Weather is dreary. Stuck in my cage again.

Thanks guys. I just want a sunshiny day on my day off. This flat crap light I have had lately has me bummed. Seems every weekend lately has been worse than the weekdays.....

Also the D610 really shines on the indoor stuff. I can underexpose a good bit and then bring it back. Just freaking amazing what this thing can do. The D90 was an exercise in futility when doing indoor handheld stuff.

During my travels thru the savage jungle I came upon a cozy cave. Let us see what I found inside!






Simple Wall (1 of 1).jpg


I found these curious cave paintings. These seem to be showing what local flowers might look like during the spring and summer months. Very interesting. It seems this cave was once inhabited!!

As curiosity got the best of me I worked my way deeper into the darkness! And then I saw it! An amazing little creature that can be tough to photograph. They can be shy by nature but will put up a tenacious fight when their home range has been encroached upon by unknown beings!

The shy but protective Bat Eared Barker!

This one appears to be female! What luck!! Notice the large ears on this specimen. Their hearing is quite acute, which they use to find trespassers. These little Barkers are very territorial and will make a harsh racket whenever threatened. Or actually for no perceivable reason at all. What goes on in that tiny head is still a mystery even today.

So enthralled was I at my Bat Eared Barker that I almost failed to see the danger I was in! There resting in what appeared to be the final stages of winter hibernation was what appeared to be the owner of this cave! The very formidable and sometimes extremely frightening......Cave Yeller!!!!

This Cave Yeller also seems to be female. It appears to have shed its winter coat for it's more colorful spring/summer colors! Truly amazing! I had to tread extremely carefully else I would wake it. That would have been a serious problem. When being roused from slumber Cave Yellers can react violently with harsh calls and sometimes very intimidating threat displays. Sometimes these can escalate to physical confrontations involving thrown objects or the use of their very sharp claws. Many an explorer has had their head ripped from their shoulders for crossing a Cave Yeller! They are not to be taken lightly.

I got my lucky photograph and quickly exited the cave!

But I warn everyone who reads this. If you do not hear from me for a long period of time....assume the Cave Yeller has found the photo and has killed me in a fit of rage. They seem to loathe the very idea of being captured in a photo and will hunt down the offending explorer without mercy. You have been warned!

Some more of Yara from yesterday.

"I am NOT amused!"

"But I wanna sleep!"


And to show the lighting I was in. Dim room with an open window filled with harsh winter sunlight.

Really shows what this sensor on the D600/D610 can really do. Able to bring back from being blown out and pull detail from shadow. Still amazes me! (you still thinking D7100 @ Pretzel)

Well after all those beautiful storm shots of Scotts I gave it a try. Seems mother nature had other plans. So after raining my day out. The big storm tonight just blew over. One little crackle of lightning and gone. Apparently the Nikon gods did not smile upon me today.

Very Creative Story Doug. I enjoyed it. Oh, the cave shots were great too. :)
