    The previous photo, is a fully zoomed in one, from the same spot in space. Try and find that big barn in the previous photo, in this photo, it is in alignment with downtown Wittenburg… Mind-boggling….. My new camera. I see from watching the war in Ukraine that they’re using this same drone for reconnaissance. Makes total sense.

    Lake St Croix. I took some liberties.

    If you prefer to hold your phone vertically, then you want a 4 x 3 aspect ratio. If you like to look at your photos on your phone horizontally, then you want a 16 x 9 aspect ratio.,

  • Look at the beautiful fantail of this gorgeous creature.

    Look at the beautiful fantail of this gorgeous creature.

    Also, look at his eye, he’s looking right at me. I think he figured out my iPhone wasn’t a fish. I have the white one and the camera lenses look like the eyes of a fish. I had to crop it some, it’s a fame capture from a video clip, I’m a terrible wildlife photographer.

    Getting strafed by a bald eagle. Video clip of a bald eagle.

    I can’t believe this happened, this eagle tried to snag me. He saw me taking photos with my iPhone. I think he was trying to grab the phone from me. Maybe he thought I was holding up a fish for him. Listen to him screeching in the first second of this clip. I saw him coming from my left, coming in low, right at me. I raise my phone, he did a 180° turn right in front of me. Kinda like a miraculous acrobatic maneuver. I was able to capture him as he was flying away, the same direction he came from. A little bit more details about this situation. My iPhone was set on video and it was zoomed in, because I just got done taking that clip of the dam. This Eagle came in, I just liked pulled up my phone, whatever, push the red button. I squared off with a healthy bald eagle, damn lucky I still got my phone and my hands….. I think we both freaked each other out.
