David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Stone Pathway in a Wooded Park — Gdansk, Poland. Image taken with a Leica X2 camera (ISO 400, 24 mm, f/4, 1/250 sec). In camera B&W JPG image.
Arctic Tern Ready to Attack. We were on a bird watching Field Trip in Isafjordur (Ísafjörður) and apparently got too close to the Arctic Tern’s nest. They would dive bomb and try to peck your head. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 100, 300 mm, f/4, 1/2500 sec). Raw image processes with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
I am back home after an extended voyage on the Semester at Sea MV Explorer. Over 52 days the Spring 2013 Enrichment Voyage visited 19 countries (Spain, Monaco, Italy, Spain, Gibraltar, Morocco, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, England, Norway, Latvia, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany). The Garmin GPS that I carried recorded 24539 miles (10068 miles by air, 9216 miles at sea, 2457 miles by car, 1800 miles by bus, 819 miles by train, 46 miles by ferry, and 133 miles by foot). Using five cameras (including my smart phone) I took over 60K images taking up almost all of a 1.5 TB external hard drive. Internet access on the ship was slow so I didn’t make many posts. I plan to go back and post images from the trip over the next few days and weeks.
