2016-11-20: What I've seen this week

It’s seems like such a long time since I have done one of these posts!  I was planning to do one last week, but woke up Sunday morning to a computer meltdown instead – not quite how I was planning to spend my day.

I’ve got a bit of a mixed bag from the last two weeks… Fingers crossed I can get back into the routine of weekly photos again 🙂

Have a great week everyone!

I was very excited that the first time I’ve saw Bohemian Waxwings happened to be on a bright, sunny day.

These were part of a larger group that were in my neighbourhood for a very short period of time.  If I had left a few minutes later for my lunchtime walk, I would have missed them.  1/800 sec, f5.6, ISO 320

This fox has become a fixture in the neighbourhood, but (s)he is very shy and scurries away as soon as Spencer and I get close.  The weather has been to iffy to haul around my big lens, so zoom and cropping are my friends.  1/500 sec, f5.6, ISO 800

For the Monday supermoon, I went on a field trip with my photo club.  After a year and a half living here, it’s the first time I have been down to photograph the train bridge.  All you can see of the moon is the light trail on the water. 0.4 sec, f4.0, ISO 2000 (Nikon D610)

Same scene, different camera and a different interpretation.  0.3 sec, f3.1, ISO 1000 (Panasonic FZ1000)

2016-11-17: Feel Good Friday

I for one am very happy it’s Friday and the weekend is nearly here.  After a computer meltdown last weekend, I am back up and running and will be able to get back to my normal posting schedule.

It’s no surprise that I love elephants, and this photo was taken during my last trip to South Africa, when we stopped our vehicle in the bushes and watched the herb graze and amble along.  Always a wonderful moment 🙂

A line of elephants moving through the bush as the light starts to fade.  I could have processed this in a more HDR way to bring up the shadows, but as it is, the image feels true to how I remember the scene, with the elephants fading into the bushes.

Friday already!  It really snuck up on me; this week has gone by in a blur.

You know what I wouldn’t like sneaking up on me, is this beautiful girl.

Have a great weekend everyone!

2016-10-24: Monochrome Monday

Some elephant love on a Monday morning.  This is from my recent trip to Amboseli; what a wonderful place to spend time amongst the ellies.  You can find this available for purchase here.

Have a great week everyone!

2016-10-23: What I've seen this week

This time last weekend, there was snow on the ground and it was a soggy, rather miserable day.  But on my afternoon walk, I spotted one of the deer families and managed to get a couple quick pictures.  It’s wonderful to see that this mom has managed to keep the young ones safe, especially with the coyotes in the area.

That’s all I have for this week, hopefully there will more photo opportunities in the week to come.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday 🙂
