OK – Thanksgiving and the shopping holiday are over, back to normal. Here’s one of the zoo’s amur tigers, which apparently used to be called Siberian tigers but the name was changed to better reflect their natural range. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm lens @ 235mm, f/5.6, 1/80… Continue reading
Happy Black Friday! In a complete coincidence, today’s picture is the largest animal at the zoo: an eastern black rhinocerous. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18200 lens @ 200mm, f/11, 1/320 sec shutter, ISO 250.
After the last work day of our trip we took a detour to Rothenburg to wander around a bit. This was one of the walls on the edge of town. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL1018 lens @ 10mm, 1/125 sec shutter, f/11, ISO 100
Last from Bryce Canyon, posted in part because of my recent reading of this article on Luminous Landscape. I was obviously at that point later in the day where the shadows were overtaking the valley. I did some adjusting afterward, otherwise the lower portion of this picture was completely lost… Continue reading
A different angle on the waves in Grand Haven – I’d like to have gotten in front of the light posts, but I also wanted to keep my shoes dry. Apparently, I’m not willing to make the sacrifices it takes to get the shot. Photo taken with Nikon D80 (not… Continue reading
The Pearl Tower in Shanghai, China. I thought I had posted some of these before – but this was one of the buildings on what Josh called “Matt’s tall building tour” because when in foreign countries, there was often an observation deck / tourist attraction in the tall buildings. I… Continue reading
I posted a picture of one of the chandeliers before, but I didn’t realize I had a picture that actually showed the size of some of the caverns left by the salt mining in Krakow, Poland. Also, special thanks to Olympus for putting an f/1.8 lens on the C2040z. Picture… Continue reading
More a documentation picture than a really impressive scene – this shot of the Ariane 5 heavy lift rocket is from the Paris Airshow in 2001. Apparently there’s still a version of this in service today for putting satellites into orbit. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040Z, lens @ 7.3mm (40mm… Continue reading
This was one of the shots that comprised the previous moon HDR pic. The images in that one weren’t really that well aligned, so everything was quite soft. This one didn’t have quite the detail on the edges, but overall it’s a much better picture. Picture taken with Sony a6000,… Continue reading
OK – done with the Key West pictures for now. 😛 Mile zero of US-1 which runs from the Canadian border in Maine to Key West. Picture taken with Olympus C-2040z, lens @ 7.3mm (40mm equiv), f/6.3, 1/400 sec, ISO 100
