Cherry Festival Airshow 2006 – Navy demo plane. I don’t have any particular reason for posting this one, but I do have a lot of air show photos. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300 lens @ 300mm, 1/500 sec shutter, f/8, 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

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
This is the first picture I took of Cinque Terre from Monterosso al Mare looking South toward the rest of the towns. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 17-85mm lens @ 30mm, 1/80 sec shutter, f/16, ISO 100
Arch rock on the north end of Mackinac Island with, thanks to whatever influences in the lake, a nice variety of colors. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 18mm, 1/30 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
We were attached by seagulls while on Mackinac Island. I’m pretty sure we were not feeding them, but we may have had food out. I’m not sure how I concocted the camera settings used. I’m guessing they were from taking pictures of something else the night before and I just… Continue reading
