing my grass and clover. Also an image of some wet fast growing tree leaves.
Today, I am posting some images of white-tailed deer in my backyard. The images were processed with Capture One Pro to get the single color and black & white effect.
I’ve never been able to get a picture of an American Gold Finch in my backyard. I’ve seen them, but they never stay in one place long enough to focus. Now that I have the adapter to have the new telephoto lens on a Gitzo Tripod with a Wimbly mount, I was able to get this image of four American Gold Finches. They were in the top of a tree approximately 150 feet from my deck.
A back-lit image of a Maple Leaf. The light was going down fast, and I had to get this quickly — thus handheld with a heavy lens. A macro image from 15 feet.
More testing out my new telephoto lenses. I don’t have the Kirk Arca-Swiss adapters, so the images were taken hand-held using the lens vibration reduction (VR) to stabilize the image.
