David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Wild Blackberries while on a hike at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 2000, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/1250 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
Kermit the Bullfrog in the pond at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 180, 300 mm, f/2.8, 1/1250 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
Waning Gibbous Moon. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera FT1 adapter, 500 mm f/4 VR lens, and 2.0 TC-E adapter (ISO 160, 1000 mm, f/8, 1/250 sec). The field of view for this setup is equivalent to 2700 mm on a 35 mm/full frame camera. The other neat thing about this setup is there is no mirror or shutter vibration. The Nikon 1 series of cameras are mirrorless, and have an electronic shutter option. I could barely get all of the moon in the frame.
Hairstreak (?) Butterfly caught by a very well camouflaged Insect (or is it a Spider). The decoy on the back of the wings of the butterfly didn’t help to keep it safe. Image taken with a Nikon N1 V3 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/500 sec).
Robber Fly with a meal. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 800, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/320 sec).
