We're into the forefront of technology ... and also into niche training. So how does that relate to this picture of the hairy woodpecker?It's an inhabitant of a niche environment in the Big Basin park (near where we're holidaying), and it's specialised and does well in that niche. I felt there was a bit of a parallel there. And it was also a great opportunity to test out some new technology; that wasn't the easiest of pictures to capture!
This Hairy Woodpecker is found in the low-lit museum at the park Headquarters, and the new video-cum-still camera that I'm testing has a low light setting but no flash - you really can't keep flashing with a video cam. Personally, I'm quite impressed with the results ... here's more of the picture.
