No really nice photos were achieved and no other birds I was hoping for made an appearance. So for todays photo sessions it goes like this: There is a frost warning tonight. I had… 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 can’t recall ever seeing anything quite like… 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.

One photo a day challenge: Day 108. There are so many facets to this one photo a day process I am undertaking. Part one: It allows me to simply take more photos more regularly.

But it often turns into a cycle of buying new plants for the house after each previous plant dies a quick death. Orchids always say they… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 62. Today was grocery day. That means it was the perfect opportunity to acquire a new subject for todays photographs. The store always has a nice selection of flowers. When photographing flowers indoor I prefer lighter colored flowers because that requires less light, which there typically is less of indoors.

One photo a day challenge: Day 39. Sometimes I am actually thinking about what I am going to photograph for this project in advance. I really enjoy photographing flowers.

Macro flower photography allows me to stay inside on… Read More

Day 3 of the one photo a day challenge. Today I turned my attention to one of the succulent plants I have been growing over the last few years. For the last few years I have been trying to keep plants alive for more than one year. I have been putting them outside in warmer seasons and bringing them inside in colder seasons. This succulent plant has been one of the ones… Read More

Last time I talked about how I use the Nikon 300mm lens in my photography. (Photo Gear | 300mm | New York) While I love using the long lens to photograph wildlife from a distance.
