The Devil’s Punchbowl
From a recent trip to Aspen after fighting the rain and snow for several days. This is The Devil’s Punchbowl located near Independence Pass in the Rocky Mountains.
Enjoy!

Photo of the Day – 11 Sept
Most people use a macro lens to take pictures of flowers but on this day I was out in the field with just a 500mm lens as I was photographing birds. What’s a guy to do? Improvise! This shot was taken at 500mm, f/16, ISO 2000 from about 15′ back. The problem with long telephoto lenses such as the 500mm and 600mm is that their MFD [minimum focus distance] is very large. In the case of the Nikon 500mm f/4 VRII it is 13 feet so you have to stand back quite a bit from your subject. For shooting things at a distance this isn’t a problem but it does look funny taking a photo of a flower that is 13 feet away from you! Despite being a long telephoto it doubles as a great flower lens oddly enough. The out of focus areas [bokeh] and sharpness are wonderful.

Photo of the Day – 9 July
Most people think of Hawaii and think of beautiful sand beaches, ocean views, and palm trees. Those are there yes, but there is also a vast variety of things to be seen on the interior portions of the island. This shot is from Kauai in the Waimea Canyon area. Enjoy!

We’ve had a heat index over 100 degrees [and often temperatures over 100 degrees] for the past few weeks here in Omaha so I thought something “cool and refreshing” was in order. This little guy is in the National Tropical Botanical Gardens – Allerton Garden – in Kauai. Enjoy and stay cool!
