From a blind, digiscoped. These birds ran around like small wind-up toys, displaying with tails in the air.

The Daily Shoot # 80 - Make a "sharp" photo today any way you interpret it, either tack-sharp focus or a subject that is sharp itself.

CECOM and Installation Command Sgt. Maj. Kennis Dent encourages listeners to keep up the dialogue and discussion about SHARP issues during the SHARP Breakfast at the APG North (Aberdeen) chapel April 28. A panel of subject matter experts from on and off-post took questions regarding prevention, reporting and treatment measures.

SHARP coordinator, 1st Lt. Raisa Velez, hosted the event

I like "sharp" water images of fountains. Slower shutter speeds, nice for waterfalls, but just make fountains look out of focus. Interesting that 1/1000 actually seemed "sharper" than 1/2500 or 1/3250. (Huh?) Even then, I jacked up the sharpness in post production. Rainbow was a happy accident but it was there in each shot. Could NOT zoom out to get more reflective water surface as there was a large piece of white trash floating in the water.

Polar Bear

 

Ursus maritimus

  

Polar bears are survival specialists in an extreme environment—the Arctic, where winter lasts six months and temperatures average -30ºF. Their large body size, layers of thick, hollow hair, and three to four inches of blubber provide insulation from the cold, in and out of the water. The bears’ streamlined shape, partially webbed forepaws, and buoyant layer of blubber help make them champion swimmers.

 

Polar bears depend completely upon the sea for their existence, spending most of their time on the pack ice from which they hunt their preferred prey. The polar bear is a skillful predator of seals, with the help of a keen sense of smell, powerful paws, and sharp claws.
