Little Peter Cottontail

Posted by Kyle Heon Sat, 25 Aug 2007 00:09:00 GMT

The other night after getting home from work the kids came rushing in to tell me to get my camera, that there was a bunny in the back yard. So I grabbed my camera w/my 75-300 lense and headed outside.

Sure enough, there he (not really sure if he really is a he) was sitting in the grass about 20 feet away. This little guy was really tiny, in fact the grass was taller then him when shot from a distance of 10-15 feet while laying on the ground.

Ultimately I had to approach slowly and kneel to get some good shots (due to the height of the grass). I only kept four out of the 131 I took but they all came out really good (I think). You can check them all out here.

This photo below is probably the cutest of them all.

Peter Cottontail

Apparently this little guy lives under our deck. He is so small that the grass covers him almost completely, forcing me to sneak up relatively close.

Wings of Hope Air Show

Posted by Kyle Heon Fri, 24 Aug 2007 23:39:00 GMT

This past Sunday a bunch of us, including my son, spent the day at an air show not far from where I work (or live for that matter). It was a long tiring day but I was able to get lots of good shots. I filled 3gb of CF cards (363 photos total).

I then spent the last couple of days culling out the non-keepers and tweaking the rest. In the end I kept 81, some better then others.

Here are a few of my favorites. To view the entire set, swing over to my Flickr account.

F-18 / Corsair Formation

Here the F-18 and classic Corsair do a fly by.

F-16 / F-86 Heritage Formation

Here the F-16 and F-86 fly-by in what is known as the Heritage Formation.

I hope you enjoy this small glimpse and I really encourage you to swing over here to check out the rest of the photos.
