Camouflage…

…you’re doing it wrong.

Goat!

About a month ago, I wrote in one of my posts that I never see any wildlife in the field, and had to settle on shooting spiders instead. Well, today I got lucky and happened upon an elusive mountain goat, but I sure wish I had a longer lens for wildlife shots. The first image is a 3 megapixel crop; the second, 6. Please, Pentax… hurry up with that DA* 300 4.0 (and send one my way…)!

Soon after taking these photos, the goat saw me and vanished over the edge of a cliff. I should’ve taken a photo of his hoof prints afterwards, trailing off over what seemed to me to be a death drop to the Ted Morris valley below…

Both photos taken with my K10D / DA 50-200, converted from PEF in Lightroom

Looks like I’m falling behind again on my plan to keep updating this blog regularly… Here’s a couple shots from the past few days. All taken with my K10D / DA 50-200

A pair of deer in the early morning:

The K10D weather sealing came in handy here:

You Look So Good In Blue…

There are birds everywhere out on the ranch, but it’s always a refreshing change to get a visit from the occasional bluebird. Starlings (curse them!) and blackbirds just aren’t photogenic…

Heron Hunting

I took advantage of the good weather and low tide today, and went on a Heron hunt. The last few Herons I’d come across weren’t too happy having me near them; this guy didn’t seem to mind me too much…
