Was looking through old files and saw this from a few years ago. It was a family trip to Maine and this was on the Schoodic Peninsula. I was trying to capture the wave hitting the rocks and spraying up.
Schoodic Peninsula
Autumn
The weather is becoming cooler and it looks like the leaves are changing. I took this along the path behind where I live. I hoped to get some photographs along the river showing the changing leaves and the slope on the other side. This is one of the better ones that I took. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to clean up the bubbles in the river or not. I chose to keep them.
Heron
Another bird shot from the same day as my last post. I’ve seen this guy/gal a lot this summer. There are actually two on the river near my house and I see them flying from one spot to the another often.
Hawk
Finally getting into fall weather so it is more comfortable walking around. Took this while walking on the path near my house. I’m unsure if it was the same one I saw earlier, but I almost passed it by, which would have been a shame as it was very close to the path. I used Lightroom’s denoise function to clean up the image and am pleased with the results.
Hummingbird on Feeder
It is so easy to sit in my yard and photograph the hummingbirds that frequent my feeders. When I took this is was near the end of the day and the hummingbird was in the shade from the fence so I needed to increase the ISO to obtain a fast enough shutter speed to hand hold the camera. I used Lightroom’s Denoise function to reduce the noise and I am quite pleased with the result. I have a few older photographs I may try it on.
Just a Few Photos
I haven’t posted in a long while, so I thought I would share some recent photographs. Starting on the upper left, this was taken with a new film camera, Minolta X-700 w/Kodak TMax 400 film, which I purchased in January and scanned. I had always wanted a X-700, but when I wanted to upgrade my other Minoltas, XG7 and XD11, the X-700 was only available as used. The second, going clockwise was taken on a recent trip to my sister’s garden after it had rained. I was quite happy with the way raindrops on the flower. The two lower ones were taken in my backyard. We’ve had quite a few Goldfinches this year and I was glad to photograph this guy under our myrtle. The male hummingbird looks as if he has seen a few summers or maybe this has been a rough summer.
Fort Jefferson
We took a trip to the Florida Keys a few months ago and took the boat out to the Dry Tortugas NP. This photograph was taken from one of the gun ports on Fort Jefferson. Visiting the park and fort was definitely worth the trip out there. My only regret was that I did not bring my DSLR with me.
Listen Up
Saw these geese while walking the dog in a local park. Initially, they were closer to shore but moved out when they saw us. I believe the first one on the left is the mom and the others are her babies. It looks like she is giving them instructions, hence the title.
Pelican
Of all the times I have visited the seashore, I have rarely seen a pelican on a post. Even though that image would probably be the most iconic. I got this photograph on a recent visit to the Florida Keys.
A Couple
Just a couple of flowers hanging out in the sun.
