David's Images of the Day Photoblog
The invasive “mile-a-minute” has become a problem. It was transported into the yard a few years ago by the deer. It grows even faster than the wild grape and poison ivy vines. It has already killed several trees and bushes in the rear section of my yard. In the fall, the vine dies and turns brown, but the damage is already done.
Star Trails and Time-lapse Video using the new Nikon Df camera and the 58 mm f/1.4G lens that came with the camera.
Into the Vortex. Early Morning Backyard Star Trails (and one meteor trail). Composite of 300 images taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 14-24 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 100, 14 mm, f/4, 59 sec) over a 5 hour period combined using startrails.exe.
Pine cones in the afternoon sun. Images taken with a Nikon D2xs camera and 80-400 mm VR lens.
I went out for a walk this morning in the local Sourland Mountain Preserve. I was stalking a small Green Heron trying to get some images of it catching a fish or frog. All of a sudden there was a commotion in the middle of the pond. Two Canada Geese started a full out smackdown. It was like a junior high school fight. The other geese in the pond formed a circle and made noises supporting their team. The small Green Heron didn’t know what to think.
I used the images taken with a Nikon N1 V2 camera, FT1 adapter, and 180 mm f/2.8D lens to create a short time-lapse video.
