[singlepic id=1927 w=480 float=left] Makeup picture #4. I don’t even remember the name of this town. We stopped there on the return trip from our Rhine river tour. I figured since I started this whole daily photo thing with one of the first ‘good’ pictures I took, I’ll end it… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1905 w=480 float=left] 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… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1882 w=480 float=left] Two of the three or four Grevy’s zebras that reside at the zoo with their little Mohawk manes. Pretty standard really, except that we call just call them Zebra’s and don’t care what variety they are. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 200mm,… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1875 w=480 float=left] Happy Black Friday! In a complete coincidence, today’s picture is the largest animal at the zoo: an eastern black rhinocerous. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18200 lens @ 200mm, f/11, 1/320 sec shutter, ISO 250.
[singlepic id=1874 w=480 float=left] Happy Thanksgiving! I couldn’t put my finger on a picture of a turkey, so instead you get another (previous one posted quite a while ago) shot of a giraffe – a Barinog Giraffe to be specific, though I was not aware there were distinctions prior to just… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1873 w=480 float=left] This is the best shot I have of this guy, the zoo’s Pygmy Hippo, in no small part because it resides behind a seemingly ever-dirty pane of extra heavy glass which also forms the side to the river / pool in its habitat. The ability to… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1853 w=480 float=left] The server is misbehaving, so I have to post from my backups. And, since my backups aren’t cataloged I can’t really do edits, and without edits a lot of the Rhine tour pictures are very, very dull thanks to the haze that day. So, instead you… Continue reading
[singlepic id=1852 w=480 float=left] I was going to concoct some version of “Islands in a Stream” to go with this picture, but I’m tired. The Pfalzgrafenstein Castle situated in the middle of the Rhine. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 20mm, 1/125 sec shutter, f/8.0, ISO 100
[singlepic id=1851 w=480 float=left] According to our tour guide, the oldest hotel in Germany. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL18200 lens @ 27mm, 1/60 sec shutter, f/8.0, ISO 160
[singlepic id=1850 w=480 float=left] Rothenburg inskirts. This was somewhere on the inside of the wall, though I don’t think it was that close to where I took the picture of the outside of the wall. The wooden structure was a little concerning because at times the stairs were obviously one old… Continue reading
