Photo Gallery – Birds and Bugs

Took some photos in south Florida recently. These are both from Pass-a-Grille near the beach. The flies were taken as a three exp. HDR and tone compressed.

This great egret was in a small ornamental square next to a parking lot. I had to maneuver to free the background of car trunks and garbage cans. Note the mating plumage!

Here are two ospreys nesting on a marker pole near Marco Island.

Finally here is a failed attempt at a nocturnal HDR scene. The process enhanced the image noise to an unacceptable degree. This non-HDR version was obtained from a single RAW exposure in the set.

New To Twitter…

I am going to begin using Twitter for links to articles and other sites on a daily basis. Twitter seems to fit the niche of “this is cool or important” without the need to make a full-fledged post on the blog. We will see how it goes…

My Twitter address is: http://twitter.com/richard_rathe

My Twitter RSS feed is: http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/110776078.rss

New postings will flow over to Twitter prefixed with the word “Post“.

I’ve added a “Recent Tweets” area to the sidebar of richard.rathe.org as well.

Enjoy!
