  • Calligraphy Photoshoot do-over – 6/1/19

    If you read the post from a few months back, you would know about the friend who does Calligraphy for a side business and how I attempted to take some high quality photos of their stuff for them. And more or less failed. It was a lot of lessons learned that day, and I planned…

  • No use crying – 5/29/19

    For something completely different, I took one evening to have a bit of fun with some product photography. The idea was to get a mug free floating with a liquid coming out of it. So the first was to get a clean backdrop. I have some white and black foam boards. Black would do nicely…

  • Hoot Hoot – 5/25/19

    May 25th 2019. Saturday Morning 7AM Well the first photo is timed right at 7, so probably more like 5 or 6 we got up and went for a walk. I brought all my camera stuff just in case. It’s a damn good thing I did. We’re out at the same park that I talked…

  • River wildlife – 5/21/19

    A Tuesday evening after work and I had dropped by home to grab my camera bag, a quick snack and then I was back out walking the trails. Still hitting up local parks hoping for something to see. A google search tells me deer typically give birth around the end of May and into June.…

  • Where to go? – 5/20/19

    The struggle continued to find new and interesting places to take pictures of birds. The next thought I had was being up at their level, bit difficult to do since I don’t climb trees. But the top of a building came to mind, and naturally I expected to not be able to find access to…

  • Gimmie all your lens length – 5/11/19 and 5/13/19

    This next post takes place over two days at the same location. First trip I went in the early early morning on a Saturday. Then again a few days later in the evening of a workday. It was a place near me that I found on google maps looking for big open areas, fields, bodies…

  • Patience pays off – 5/6/19

    A lot has happened since I wrote one of these. It’s been well over a month, and I mostly talk about the timeline that was taking place for the date of the photography. However I will make an exception for large scale events that have happened. As I did at the beginning of this year…

  • A pond a little closer to home – 5/5/19

    Often I look for new areas to go explore using google maps/earth. Particularly bodies of water and the best way to access them without trespassing. This was how I discovered this little pond tucked away on a walking trail at a nearby park. I found the easiest way to get there was off of my…

  • Spontaneous trip – 4/27/19

    A few days, and literally I mean 2, passed from getting the new lens and I was ready to see more birds. But finding places around here is difficult. Too many people. I needed a less populated area. Just like the one I was living at a few years before and my dad still lived…

  • A new lens has appeared! – 4/25/19

    A decision was made, and a large purchase was ordered. I had been scoping out wildlife lenses for a bit by this point. Checking pricing, comparing what I wanted to what I actually could afford. I wanted more range from my 75-300. And since I was finding I liked taking wildlife photography I wanted to…
