Light Flight

Published June 26, 2012 | By Elisabeth

This California Gull (Larus californicus) is taking off from the water. He is not actually made of light, taking off from light and shadow bokeh, but if you want to think that I won’t complain!

Captured at Stow Lake in Golden Gate National Park, San Francisco with the AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.

Botanical Butterfly

Published June 8, 2012 | By Elisabeth

The water droplets make the spots on the “wings” (and the “body”) of this wild lupin which echoes a butterfly in so many ways that it seems like it might just fly off…

Shot in Yosemite with the Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 Zoom Super Wide Angle Lens on the Nikon D300 Camera.
