Northern Shovelers...

On a dark, rainy day.
Distance was well over 100 yards, and the light was low, so the image quality is not too good. But, with male and female posing, I thought I would show it anyway. -Kurt Horsley

Deer

Posted By Kurt Horsley
Finally, a clear and sunny day. I managed to get out and hike for awhile today, and came across three females, laying down in the middle of the afternoon. They actually let me approach for a few shots. This is probably the first time I have seen deer laying down, before they saw me. -Kurt Horsley

Another beautiful, sunny, 82 degree day in Texas. Nice day for a kayak ride. But...there were snakes... -Kurt Horsley

Images look similar, but all are different animals.

Re: Gigapixel image

Unbelievable... that looks more like a tile than a stitch. What a great job. However, I wonder what kind of computer would have enough memory to creat that kind of image file. Certainly not anything I have seen or heard of. -Kurt Horsley

Finally...the new FZ10 arrived via UPS. First pictures will be posted later today. The initial images I took yesterday before dark look very promising. More later... -Kurt Horsley

Something Sad

Posted By Kurt Horsley
I always hate to see the bad effects that humans have on the wildlife. The fishing lure was hooked through the bottom half of the beak, and the gull had to carry it around... and even fly with it stuck in his mouth. He will probably die a slow death, or get hooked in a tree/bush/stick and be killed by a predator.
Image quality and color are a bit low as this shot was taken through the windsheild of the truck. -Kurt Horsley

Still more Herons

Posted By Kurt Horsley
A couple pictures of great blue herons with the new FZ10. Both images taken at the 420mm setting. Distance was around 70-75 yards. -Kurt Horsley
