Victoria Crowned Pigeon
This is the same Victoria Crowned Pigeon from before, just another shot of it, apparently with a shutter speed of 1/20 of a second, which seems ridiculous. I must have moved by the exact same amount and direction as the bird for this to have come out even view-able. Picture… Continue reading
Gorilla – 2.0
This was one of the under-gorillas – not sure if it was male or female. I’m not completely sure what variety of gorilla these were, but my best guess is that they were Western Lowland Gorillas. They look different than those in the Lincoln Park Zoo – more red-brown and… Continue reading
Gorilla
How’s ’bout we have some animal pictures for a bit? Yes, that sounds like a plan. This is a canary gorilla 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, 1/500 sec shutter,… Continue reading
Grand Haven Lighthouse Sunset
Grand Haven Lighthouse Sunset – a bit grainy (this one is just one shot with the shadows brought up a lot) but nice none the less. Remember when Lake Michigan was below freezing and Lake Michigan was ice as far as you could see? You do now… As the temperature… Continue reading
Mt. Rainier
A closer shot of the top of Mt. Rainier – taken from within Mt. Rainier National Park. This was the closest we got to the mountain. There were some hikes that went into the foothills but they were mostly longer than we had time for. Picture taken with Sony a6000,… Continue reading
Lake of the Angels
Our camp site on Lake of the Angels. One of the better camp sites I’ve partaken in for sure. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 36mm, 1/320 sec, f/8, ISO 100
Rock Licking Mountain Goat
One more of the mountain goat that we came upon at the top of Mt. Ellinor. They lick the rocks scavenging salt. There are plentiful warnings that they will also lick / nibble / attack people to get at their sweaty and thus salty clothes. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL… Continue reading
Moonrise
This was stumbled upon by pure luck – I knew it was a full moon, but had forgotten. We just happened to be driving down the right road at the right moment to see it coming over the tress. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 42mm, multiple… Continue reading
Banana Slug
Banana Slugs are huge (in slug terms) and apparently plentiful around Olympic National Park. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 159mm, 1/20 sec, f/8, ISO 3200
