Slippery Season

Dunbabin bridge late fall

Watch your step going across this bridge along the Dunbabin Park Rain Forest Trail. It’s ‘slippy’ season.

Crow Mid Flight
The way this crow seems to be hovering in place reminds me of a Harrier Jump Jet.
An unusual photo I think.

Occasionally someone reminds me to add the camera info as a learning aid. Occasionally I remember. This was a dull, dark and grey day (if anyone needs more dull, dark and grey days just head to BC’s west coast in November). I had on a 300 f/2.8 lens which I set to f/3.5 for a tiny bit more depth of field and sharpness. The 300 at this aperture really helps isolate the main item in the photo. The Canon EOS-1D X has no problem in low light and could track the movement of the bird without difficulty. Five frames were shot in half a second (I thought the crow was coming in for a landing). The shutter speed was kept high to freeze the motion of the bird in flight. A small amount of cropping (of the float top right) helps showcase the crow.

photo info: ISO 1600,  f/3.5,  1/2500 sec,  300mm

Cameron, the wonder Westie

You’ve seen Cameron the wonder Westie before. This is his grown up, on task pose: sitting partly sideways, ears up and watching over the neighbourhood. It’s raining, but I’m not sure he knows or cares. He comes from a long line of wet Scottish Highland dogs.

This photo was taken last week. Since then he’s been to the spa and is looking much more citified.
