One photo a day challenge: Day 296. Had a fun day birding at one of my favorite locations, Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. It was a great day for birding. Our first lap around the wildlife drive was full of birds. Lots of waterfowl. A surprising number of Bald Eagle sightings. We had at least 6 Bald Eagle sightings. I love all the variety of ducks especially all the Northern Pintails we saw…. Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 295. I was looking for some fall colors. Unfortunately the colors around my area right now are kinda drab. It is actually hard to find bright yellow, oranges, and reds on the trees or even on the ground. But I did find some cool bright colors. Be open to something other than what you are looking for in photogrpahy. It is all out there if you… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 294. I walked into the woods looking for something very representational of fall to photograph. Some colorful leaves or something along those lines. But I was also just looking for something to catch my eye. Interesting shapes. Cool patterns. Anything that captured my attention. I walked and let my gaze drift across the woods. I have been fascinated with tree trunk textures lately. Then I saw… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 293. Today I wanted to do some macro photography. I wanted to find something with a seasonal look to photograph. I heard something rustling off in the woods. The sound drew me out to investigate. Never did see whatever was making all the noise. But I was drawn into the multitude of sights along the forest floor. I started looking for interesting leaves to photograph. It… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 292. I like the challenge of taking a relatively common item and photographing it so close up that is almost become completely abstract. Photograph an object in a way that it becomes almost unrecognizable as what it really is. I am trying to photograph items that might seem common or boring in a way that they become interesting once again. Trying to bring new life to… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 291. This time of year presents opportunities to photograph all sort of interesting things. There are lots of nature related items that are commonly used for decorations in the fall. I recently picked up several items to experiment with for my photography. I just never committed to do it. That is until today. I love the Ornamental Corn. I really like the corn cobs that have… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 290. Today I went outside at night to photograph flowers. I took my Lume Cube panel mini lights out to illuminate the subjects. I decided to photograph just one plant. I chose the Strawflower. Still blooming strong even into the fall. I worked with the variety of flowers still in bloom on the plant. Trying to find different angles to view each blossom from. Photographing each… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 289. My wife picked out this enormous potted mum. It is apparently the only one that I am doing a good job keeping alive. Not sure what I am doing wrong with the other plants but at least this one seems mostly healthy. It is such a beautiful plant. Flowers of multiple colors. Flower blossoms with multiple colors in one individual flower. I just love all… Read More
I really just wanted to photograph some trees and water. This nice stream and trees overhanging worked nicely. The leaves don’t really have any nice bright fall colors yet. But still a nice simple New York fall scene.
One photo a day challenge: Day 287. You don’t have to like everything about every day. But you should really be ready to accept the good parts of each day as they come to you. I have spent the past 10+ years commuting 1 hour to work and 1 hour home every single day. In the past year we have been able to work from home part time. It is the best… Read More
