This Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) flew by while I was photographing a blue heron rookery. (I made some very nice blue heron images, which I’ll post shortly.) It’s easy to forget just how fast these birds are until they fly by. Note that even with a fast shutter speed (1/1000th of a second) the wingtips are still slightly blurred.

When I migrated my old site over to the current one, I left out a number of photos that do not represent my best work. This mallard image didn’t make the cut. My brother likes this one enough, however, to complain that he could no longer find it. By request (and after more carefully evaluating the image) I’ve added it back to the bird portfolio. [SinglePic not found] Denver (finally) had its first appreciable snowfall of the year on Friday night, which meant that Saturday was a very good day for fox photography. As you will see, the foxes really “pop” against a snowy background, and the snow makes it much easier to simplify the fox images and minimize the visual clutter of their brushy habitat. Here are a few of the best images from this morning, plus a duck photo for good measure: More Images after the jump |
