Blade Runner K-50. )

I saw this guy all by himself, so I had to give it some attention.  I have been having some troubles with reds this past week, with this equipment, but here it turned out quite well.  I did end up making a lot of adjustments in the presets and all I did with this shot in PPE was resizing. 

Pentax K-50 with Pentax-DA 18~55mm AL lens.

1/125s, F/11, 4 EV,  ISO 100, Manual Exp., Mode, used built-in flash with CWA Metering.

Thanks so much for viewing.

Cheers,

These were taken a couple weeks ago in Iceland.  I just downloaded them a few days ago.  I was hoping for Northern Lights but the weather didn't cooperate.  Actually the weather was real bad and we left early.  We were on the last flight out in the morning.  Airport closed for the day after that.  I did manage a few good landscape shots.

Couldn't spend much time on this one (too bloody cold), so just natural light.

50mm @ f9, 1/25th @ ISO 320

9-10 Week old Eaglet on next.  This bird will likely fledge in the next 2 weeks.

I don't think I can top this this week, so I'll post early.

I got something a little different. Not a photo, but a video slideshow (because the photos themselves are not that strong). This weekend myself and another photographer (well... videographer) shot a 2 day pageant. This is a slideshow I made of the day 1 activities. The girls helped promote a dog adoption day for the RSPCA, were given time playing laser tag and also given some self defense lessons (I now see how important this is). The girls are in two age groups, 13-15 (white shirts) and 16-19 (black shirts). Throughout the day we took the opportunity to get a few posed photos. Unfortunately the weather was against us and it was raining and we couldn't do the final activities (lake/boating/paddle boarding etc).

This is just the video I did up for them for the first day. I have just returned home from day 2 which was catwalk and judging day.

Back to the birds :-)

Osprey nest was on a light pole between sports fields.  I was shooting my sons LAX tournament with the 70-200 lens and caught the Osprey making a fly by during the game.  After the game I put on the 200-500 lens and walked over to the nest area and sat and waited until one came in for a landing.  This location is 2.5 hrs from my home but I have thought many times in the last 3 days about driving back mid-week to sit there for the entire afternoon to observe and take pictures.  Very humbling to get this close to an active nest.
