Photography

Another re-edit of a previous photo! Just some slight changes + experimenting with a vignette.

Exposure Settings:

Aperture: f/5.6 Shutter Speed: 1/30s ISO: 3200 Focal Length: 146mm

Information:

I have to post one picture every day, I can take pictures in advance, in case I'm unable to take a picture for whatever reason (vacation, weather, idk) but I still have to post once per day.

I can't post pictures of the same thing within like, a week or two, idk, I might get rid of this "rule" if I feel like it.

Don't be afraid to give me any feedback on any of my pictures, I'm still veeery new to photography and would love any feedback given.

Pictures are taken in RAW, processed in Darktable and GIMP, then converted to webp and compressed to 70% quality.

If you'd like a higher (or full) quality image, check out my account on Unsplash! It doesn't have all of my pictures as of writing, but I'll slowly be putting everything on there over time!

Also, you're free to do anything you want with any of my pictures, just don't claim you were the one to take it :)

Finally a new photo! This was still taken before I knew about Raws though. :/

This one was for my 52frames Egg entry. There's more at my photo site.

Hashtag egg, also I should tag my Fuji with which I've taken them and all that ;)

Same story as yesterday! I kinda chose a bad time to start this project because next week is finals weeks and I don't have much time to go out and take new pictures, so here's an edit of a picture I previously posted! This was taken before I knew about taking in raw and editing, so I've done my best to improve this as much as possible!

Columba livia, or the common pigeon.

I imagine this is not the usual angle people are used to seeing pigeons; rather, you probably picture them from above, staring up at you from sidewalk level, begging for a piece of whatever it is your eating, in the dingy second-hand light found at the concrete bottom of your urban canyon.

In this light their iridescent neck feathers are quite striking.

Rather, it is a wascawwy wabbit.

An Eastern Cottontail, to be precise.

Canon R10, f/8, 1/200, ISO-1600, 270mm. Which may have been a tad underexposed, come to think of it, being shot in the shade in the early evening. But that's how it is.

BONUS POTATOOO (actually a yam but whatever)

In the form of loaf.

Canon R10, f/14, 1/640 sec, ISO-1250, at the full 400mm because I don't feel like being hissed at today.

The enemy.

That's because there's one minor problem here, which you've already guessed: I'm not in Europe.

Starlings are an invasive species in North America and a destructive one at that. They're even specifically excluded from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act for that reason. So, much to the consternation of aviphiles everywhere, these are generally shoot-on-sight on my property.

This one wasn't on my property, though, so I took at shot at him with my camera instead. I think it's a him. It's kind of hard to tell with starlings, but he was screeching at the top of his little lungs at the top of that pole which is typically male bird behavior. He stopped when he saw me.

At the moment the starlings and I have an uneasy truce. I think I've either blown away or scared off all of the ones that were hereditary nesters in my eaves and soffits. I care because they push out native birds, but also because they insist on trying to rip my soffit cladding off and otherwise destroy bits of my house in the course of their activities. So the ones that keep their grubby beaks off of my stuff get left alone for now.

Canon R10, f/8, 1/1600 sec, ISO-1600, at the full 400mm. This is about as far out as I can reach and get any acceptable detail on a songbird sized object with my current lens, at least notwithstanding a focal length extender or something. Or spending a lot more on glass, which I can't afford at the moment.

I found a green flower! And a little friend on it, I took a few other pictures with different apertures and different distances but they all came out blurry/undetailed, so this was the best I got, oops!

Okay, okay, this one wasn't in my yard.

I managed to get this guy far enough away from the cage walls that they didn't interfere with the shot too much.

Canon R10 as usual, f/14, 1/500, ISO 1250, 300mm.

Want to see what the cage walls look like while they are interfering with the shot? In that case, bonus picture of a Sandhill Crane:

Awk!

I took this photo while out with my dog for an afternoon walk. A storm had blown in earlier that day and all the tree branches were covered in ice and glistening from the sun. I don't know if this photo captures how surreal that moment felt but I'm still proud of it and happy with how it turned out.

This is one of those shots.

I live near an office park with a pretty reflective building. I've been thinking about trying to get a sunset photo reflecting off the building for a while now, but I have younger kids and sunsets and bedtimes coincide with each other for a good portion of the year. One morning I noticed that sunrises were fairly colorful, but instead of getting a reflection standing in a field I was now in a parking lot.

Reasons why I'm not a fan of this shot:

• parking lot! I could crop it out, but then there would be nothing in the foreground and I'm not sure I would be a fan
• I shot this with my 35mm, which means that I was fairly close to the building and looking up. This means less sunrise in the reflection (oh, you mean that's what the color in the bottom right is?). I should have probably used the long end of my telephoto, but I didn't have it with me and also didn't have much time
• The joys of architectural photography without a tilt shift lens
• I should have squared up to the building a bit better so at least one line was vertical

Live and learn. I'll try again this summer when the sun goes down after the kids are asleep and I have more time.

The Impending Spring continues to Impend.

Canon EOS R10, Fv mode again. 1/640, f/9, ISO 200 if you can believe it. Through the Bird Lens at full 400mm extension. And for once the autofocus manged not to fuck it up.

This pair (or perhaps the descendants of the original pair) build a nest in the channel under the awning outside my kitchen window every year. They're quite unperturbed by my opening the window and waving my camera around at them.
