Dragonflies & Frogs in Burnaby’s Foreshore Park
After working with a client for a couple of hours this morning, I skipped out this afternoon for several hours of "shooting" pond life in Burnaby's Fraser Foreshore Park. It was a gorgeous sunny day. I love ponds and wetlands for their biodiversity. Water truly is life.
For the photographers out there, all shots handheld with a
Nikon D300 and 70-300mm zoom lens. Aperture priority
at f8 to f11, with exposure compensation ranging from -0.3
to + 1.0, depending on the background. ISOs in the 400 - 1,250
range despite the bright sunshine to ensure shutter speeds
fast enough to stop motion. No post-processing aside from
cropping.
