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…

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…

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…

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.…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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 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…
