Day 231: 15 minutes ago…

Saturday, September 6, 2014

I took this photo in our front yard about 15 minutes ago.  I cropped it to 1440×960.  The image is full sized.  I didn’t do anything else to it.  I love this lens. (1/1500s f/5.6 ISO320 300mm (70-300mm L)Canon 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Details of a Whale slap! We were so close that most of these I had to reduce in size: a 100% crop wouldn’t fit on the screen! *** *** *** *** *** *** ~Curtis, Whalin’ in Alaska! {!-{>
