Maine! Forest perspective

On August 19, 2024 by lightshedder With 0 Comments - forest, Kennebunk, Maine, mushroom, nature, Sony a5100 with E 10-18 f4 zoom

One of the Russula mushrooms I think, from the Mousam River Preserve of the Kennebunk Land Trust. This is one of the other “uses” I had hoped for from the Sony 10-18mm f4 lens when I bought it. It focuses to about 6 inches so these kinds of right down on the forest floor shots are possible. Keeping everything in perspective as we enter mushroom season. Sony a5100 with the aforementioned Sony 10-18mm zoom at 15mm equivalent. Program Aperture @ f10 for depth of field. Processed in Photomator.

Maine! Perky personified

Red-breasted Nuthatch: York County, Maine, USA, August 2024 — Okay, maybe not “personified”, maybe “perky animated”? But you get the point. Nothing perkier than a Red-breasted Nuthatch. Fast. Spritely. Alert. And Flighty. We have been graced with this one (or several that look just like this one) over the past few rainy days, coming for sunflower seeds. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VDX zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Animal/bird recognition auto focus. Processed in Photomator.
