Tiger Lilly

[singlepic id=1243 w=480 float=left] A tiger lilly… I think it suffers the same saturation degradation as the bulb from yesterday.  Probably could be solved if I had the picture in RAW format… but alas. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT (300D), EF 70-300mm lens @ 140mm, f/5.0, 1/80 sec, ISO… Continue reading

Lorikeet

[singlepic id=1240 w=480 float=left] Older picture from Busch Gardens in Florida from back in the day of the C-2040z.  I probably have a dozen pictures of these guys that turned out quite good given the megapixel limitations of the camera being used.  Granted, they’re of birds that naturally look very… Continue reading

Bryce Canyon Hoodoos

[singlepic id=1237 w=480 float=left] This picture is from the day at Bryce Canyon in Utah.  As mentioned when I posted the bulk of the pictures before, this was mostly a midday visit and getting good pictures was difficult.  On one hand, the contrast was very high due to the bright… Continue reading

Willis Canyon

[singlepic id=1236 h=480 float=left] Second shot from in Willis Canyon, taken about 5 hours later and showing off the fun subjective portion of photography.  It’s the same place as the previous picture, and the color balance of both looks “right” to me.  This one was taken late in the evening,… Continue reading
