Sample Slideshow – Polar Bears

I wanted to test uploading video clips to the website, so I thought I’d start with a slideshow. It’s a quick run-through of about 1/3 of the polar bear photos I took this last weekend. The images will probably go by pretty quickly like a flip-book. Enjoy.



(Now that I’ve seen the video clip, I think the 1 second transition is a little sloppy, but hey – it’s just a test.)

More Fun at the Oregon Zoo

Codi and I took a break Sunday morning and went to the Oregon Zoo. We like going there because we’re 99% guaranteed some good photos. Here are a few that I took. Codi will have some good pics to share soon.

Cougars asleep in their den. How frikin cute is that?!

This polar bear went swimming under water to find some fish pieces.

The polar bears had a wee little argument over who would get to chew on the fish-filled ice blocks. The big guy in the water won – several times.

Awesome bald eagle!

Evergreen

I was making some BBQ shrimp last night (in the rain) on our deck and I noticed that the light was hitting an evergreen in a particular way that made it sparkle. I got up close and noticed that the sparkling was due to tiny water droplets that had been caught in between the needles of the tree. I thought it looked neat until I got my 100mm macro lens. The closer I got to the droplets, the better they looked.

P.S. The shrimp was awesome!
