How far away from the owl were you when you took that photo? I am always amazed that you can get shots like that. Are they not a very shy bird? When there's an eel in the lake that's as long as a snake that's a moray. |

Most owls tend to like tall old growth trees to hide in. Barred Owls on the other hand tend to stay near the edge of the tree line, so they are easier to spot. During the day, as long as they feel secure, wont move around much.
I'm not sure of the actual distance, but the EXIF data says over 50 feet away (Nikon EXIF doesn't give exact data for anything over 50ft away). There was water between the dike I was on and the owl, so I suspect it felt secure where it was. |

This was the sunset in Vegas the other day. It actually looked like the sky was on fire. Blurry camera phone pic taken while driving.

I've just consumed about half of this delicious creature:

Couple of shots of the Swiss countryside from the train on a recent trip to Basel.

Went back with my parents to do to KSC Up Close tour. Atlantis was in the VAB this time. And I brought my Nikon D60 instead of using my iPhone 4.

Hmm interesting. 7 months after the last launch, and they still haven't rolled the Mobile Launcher Platform back to the parking area outside the VAB.

I'm guessing the reason they went ahead and razed the FSS/RSS at 39B was because Ares 1-X blasted the hell out of it and it would have taken a lot of time and money to repair with only a handful of STS missions remaining.

Today was sunny in Paris. Here's someone making the most of the weather in the Jardin du Luxembourg:
It was only about 8°C (46°F), so I'm guessing from his t-shirt that he must have been jogging (or worse!). |

Hey, nice one! I like the many layers of depth, from the dark foreground all the way to the clouds at the top.

Thanks. I think the compression from using a telephoto (300mm + 1.4x TC) lens is what gives this image that strong feeling of depth. I've shot this area with a wider lens, and unless you are careful it looks flatter than a pancake. Throw in how the light cuts through the clouds into a small layer of the frame and it works!

Wow, nice capture. What was that Snowy chowing down on?
As for here, snowy owls migrate down the west coast during the winter. There were 18 in Delta during December, and now only four remain. I'm sure they will be heading north soon. |
