Boat Ride Anyone?
Boat Ride Anyone? Canada Geese were everywhere on a visit to a lake near my bother’s house. Wildlife and machines just don’t seem to go together, but the geese don’t seem to care.
Young Robins
Young Robins Last month this Robin appeared in a Daily Image after she had built her nest in the doorway. This month, she appears to have a family and keeps very busy finding worms for her young. Over the next couple of days, I’ll try to capture a few more images.
Sailplane
Sailplane Why are sailplanes so cool? Well, they fly without power, silently, much like an Eagle soars. An air to air photo would be really cool, perhaps another time. As this image shows, the Nikon 1 V1 with the FT-1 and the new firmware update works great in continuous focus mode.
The Flight Line
The Flight Line What a nice night to be at the airport! Jut before sunset the clouds moved into position.
White-tailed Deer & Fawn
White-tailed Deer & Fawn Happy 4th of July! My walkabout today was earlier than usual. And, what a treat for the holiday; mom and fawn were out stretching their legs. Now, this situation makes the Nikon 1 V1 and a 70-300mm lens with an effective 810 focal length really shine. I would have never gotten close enough with my other gear. Perhaps, the 70-200mm with a 2x teleconverter on the V1 would have worked.
Baby Rabbit
Baby Rabbit It’s the time of year for baby rabbits. With so many coyotes around this area, you just don’t see rabbits much, but lately the babies seem to be plentiful. To get down to his level, I had to lay down on my back on the ground and sort of shoot over my stomach. So, this is a handheld shot and a rather high ISO for a Nikon 1 V1.
Sparrow
Sparrow The walkabout trail ran along a creek and through tall grass. This bird, a young Sparrow I think, kept its perch even with me thrashing about the area. Just had to capture a image of such a courageous bird.
