This is our last 2015 post. Did not have a good day in the Lower Wekiva River as the pic chances were only a few. But it was relaxing as the beauty and the sound of this place are simply therapeutic.

It was not a day with many pics chances in the river. Do not remember coming back home with so few pics after a paddle here. But it is how it is. It is not a zoo. It is just nature. Paddle to the high grounds down river and back to Katie's Landings. Here are the pics...

HAPPY 2016!!!!!!!!!!!

Not many, but all fantastic. The kingfisher eating lunch is awesome! I mean, getting a kingfisher is hard enough, you get it with a fish!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photography. Curious what camera you use on the water to get such great photos. Don't want to risk my Canon DSLR if I should tip or drop it, but not satisfied with zoom of the waterproof Olympus point-and-shoot that I have. Suggestions?
ReplyDeleteBill,first thanks for checking our blog and for taking your time to post a comment. Now here is the shocker: I do use a DSLR camera. It is not an expensive one though. Rebel T4i. The lenses may be different depending of the situation. More times than not I use a 400mm, fixed, no image stabilization. I did have a water proof Olympus and was not happy with the zoom as you mention. Decided to change to a DSLR. Just try to stay dry. :)
DeleteA 400 on a Rebel DSLR explains the great bird photography. Have managed to stay dry so far...maybe it's time to test fate and go that route over the point-and-shoot because the birds are certainly not going to cooperate anytime soon and let me get close. Thanks for the quick response.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blog. I've been watching it for a couple of years now. Hate to correct but the Downy Woodpecker in this post is a Yellow Bellied Sapsucker. I thought the TBD bird in your most recent post was a Pine Siskin but the yellow stripe on the face tells me it's not. Thanks for all your work and posts!
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected then. Thanks and also thanks for following us.
