Day 21/Year 2
Do you see that cute little bunny rabbit in this photo? Yeah, I know........it's kind of hard to see. Here's the scoop. I put the 50 mm lens with the 4T closeup filter onto the D90 this afternoon, and headed out into the backyard to take some closeup shots. Little did I know it was "wildlife playtime" out there! As I was heading down to the back of the yard, I saw this adorable little bunny hopping through the woods......and it came to a stop just as it exited the woods and saw me. I took the closeup filter off and took a few shots, knowing I didn't have nearly enough reach with the 50 mm lens. Oh well. Not a big deal. So, I then walked further back and suddenly I saw a gorgeous deer in the woods. Man, I wished I had the longer lens with me! I took a few shots anyways......and they are not sharp enough. I did a Photoshop treatment to this one to try to salvage it. It's not good.....but I want to post it anyways so here goes:
I know it, huh??? Talk about a missed opportunity!!
After the deer exited I got busy working on the original task I had in mind. We had a lot of heavy rain today, and I wanted to get a closeup shot of a water drop on a forsythia bud. Here's one I managed to get. I love the reflections!
Lesson learned. Carry all of the gear with you out in the backyard. You never know who or what is going to be out there to photograph!
