Day 197

Wednesday, July 16, 2014

A first year California Gull.  Not nearly as unattractive as an adult one.  I cropped, resized and then lightened this a very small bit. (1/500s f/8.0 ISO160 300mm Canon 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

This is the sunrise yesterday, following the Super Moon.  It was pretty bright… (1/8000s f/8.0 ISO320 214mm -3 stops Canon 7D) An early Robin enjoying the sunrise, too.

Day 194

A selection of the Super Moon rising last night. Fife in the setting sun. The sky has some haze thanks to Canadian forrst fires.  Hence some of the orange on the Moon. (1/60s f/8.0 ISO200 79mm -1/2 stop Canon 7D) A Super Moon is when the Moon is closest to the Earth when it is […]

This Western Grebe was swimming along the shore, which downy Giant Springs usually means along the road.  He was too close to post it at 100% here! (1/350s f/5.6 ISO160 300mm +1 stop Canon 7D) A bunny, just because I can. (1/60s f/8.0 ISO160 269mm +1/2 stop 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>

Day 191

Sunday, July 13, 2014

I got to take Miss Toots to swimming last week.  Here she is at kickboard practice, one of my favorites! (1/45s f/5.6 ISO4000 112mm Canon 7D) Who knew it was so dim in there?  I had to use 4000 ISO to stop motion…and not well at that! (1/45s f/5.6 ISO4000 135mm 7D) ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! […]
