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.
Tree Swallow Watching its Nest. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V1 camera and 85 mm f/1.4G lens with FT1 adapter (ISO 100, 85 mm, f/4, 1/2500 sec). FOV equiv to 230 mm on a 35 mm camera body.
Volunteer Azalea Blooms. Image taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 60 mm f/2.4 macro lens (ISO 200, 60 mm, f/16, 1/6 sec). For years the deer have decimated my Azalea plants during the winter. This spring I removed the old dead plants. Yesterday, I noticed these blooms only a couple of inches off the ground on some volunteer Azalea plants. If you look close in the left flower, there is a caterpillar looking for lunch.
Backlit spring afternoon maple leaf. Image taken with a Nikon D2xs camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens (ISO 100, 300 mm, f/5.3, 1/125 sec).
American Robin Swallowing a Worm (or is it a Catapiller?). I’ve been trying to figure out what the Robins and Crows have been finding to eat in my backyard. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 600 mm f/4 VR lens (ISO 1600, 600 mm, f/4, 1/2000 sec). Note this is a 100% crop.
