[singlepic id=1607 h=480 float=left] A mallard that was found on MSU’s campus near the Red Cedar wave. I was actually hanging around taking pictures of some friends kayaking on the wave but got distracted by the wildlife. Picture taken with Canon 350D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 300mm, f/6.3, 1/320 sec… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1605 w=480 float=left] There’s nothing particularly notable about this building and courtyard in Japan and I’m not even sure what the building is. I still find it kind of picturesque, probably just because of how clean everything in Japan is kept. I think I stayed at the hotel from where… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1604 w=480 float=left] Another from a few years back… I mentioned early on that I had lots of airshow pictures. This one is of the Blue Angels from the Cherry Festival Airshow in 2009. The Blue Angels were typically an every other year occurrence there, sometimes substituted by the… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1603 w=640] As Michigan gets hit with a week of warm (and humid) weather again, I’ll help prepare those of you who ski for the upcoming season! My folder label has this called Vail, but I’m pretty sure we didn’t actually make it to Vail and that this is… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1602 h=480 float=left] Just a duck, nothing special. She (guess) was chilling in the pond just outside the Lincoln Park Zoo. I thought it made for a good picture. I took a few more, but on the shutter speed was roughly halved and they were mostly blurry. Too bad, because the second… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1601 h=480 float=left] This was the other decent fireworks shot I got – same show over Navy Pier as the previous. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 65mm, f/11, 10 sec shutter, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1600 h=480 float=left] I think this picture is only OK at best (in part because my tripod was a smashed down backpack) but I’ve never been good at getting pictures of fireworks that I think are even decent. I think this one is OK – low ISO, and a… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1599 h=480 float=left] A Green Tree Python – from the Lincoln Park Zoo collection. I could do a bit more to fix the noise, but overall I think it’s pretty good for a shot taken at ISO 1600. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 112mm, f/9.0, 1/20… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1598 w=480 float=left] A seagull… which I’m sure everyone has seen before. I don’t have a huge amount of time spent taking bird in flight pictures, but I think this is one of the better ones I’m managed to get. I think it was taken on Skillagalee Island. Picture… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1597 w=480 float=left] A Northern White-Cheeked Gibbon. These are pretty common in zoos all over, or, at least they also have some in the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/400 sec shutter, f/7.1, ISO 1600
