Backyard Summer Nature in New Jersey.

As this doe was eating clover, she was being eaten by a swarm of flies. She didn’t have her fawn along this evening.

Backyard Late Spring Nature in New Jersey.

When I got home today, I saw a doe and two young fawns walking through my yard. I knew I didn’t have time to run and get a DSLR and telephoto so grabbed the Leica D-Lux 5 that I had in the car. I took the D-Lux 5 rather than the Leica X1, since the D-Lux 5 has zoom capabilities. I got a few images before they ran off. Once the doe realized I was near she got between me and the two fawns and then started pounding her front leg to let me know I was too close. Once they were gone, I walked the yard and got some macro images of wild strawberries, wild daisy flowers, and some small pink roses. What I didn’t realize was that the battery was low, and only got these images before the camera shut down.

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

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.

Backyard Springtime Wildlife in New Jersey.

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.

Indoor and Outdoor Wildlife in New Jersey.

Another macro image of a Scutigera Coleoptrata (House Centipede) crawling on the wall indoors. It is not a silverfish. Outside, I got to test out a new telephoto lens.
