Dog In Window

Looks like a painting, but apart from cleaning some of the window, it’s as photographed.

Out of camera, looks like a painting.
In-flight Collision?

Not quite sure what happened. I was taking a shot of the pigeons and this is what I captured.
Duck

Ducks seem to take their leisure time seriously.
Confusion and Division

If I needed a cover for a book on current events I cannot think of another photograph that so amply indicates the confusion and division of our times.
Gull in Flight

I recognize that gulls create a mess wherever they go, but in flight they are spectacular birds.
Butterfly

As butterflies age their wings degrade, sometimes their colour fades as well and it is hard to identify the name of the butterfly.
Egret

Egrets, like fresh snow, are pure white and that confuses the light meter. This leads to loss of detail and sometimes white turns blue or grey, unless underexposed. You can see the loss of detail in this shot. One more reason to underexpose more. Also note that the heron family doesn’t always eat large fish, as in the case here, they catch smaller fish close to shore.
Dragonfly

Dragonflies are challenging to photograph. Their multifaceted eyes catch the light, creating highlights that I adjust. Secondly, the have bumpy faces so a side on shot like this shows a slightly odd face. Thirdly, they pick up dust that sparkles in bright light also easily adjusted.
Raven

I would think from the look of this bird it’s either molting or aging.
Dandelion

We’ve had some very odd weather; summer one day, winter the next, with a touch of fall. Still some dandelions flowered for a while.
If Looks Could Kill

Red-winged blackbirds have a mean streak and sometimes attack people. I caught this bird from a distance but you could sense the hostility.
Crocus 2

Spring has certainly sprung and the colours are great.
A Well Fed Sparrow

The snow is gone and the birds are feeding on revived lawns and bushes.
Contrast

I posted a similar shot last week. I like the contrast between bush and wall.
Monarch Butterfly

A shot from last summer, hoping to see more this year.
Goldfinch

They tell me these are common but it’s a treat when I see one.
Bench

Like yesterday’s HDR, this one smoothed out the light. The pond is covered in green vegetation, would have been nice to see the water.
Landscape
To view more of my photography please click on www.rakmilphotography.com
HDR smoothed out the light from front to back. One shot taken alone would not have this perfect range of light. HDR combines multiple shots of the same subject at different stops of light (2 under exposed, 2 over exposed and one just in the middle).
Garage Door

HDR image, white balance corrected.
When Nature Hits a Wall

This is in High Definition Range (HDR) and then adjusted with other software. I use HDR to get the best natural lighting.
Not Unexpected
