Some Pictures from Ft. Lauderdale

The family recently took a small vacation to the Ft. Lauderdale area. I shot the following pictures in the Everglades at Sawgrass Recreational Park. These images were all shot at ISO 100 in Program mode on my Canon Digital Rebel. I used my usual Sigma 24-135 lens to do the work.

This first image was taken before boarding the airboat. It worked out to be 1/320 at f7.1. The meta-data says that the focal length was 108mm. I never really looked at that number too hard, but it’s interesting that it notes it.

This next image of an alligator catching some rays was also at 1/320s and f7.1, but a maximum zoom of 135mm.

This final image was taken at 1/30s at f3.5 with a focal length of 42mm. My hands must not have been shaking that much when the shutter fired.

As always, the originals for each of these images are available if you e-mail me.
