Day 163

Monday, June 13, 2011

This is a blossom on one of the trees in the backyard. (1/45, f22, 85mm, ISO 1000, -1/2 stop) It was very dull lighting.  I needed to use a high ISO (sensitivity) to handle my small aperture that I needed to try to get the whole flower in focus, hence it is a little grainy […]

Day 159

Sunday, June 5, 2011

Here are the chicks the killdeer were trying to keep me from.  They don’t stand even four inches tall, but were running all over the place! (1/2000, f8, 400mm, ISO 400, -1/2 stop) There were two chicks (at least) running around, but I was never able to get both of them in focus in the […]

Day 158

Sunday, June 5, 2011

Closer to home, I found a couple killdeer up behind Giant Springs this morning. (1/1000, f5.6, 135mm, ISO 100, -1/2 stop) He was puffing himself up trying to distract me from the chicks (I wasn’t near the nest) while I was changing my lens, then he never did it again… (1/1500, f8, 400mm, ISO 250, […]

Hey, Mister!  Mister Osprey! (1/8000, f8, 400mm, ISO 500) When I grow up can I be a big Osprey like you? Huh? (1/8000, f8, 400mm, ISO 500) Can I, Mister?  Huh, huh? Can I?  Mister? <<sigh>> (1/8000, f8, 400mm, ISO 500) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
