For those of you who reside in the sunny south, I had to shoot some wilelife photos for a magazine article today. Just thought I would share one with you.



Enjoy,

Gary

Great shot, Gary!

Your subject stands out beautifully with the white snowy backdrop.

Was this shot with your 2.2mp camera?

Thanks guys and gals. Yes, this is typical of a 2.2 megapixel shot, and keep in mind it had to be reduced for Internet purposes so it would load in a reasonable amount of time. This is the kind of thing I do every day in conjunction with my outdoor magazine and newpaper columns. I have another that I'll post later today that goes with a wildlife piece for the Wilmington Delaware News Journal.

Very thoughtful of you to photograph my high school team mascot, the Collinsville (OK) Cardinal.
Thanks,
DonM

Gary ... Beautiful photo ... how much distance was there between you and the subject ...
Also ... I thought of it being a St. Louis Cardinal ... out in the cold after that debacle of a World Series .... ....

Great photo, we still have 2 feet of impacted snow on the ground here on the eastern slopes of the sierra's. I don't think I would have tromped around to get that photo, I would have gone to the import store and bought the cardinal for a buck and propped him up in my wife's snow covered rose bushes outside the back door.
(or is that what you did?) LOL..Pose

The cardinal was about 30 feet away, which was close enough for the 20X digital (10X optical)zoom lens. I also have a 2:1 adapter for the lens, but rarely use it.

Pose, it's the real thing--honest. When it's snowing, which it was at the time, and your house is tight against the edge of the woods, there's always a lot of wildlife to photograph.

Thought everyone may want to see a couple other photos I shot during the past snow storm. All were taken with a Sony MVC-CD-1000 digital camera. The fox was taking a snooze in my front yard about 50 feet from the house. The rabbit was beneath a hemlock tree that's at the corner of my patio.





Comon' spring!
