Today’s Image | Backyard White-tailed Deer White-tailed Deer are a common site around here. The number we see each year seems to vary. This year the number has increased a bit. Of course, it’s too early for fawns to show up. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Waxing Crescent Moon The moon seems like an easy photo to capture. It’s big and bright and stands out against the night sky. To get some surface detail though, the image usually needs to be under exposed which means a manual exposure and a tripod. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | American Robin Somethings we overlook the most common birds in our area. The American Robin seems to be around at any time of year. Sure, there are fewer in the winter, but a large number of them stay to keep us company with a familiar song. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Potpourri Galore | Piper Cub on Skis Taxiing Ski Plane Weekend is always fun and usually very cold. To see the entire story, go to Ski Plane Weekend | a 7 Image Story. Of course, the difficulty to capturing good airplane images in the winter with snow, is to keep the shutter speed low enough to blur the prop and pan well enough to keep the wings and fuselage in sharp focus while dealing with bright, hard mid-day light. A 1/125s shutter speed is about as high as I like for a click like this one. Note: I post an image most days at hankconrad.com.
Potpourri Galore | Snow Leopard Stare The eyes tell the story. They are intently focusing on me. Luckily for me, Snow Leopards are not very aggressive toward humans. Snow Leopards don’t roar, but they do growl. They also purr, mew, hiss, moan, and yowl. For more images, see Snow Leopard | a 7 Image Story.
The Back Story This image was anything but a simple click. Finally, it became a simple click after positioning myself with a long telephoto lens to make the fence disappear. This image was captured in the Central Park Zoo in NYC. Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Waxing Gibbous Moon The moon should be an easy image to capture. Unfortunately, it’s a bit more difficult to capture the details on the moon. Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Cold Female Cardinal Female Cardinals seem more photogenic than the males. This one is all puffed out after eating her fill from the nearby bird feeder. Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.
Today’s Image | Cold Blue Jay Blue Jays don’t stick around in one place very long. Getting a closeup has turned out to be challenging. This one seems to be puffed out just a bit. Note: I post an image regularly at hankconrad.com.
