CHARLES DOBBS PHOTOGRAPHY
Taken at the Dallas Aquarium yesterday with my family in town from Colorado and Florida. I have been here several times, but it never ceases to amaze me at what beautiful animals they have. I would still prefer them to all be free though.
Shot with a Nikon D300 and f/2.8 @ 200mm for 1/30 sec, ISO 800.
I really love this time of year! It’s the time when the butterflies start showing up and the hummingbirds will soon follow (I have seen one hummingbird at my feeder already). I took the Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 for a little drive around my work campus today. While shooting Tom the Mascot (wild turkey) was interesting, I really think this was my best shot of the day. The detail is just incredible!
Last year’s hummingbird run was my best year in captures thus far, but I am really ready for them this year with this monster fast lens! Stay tuned and enjoy!
For the past few days, this male wild turkey and his harem of two females has wandered my work campus with no regards for the humans that might be walking by. They seem well adjusted to humans. Today, I found them at the front of our building with the male all puffed up and strutting his stuff. He apparently was seeing himself in the windows and putting on his best show to let that other male know that these were his ladies and his alone.
I wasn’t real happy that I was having to shoot in the shade with the sun shining behind them, but its not like I could tell the turkeys to give me some better lighting. But for the most part I think these shots turned out nice enough.
