David's Images of the Day Photoblog
I finally spotted a Clearwing Hummingbird Moth today at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. The Fuji X-T1 does not focus as fast as my Nikon camera bodies, but I was able to get two images before it flew off. It was extracting nectar from a Blue Chicory flower. In the past I have found them working the Thistle blooms. Summer Nature in New Jersey. Images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 100-400 mm OIS lens.
Walkabout at the Sourland Mountain Preserve this morning. Images of Dragonflies (having sex), Butterflies, a Canada Goose with an attitude, and a frog. Images of the Clearwing Hummingbird Moth, American Goldfinch, and my Troll with some large white mushrooms are in different posts. Images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 100-400 mm OIS lens.

Ten images from a walkabout through old town Gdańsk with a Fuji X-T1 camera. Semester at Sea, Summer 2014 voyage. The city was on holiday for the St Dominic’s festival. We sat out in front of a small restaurant having pizza waiting for one of our own running in the 20th Annual Solidarity Marathon.

Spider Web. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera, FT1 adapter, and 70-300 mm VR lens. (185 mm, equivalent to 500 mm on a 35 mm sensor).
Kermit the Bullfrog in the pond at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. Images taken with a Nikon 1 V1 camera + FT1 adapter + 70-300 mm VR lens.
Five uncropped images at different focal lengths. Because of the smaller size sensor on the Nikon 1 camera the equivalent field of view (FOV) is 2.7x larger than with a full frame (35 mm) sensor camera. The equivalent FOV for the following images are: 70 mm (~190 mm); 100 mm (~270 mm); 135 mm (~365 mm); 200 mm (~540 mm); 300 mm (~810 mm). I don’t think anyone could hand-hold a 800 mm lens on a 35 mm DSLR camera for very long, let alone go for a long hike.
