David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Duckling Nursery in a Marsh at Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge located in North Central Colorado. From the Summer of 2008. Image taken with a Nikon D300 and 80-400 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 400 mm, f/8, 1/500 sec).
Funky inverted mushroom in my yard. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 11-23 mm lens (ISO 100, 23 mm, f/6.3, 1/40 sec). Image processed with Capture One Pro.
This mushroom just popped up overnight. It is about 6 inches across. A week ago one popped up and the next morning it was gone — dinner for some critter. The spores for the mushroom probably came with the black wood mulch.
Time-Lapse Video: Day in the life of paper wasps. Images taken every 30 seconds with a Nikon D3x camera and 105 mm f/2.8 VR macro lens (+ TC-E 20 III and SB-910 flash). You can see the larger larva stick their head out for a meal.
Grey Catbird trying to distracting me from its nest. Image taken with a Nikon D4 camera and 80-400 mm VRII lens (ISO 1600, 400 mm, f/5.6, 1/40 sec). Hand-held, the vibration reduction on this new lens is good.
Firefly Trails. Backyard Summer Nature in New Jersey. Composite of 250 images taken with a Fuji X-T1 camera and 55-200 mm lens (ISO 1600, 100 mm, f/8, 30 sec). Raw images processed with Capture One Pro then combined with Photoshop CC (statistics/maximum).
