One photo a day challenge: Day 127. Today I returned to a spot I photographed for this project earlier in the year. I wanted to return today because previously the trees had no leaves. Now it is early spring and the leaves are starting to bud on trees. I really like the more subtle shades of green that are present as a trees leaves are just starting to unfurl. If I went… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 126. I most frequently do my birding from home. But today I wanted to make a concerted efort to go out birding someplace other than at my hosue. I wanted to go out and hopefully see some of the birds I am seeign people reporting. I decided to visit one of our beautiful local parks, Sperr Memorial Park. This is not only a beautiful park, but… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 125. Most of the day today it was either raining or completely cloudy and dark. We had some nice bird visitors. A flock of Pine Siskins, a group of Blue Jays, and our first of the year Baltimore Oriole pair. I would have loved to photograph the birds but the conditions were poor for creating good photos. So it seemed like another perfect opportunity to wait… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 124. Spring continues to progress up here on the hill where we live. Living up at a little bit of elevation has a strange effect on spring for us. When we drive down off our hill we see grass greening, plants sprouting, leaves unfurling and flowers blossoming. We see all these signs of spring happening down in town. But for us up on the hill it… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 123. Today I wanted to find something a little different to photograph. I was looking for something that is not the typical subject for me. I looked around my office slowly for a source of inspiration. Then it hit me. I share my home with all these animals. And some of these animals have their own furniture. One such item of pet furniture is in my… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 122. Today we spent the day bird watching at one of my places to go visit. We went to Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge sits at the northern end of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes Region of New York. As we left in the morning it was bright and sunny. But as we arrived at Montezuma the clouds had settled in and it was… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 121. Today I continued with my theme of photographing our flowers. We went out and bought several new flowers to plant at home. I am always looking for something different. Something that catches my eye. I often like to get plants that I have never had before. This flower is very different than other flowers I have gotten. I can’t recall ever seeing anything quite like… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 119. Today I did something I don’t do very often. I used artificial light while photographing outside. We had been talking about lighting and using flash the other day in my photography class I am teaching. I talked about all the different ways that you can use flash and other types of lights to create great photographs. And I stated that I primarily use flash and… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 118. I know I have probably written this sentence many times on this blog, but I am going to write it again. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year. I especially love the time of year where everything growing wild is just starting to come back to life. Leaves are emerging and flowers are just getting ready to blossom. It is a magical… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 117. Today was day three of my photography class I’m teaching at 171 Cedar Arts. The focus for today was on shutter speed. We talked about how to use shutter speed to effect your exposure. We also talked about how using shutter speed for exposure effects other aspects of your photos. The most obvious effect shutter speed has other than exposure is on motion. So, today… Read More
