Great Blue Heron Takeoff Series
Plus my take on Canon’s new IDX Mark III camera. Final specs were announced yesterday.
Male Common Goldeneye And An Illusion Of Softness
In bird photography a variety of factors can cause our birds to appear soft when they’re actually sharp or at least sharper than they appear to be.
Canada Goose Landing In A Snowstorm
A Northern Harrier In Flight And That Elusive Catch Light
Catch lights in the eyes of our subjects are important far beyond their diminutive size but they’re both fickle and elusive.
Northern Harrier Flight Series
Ok, it’s past time to fully address the elephant in the room when it comes to my photography.
A Couple Of Chickadees Doing What Chickadees Do
In this case it’s hanging upside down from Douglas Fir cones like wannabe Red-breasted Nuthatches.
Northern Harrier Twisting Flight Posture
My photos in the cold yesterday morning were actually sharp! Thanks to a friend I may (or may not) have arrived at a partial solution to my problem with soft photos while shooting from my pickup in unusually cold temperatures.
Golden Eagle Banking In Flight In Warm Light
Yesterday morning we finally had some light around here and I even found some beautiful birds to take advantage of it. This Golden Eagle is one of them.
Sage Grouse And The Consequences Of Selective Focus At Long Focal Lengths
In bird photography we often learn by trial and error and experimentation. This is one of my early photography “field investigations” using a pair of Greater Sage Grouse on Utah’s Aquarius Plateau.
If You Think Birds Don’t Notice The Little Things…
If you think birds don’t notice the little things you’d be wrong. This male American Kestrel is the proof in the pudding.
This Diehard Canon Fan May Have To Switch Camera Brands
Adult Bald Eagle Snagging A Fish Out Of The Water
Plus my worst bad habit as a photographer (I have other bad habits but most of them don’t involve photography).
Rough-legged Hawk Takeoff And Flight Series
As a bird photographer I’m usually cussing the wind but yesterday morning I was grateful for a stiff breeze.
A Song Sparrow In The Golden Light Of Dawn
Despite a relatively minor flaw this shot from yesterday morning may become a favorite songbird photo of mine.
