A group of "fashionably dressed" horses photographed near Brierfield in the North-West of England with my new camera, a Nikon D500.
Lens: AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Processed with Nikon Capture NX2.
Llama or Alpaca?
|
|
|
|
This is either a Llama or an alpaca....I'm not sure which. A herd of them are kept in fields next to the Leeds-Liverpool canal just outside the town of Brierfield in North-West England. Photographed with a Nikon D500 camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2. The lens used was the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED

Horses in the rain.

Another shot of these horses taken during a light rain shower. Although the aperture was wide open at f2.8 it seems to have captured the falling rain as well as the horses.

Hawthorn (best viewed on black).

Crataegus, commonly called hawthorn, quickthorn, thornapple, May-tree, whitethorn or hawberry is a genus of several hundred species of shrubs and trees in the family Rosaceae native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere in Europe, Asia and North America. The name "hawthorn" was originally applied to the species native to northern Europe, especially the common hawthorn C. monogyna and the unmodified name is often so used in Britain and Ireland. The generic epithet "Crataegus" is derived from the Greek kratos "strength" because of the great strength of the wood and akis "sharp", referring to the thorns of some species. The name haw, originally an Old English term for hedge (from the Anglo-Saxon term haguthorn, "a fence with thorns") also applies to the fruit.

Pendle Hill.

Pendle Hill photographed from a distance of about 4 miles / 6.5 Kilometres (cropped to remove uninteresting foreground). My "shooting" location was near the town of Reedley which is South-East of the hill.
Pendle Hill is famous for its links to three events which took place in the 17th century: the Pendle witch trials (1612), Richard Towneley's barometer experiment (1661), and the visitation by George Fox (1652), which led to the foundation of the Quaker movement. A Bronze Age burial site has also been discovered at the summit of the hill.

Fast food.

A jackdaw carrying what appears to be a slice of brown bread back to it's nest on nearby buildings. The bird was about 30 metres / 33 yards from my shooting position according to the EXIF information so I had to crop the photo quite a lot to get a reasonably large image with my 200mm lens, therefore the resolution is not quite perfect. I used "continuous high speed" (10 frames per second) shooting mode and "continuous auto-focus" with an exposure compensation of +1.7 to avoid the bird becoming a silhouette against the bright blue sky.

By the dawn's early light.

A couple of early-risers practising their dawn chorus, photographed just after sunrise this morning. No prizes for guessing where the title came from :-)

Rook (Corvus frugilegus).
|
|
|
|
The rook (Corvus frugilegus) is a member of the family Corvidae in the passerine order of birds. It was given its binomial name by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The binomial is from Latin; Corvus for "raven" and frugilegus is Latin for "fruit-gathering" from frux, "fruit" and legere, "to pick". The English name is ultimately derived from the bird's harsh call. Rooks are distinguished from similar members of the crow family by the bare grey-white skin around the base of the adult's bill in front of the eyes. The feathering around the legs also looks shaggier and laxer than the carrion crow. The juvenile is superficially more similar to the crow because it lacks the bare patch at the base of the bill but it has a thinner bill and loses the facial feathers after about six months.

Mallards in flight.

Two male mallards in flight....they were following a female but I couldn't get them all in the frame at the same time as she was too far in front.

Eye contact.

My neighbour's cat. Usually she is quite timid and runs away when strangers come close but this time she seemed quite happy to sit and pose for about ten minutes until she got bored.

Painted pigeons (1 of 3).
|
|
|
|
These pigeons are regular visitors to my locality....I assume they're racing birds and that the colours are to enable their owner to identify them whilst in flight (they also each have a green ring on their leg).

Candid.

I saw this old man with the young boy standing in the entrance to a garage across the street so I grabbed a quick "candid" shot with my new camera to see how it performs with portraiture. I'm very pleased with the result....much better than I expected from a quick snapshot.
