Duck Blind View
10MAR2013 Duck Blind View Nothing but the Trumpeter Swans remain on the lake....it was as if they were asking each other...where they all going? One point five million Geese at Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge last month. Have a great Sunday, thanks for looking.....please leave me a comment.
15FEB2013 Crazy Sky A clearing of the lake from our point of view with the lens at 100mm. The light is always changing as is the focal point.....plus just add the serious wow factor of nature in action and one could understand the difficulty of getting a great image from a place like this. Please visit your Refuge soon, sign the guest book as some of these places get there funding by public participation. Thanks for the great comments and questions....TGIF! Hi Kristy....see i can come up with those crazy wildlife images too.
22NOV2012 Silent Road Part of the loop road in Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, this section is a straight two mile section that goes thru the forest on the North side. Thanks for all the wonderful Birthday wishes today, Happy Thanksgiving to all as well. We are giving thanks for those who are still with us, and remembering those who have passed before us. Please, have a great day and thanks for your comment!
01MAR2012 Incoming..... Thanks for looking.....and your comments. Yes I know.... i'm smug challenged at the present, wholesale changes soon!
25FEB2012 Just another ________ in the wall! I call this one the "Ultimate Puzzle" shot, my mom would have spent days and daze working on a puzzle like this..... Hope your weekend is filled with joy.....enjoy! We took this shot fairly early in the day, direct sunlight clear sky's, this is a tech tip I found along the way....I was set on direct sun exposure on the camera at ISO 100 so the long distance shots are real crisp as the geese moved closer and closer to us the wall they put up as they had a mass ascension darkend the frame so much I went to ISO 400, I found them to be much easier to process, that move took away all the dark shadows between the birds dark wings and white bodies......take a look at the largest size possible and you will see the difficulty in processing one may have, hope this little tech tip will help you someday! The wall of geese are about 100 yards out I cropped the bottom of the shot because the large amount of water detracts from the shot, I like cropped shots or the pano view I find they sell better than a full frame shots, a pano shot allows you to do more with the matting and frame selection I have found, my personal viewpoint....thanks for yours! I only saw one impact death from birds colliding in mid-air while we were there, what I found amazing was when the mature adult goose hit the ground it buried in about six inches deep near some people down the way from us, It would have certainly done bodily harm if it had made impact with a human. We traveled the extent of the road system in the refuge and saw hundreds of geese littering the ground from mid-air impacts, attrition in nature they call that. Thanks for the great questions and comments.....I try to answer all your questions here later in the day as time permits.
