David's Images of the Day Photoblog
My phone died last week, and won’t have internet access at home for a month. So I will upload images when I find WiFi hotspots that don’t block me for transferring too much data. This is a set of poppies from my wildflower patch before the deer and rabbits got hungry. I also have several time-lapsed videos of the poppies opening which I will post later. Individual images in the slide show can be viewed here.
Wet Poppy Angel in the Rain. Image taken with a Nikon D810a camera and 60 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 200, 60 mm, f/4, 1/800 sec).
Native and Natural Lawn Service. So far she is staying away from my new wildflowers. Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 600 mm VR lens (ISO 900, 600 mm, f/4, 1/640 sec).
Time-lapse side-show of a pink poppy opening. Even though this looks like it is happening in daylight, the poppy flowers start to open in the very early dawn. I set the camera ISO to auto and let it ride to the maximum. Individual images can be viewed here.
Time-Lapse video of a Poppy flower opening. I had to get up early (~ 5 AM) to catch this. Nikon D800 camera and 105 mm f/2.8 macro lens (ISO Auto, 105 mm, f/8, 1/125 sec) taking images every 6 seconds for about 90 minutes. I see another flower will probably open tomorrow, so I plan to try it again.
