I managed to get a shot of this Redhead duck (aythya americana) just as he was looking right at me. It was a dull, rainy day and my auto-ISO chose 4000! No way would this have been a usable image on my previous camera.

Muskrat at Beaverhill Lake

This muskrat was surprised to see me when he popped up out of the water. I had been in one spot by the edge for a while keep as still as I could while I watched him approach. It was getting dark so unfortunately my ISO setting had to be quite high, but I still got a half decent shot of the little guy.

I haven’t been in very many Catholic churches, but there were a LOT of candles in this one.

A nice place that turns out isn’t as historical as you assume at first. Apparently it was built as a make-work project.
