Maine! Flight against the light
Ringbilled Gull: York County, Maine, USA, November 2024 — I got down to the beach yesterday to see what was in the river mouth, hoping for a few winter ducks in close. Not much yet, but I had some fun with the gulls in flight with the sun behind them. Sony a6700 with Sony E70-350G at 525mm equivalent. Program mode with my birds-in-flight and action modifications. Processed in Photomator and Luminar Neo (a small amount of motion blur reduction).
Yellowstone! Pronghorn speedster
Pronghorn: Lamar Valley, Yellowstone National Park, October 2024 — The Pronghorn is the fastest land animal in the Americas and is only outpaced by the Cheetah on the African plains…and that only by a single mile per hour, and, over a short distance. The Pronghorn can run faster and longer than any other land creature. They are built for speed. This shot was just an amble by Pronghorn standards. Sony a6700 with Tamron 50-400 Di iii at 600mm. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator and Luminar Neo (to remove motion blur).
