I actually packed my set of neutral density filters just so I could try slowing down the shutter enough to get the softer look to the water. Unfortunately, that also means little details like leaves on tress might be blurred. Probably a good time to take two shots and merge… Continue reading
Smoky Mountain Sunset round two. Same basic picture as yesterday, but just a single shot and a more natural looking processing. Not really sure which version I prefer. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 32mm, 1/80 shutter, f/8, ISO 100
New picture from the recent weekend in the Smoky Mountains. Specifically tried to get some sunrise and sunset pictures this time, which was helped by staying closer to the park than the last time we were there. The downside of trying to practice photography more is that I have far… Continue reading
I’m just calling this one “Grumpy Bird” also from Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 200mm, 1/160 sec shutter, f/5.6, ISO 1600
Victoria Crowned Pigeon from Disney’s Animal Kingdom in Florida. Picture taken with Canon Rebel XT, EF 70-300mm @ 70mm, 1/125 sec shutter, f/5.6, ISO 1600
One of the better pictures I got from attending a bull fight in Madrid. It was kind of a pain to get to see an actual bull fight, because they really only happen in Madrid which wasn’t that close to the cities we were visiting at the time. It was… Continue reading
I posted a similar Badlands sunset picture back in the Badlands – norconk.com. I think this one has a slightly better foreground and a little lighter touch on the HDR compilation. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 18-135mm lens @ 45mm, 1/10 – 1/160 shutter, f/16, ISO 100
Sticking with the animal theme for one more picture, this is one of the better shots I got of a bear while in Yellowstone, even though it’s a black bear and not the more impressive Grizzly. Hung around watching this one forage for about an hour and of course took… Continue reading
This is the closest shot I got of a coyote in Yellowstone. I don’t know why we turned off into the picnic area where we found this guy, but we just happened to be scrounging around for food. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm @ 300mm, 1/400 sec shutter,… Continue reading
Looking up at the Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone – kind of the opposite view of the previous tree picture. Had to climb on the railing to get high enough to just barely see into the pool in the middle there. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 10mm,… Continue reading
