David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Squirrel Eating an Acorn in a Tree in My Front Yard. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V1 camera and 200 mm f/2 VR lens connected with a FT1 adapter (ISO 100, 200 mm, f/2.5, 1/800 sec). With the Nikon 1 sensor size, the field of view is equivalent to 540 mm on a 35 mm sensor.
Wet Crested Caracara at Hosteria Helsingfors in Patagonia (southern Argentina). The bird was sitting outside the kitchen window in the rain (begging for bacon). Images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 55-200 mm lens (ISO 800, 200 mm, f/4.8, 1/30 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
I think I am going to like this lens. The images were taken hand-held with the optical image stabilization (OIS) on at 1/30 sec.
Early Morning Clouds in Patagonia. View from outside the Kau Yatun hotel before leaving for Helsingfors. Image taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 23 mm f/1.4 lens (ISO 400, 23 mm, f/8, 1/30 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
There is something special about the clouds in Patagonia. The wind coming over the mountains forms the lenticular clouds with their unique shapes. Also the sun coming over the mountains lights up the clouds with sometimes intense and unique colors.
Sunbeam in an Underground Kiva at Kelly’s Place near Cortez, Colorado. Image taken with a Nikon D3 camera and 14-24 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 200, 20 mm, f/2.8, 1/20 sec).
Black-capped Chickadee trying to keep warm above my doorway on a cold winter night. Image taken with a Nikon D300 and 18-200 mm VR lens (ISO 800, 200 mm, f/7, 1/60 sec, flash).
