Other Birds

Red-tailed Hawk

I saw this hawk the other morning.  They finally chased it off.

Eastern Goldfinch
The Goldfinches that morning showed more patience with me than I remember.

Eastern Goldfinch
Thank you goldfinches.

Downy Woodpecker
On the next morning, I saw a downy woodpecker.  I first saw it in a small shrub in the prairie.  It flew to this tree.  I did not hear it but it looked like its head was pecking.

Salamander Update IV

Tiger Salamander
As you will notice, they have formed a gut.

Tiger Salamander
It is nice that the skin is more or less transparent so we can see what is forming internally.

Tiger Salamander
It almost looks like a tadpole from this angle.

Tiger Salamander
I was having trouble getting them to move to an area of the aquarium through which I could photograph them.   One day, all of a sudden, they decided to cooperate.

Shooting Canada Geese


Hello, Big Boy!

Don't Get Fresh!

 I shoot the geese and other creatures saving files in Camera Raw not .jpg.  The reason is that I have more latitude to make exposure and other adjustments back on the computer.  I hasten to point out that it is always better to capture them correctly in camera.  The problem is that I am operating in extreme conditions.  These images were captured in ideal light.  The sky is like a big softbox and the contrast, which is great on the goose, is held because of the great light..  The problem for my camera is not enough light.  I let it set the ISO that it wants and it usually chooses iso 3200.  I set the limit to avoid excess noise.  That gives an image that is under exposed about 1 to 2 stops.  It is too bad that great light is usually not good for wildlife photography.


This image is underexposed by about a stop which I can pick up in Adobe Camera Raw as I process the image.


I add a stop of exposure in ACR without damaging the files.  This is not possible when I use .jpg.
