Eagle photos from January

I finally downloaded photos from my new Nikon camera.  I am learning how to use all the new features and testing it.  The eagle was visiting the osprey nest.  I have way  more to learn.

Twenty Three Swans a Visiting

On Saturday, I saw 23 swans in a group out on the creek.  I have never seen that many visiting before here.  It is usually 5 or 6 every few years.  They were pretty far away, so the pictures were not easy even with about the equivalent of an 800 mm lens.  I have a 600 mm lens and added a 1.4 extender.  So these are more of a record shot to record the event, since they were also heavily cropped.

St Andrews Estate Park

I needed a lunch break and found this small little park for children that I didn’t know existed.  I tried to take some slightly creative photos.

Snow and Ice After Another Storm

 

After a trip to town, we wandered around a little to look at the melting snow and ice.

Snow at Night

Thanks to a new updated outdoor light fixture we added to the house, we could see the snow at night.
I thought the photos looked more dramatic in black and white.
