David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Moving and Still Waters. Merced river in Yosemite National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D3 camera and 24 mm f/3.5 PC-E lens (ISO 200, 24 mm, f/16, 2 sec).
Tourist Trap, Santa Village in Rovaniemi, Finland. The white line marking the Arctic Circle that just happens to lead to Santa’s Workshop is off by 50 meters (~150 feet). After entering the “free” Disney like/horror house and finally reach Santa’s chamber you find out that no cameras are allowed, and you need to pay 40 euros to have you picture taken next to Santa. There were several folks with me that wanted to take my picture next to Santa to compare beards. We walked out. The next day my beard fell off… Image taken with a Fuji XT1 camera and Bower 8 mm fisheye lens (ISO 400, 8 mm, f/8, 1/4000 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC 2014.
A short time-lapse video taken with a Fuji XT1 camera and Bower 8 mm f/2.8 fisheye lens. Viking boat ride in Rovaniemi. Like Hitchcock, I did a cameo at the end.
Late at night (04:43) they finally found an empty berth on the sleeper car on the overnight train from Helsinki to Rovaniemi. I got to share a sleeper berth with the picture of a Dog rather than a Bed. Image taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 400, 24 mm, f/2.8, 1/30 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 7, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
Kermit the Bullfrog in a pond at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 400 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 560, 400 mm, f/8, 1/400 sec).
