Day 004!

Wednesday, January 5, 2011

I caught sight of a female Common Merganser down by the River.  Here are two interpretations of that photo.  Note the foot in a running takeoff position under the body! The first one is re-sized to 60 percent, as I recall. (1/1500, f8, 250mm, ISO 400) This is the same photo, processed differently.  It is […]

Saturday, January 1, 2011

!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Since I am still laid up a bit (the knee is much better today; I can walk, limpingly, without crutches or a cane!) I probably won’t get outside to take something in the snow, so I will go with these… New’s Year’s Day is usually when my bride takes down the Christmas […]
