David's Images of the Day Photoblog
I had gone for a walkabout at the Sourland Mountain Preserve. There was a family of Canada Geese swimming in the pond near the parking lot. After trying a number of different angles, I finally managed to catch them in formation. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V1 + FT1 adapter + 70-200 mm f/2.8 VRII lens (ISO 400, 200 mm, f/5.6, 1/320 sec). FOV = 540 mm with a 35 mm sensor.
Rhododendron Flowers after a Rainstorm. These blooms were high enough that the deer couldn’t eat them. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 11-23 mm lens (ISO 100, 23 mm, f/5.6, 1/500 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
Emerging tree sprouting spring leaves that the survived the flooding along Rock Brook. Image taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 23 mm f/1.4 lens (ISO 200, 23 mm, f/16, 1/17 sec).
Pair of Eastern Carpenter Bees Mating. Note the orange light under the male’s abdomen. The light was not there in the frame before or after. Backyard spring nature in New Jersey. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V3 camera and 70-300 mm VR lens (ISO 160, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/160 sec). Raw image processed with Lightroom, Capture One Pro, Nik Define, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
There were hundreds of Robins in my backyard. Although a few stay for the winter, the majority migrate and spent the winter in Florida. Image taken with a Nikon Df camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 100, 600 mm, f/4, 1/320 sec).
