David's Images of the Day Photoblog
Turkey Vulture in a tree waiting to warm in the morning sun. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera FT1 adapter and 70-200 mm f/2.8 VRII lens (ISO 160, 200 mm, f/2.8, 1/1600 sec). I think I am going to like this camera.
I wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. This is an image of three young wild turkeys in my backyard earlier this year.
I saw several Big Horn Rams along Colorado 14 while driving back to Boulder from Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge. Soon after I stopped and started taking pictures with a big lens, several other vehicles also stopped. Hard to believe, but one day later I was in Hawaii attending a workshop run by Thom Hogan.
As I was going out to try to do some night sky photography, this large brown moth flew into the house. After getting the camera on the deck going, I took the opportunity to use one of my macro lenses that was along on both of my previous trips, but never used. I also used a SB-910 flash that was along and not used — at least the batteries were still charged. This was all done hand-held while sitting on a ladder to get close. Auto-focus with the D4 even with low light and at f/29 was good.
