By norconkm | 12/23/2015 - 6:00 am |12/22/2015 daily photo

There’s something about brightly colored buildings on cliffs over the sea that makes them fun to look at.  The second southernmost town in Cinque Terre, Manarola. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm, f/16, 1/20 sec, ISO 100

A gerenuk… which is a very odd looking creature that mostly reminds me of the reindeer in the old Rudolph movie.  Not exactly sure why. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/1000 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 1600

Duh… Dum… Duh… Dum… Hippo.  I wish the nearer eye was open, but it was not taking requests.  From Animal Kingdom back in 2006 when I first had a fancy camera and long lens. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/1000 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 1600

We finally got our second snowfall of the season down (or up, depending on origin) here in Grand Rapids.  So, now that it’s kind of like winter, I’ll post a spring photo.  Some tulips from the past spring. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm, 1/125 sec… Continue reading →

So, despite my lack of desire to see money traded for random, typically useless stuff shipped to me, I acquired one of these Woot Bags of Crap.  I think these in particular are more about the nerd cred than the actual thing.  Once again, no major scores like big screen… Continue reading →

A pair of Golden Eagles from long ago and far away… AKA Busch Gardens back in 2002 taken with the venerable C2040z.  Still, not a llama. Picture taken with Olympus C2040z, lens @ 21 (120mm eq), 1/15 sec shutter, f/2.6, ISO 100

I was asked for a picture of a llama… I do not have any pictures of llamas.  This is an albino peacock, which is in now way even closely related to a llama. Picture taken with Olympus C2040z, lens @ 7.3 (40mm eq), 1/250 sec shutter, f/1.8, ISO 100
