David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Acorn Woodpecker Stashing Acorns and Pine Nuts in a Dead Tree. Yosemite Valley, Fall 2008. Image taken with a Nikon D300 camera and 80-400 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 400 mm, f/8, 1/320 sec).
My final day on the road before attending a scientific meeting in San Francisco. For whatever reason, I didn’t take any pictures while in San Francisco. After the meeting, the camera came back out for the return trip to New Jersey. Images for this post include three from Humboldt-Redwoods State forest and thirteen from along the coast. When reviewing the images again for this post I realized many of the images were not in focus. I obviously wasn’t or didn’t know how to think about composition.

Our third stop on the second day of the Eastern Sierra Photo Workshop at Bodie State Historic park. This is a gold mining ghost town maintained by California in a state of arrested development or decline. There are lots, and lots of folks that visit to photograph the many buildings and artifacts in the park, so you often have to wait to get images free of tourists or other photographers. After a while, I didn’t mind including people in the images to give prospective. This is part three of three sets of images from Bodie.

Female Grouse Hiding in the Grass. Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 24 mm f/1.4 lens (ISO 800, 24 mm, f/16, 1/50 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC. It was really hard getting close to the bird with a wide lens… Note that I initially thought this was a Ruffed Grouse, but after reviewing location maps, think it is a Sooty Grouse. Thoughts???
