One Big Yawn

You may have noticed that other photo bloggers on the interweb write about their travels. Images of the snow capped mountains of Oregon. A dramatic sunset over the Great Wall Of China. A smoke-filled riot in Rio de Janeiro. The Northern Lights ablaze over Tromso. Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically over the plains of Tanzania.

Here’s Jesse having a yawn on our bedroom windowsill:

Nikon D300, Nikon 24-70mm f 2.8 lens at 38mm, 1/1600 sec at f 4, ISO 200, hand held no flash. I submit this to the global wildlife image bank and trust my fellow photo bloggers will give it the respect it deserves.

Here’s Jess posing for me while I practice my HDR techniques:

Nikon D300, Sigma 10-20mm lens at 10mm, 1/2500 sec at f 4, ISO 200, hand held no flash. I’m a novice at HDR, but twiddled with Photomatix Pro until I got something fairly tidy. It’s nice, as windowsill shots of a cat go, and 21 March 2009 (The Ides Of March) was a lovely morning. Note house with conservatory in the background – we nearly bought that one instead, but we’re so glad we didn’t. Ours has a much nicer view out the back…
