My brother got me a camera strap for christmas, but I haven't had a chance to go out and use it until today. It was a bit overcast and I had my iso set pretty high, but I am still happy with how some of these came out.
Downy woodpecker eating lunch.
I have had people make comments to me in the past before that they would rather be in the moment than experiencing the world through a camera lens, but I feel like the lens unlocks the world for me. Even with glasses my astigmatism is really strong and I experience a pretty blurry world. It always amazes me to take photos of things I can only partially see and to have the beauty of individual feathers appear.
Female mallard. Check out that purple stripe.
Canadian goose. These are all over the park but I find them pretty interesting.
Mallard. 90% of my photo editing time is hitting the auto button and then trying to decide which exposure I like best. I think the duck eye is clearer in this picture.
But I like how cool the water looks in the background of this picture.
Another female.
Birds landing in water might be a new photography goal. I think the movement of the water is visually very interesting. I need more practice. I wasn't fast enough.
This woodpecker was having a bad feather day.
Look at the tiny stick! (maybe a bug?)
A more traditional exposure of the woodpecker.
This would have been an awesome shot if my speeds were just a little faster!
See how cool the water looks? The cloudy skies and my shutter speeds were against me!
