Flowers are great photography subjects for a variety of reasons. Obviously flowers themselves are beautiful subjects. But flowers also attract all sorts of other potential photography subjects. Sometimes you can just stand and watch one given flower and photograph multiple subjects as they pass by. I was able to stand pretty close to this flower and watch the subjects as they moved about. I liked being able to get this perspective looking… Read More

Osprey It is always fun to note the return of Osprey to our northern part of the Untied States. One of the best places for that is at one of our local parks right in town in Elmira. I love to go to Eldridge Park this time of year. It is a… Read More

I will photograph just about anything. Even if I do not actually know what the subject of my photograph actually is. This happens to me a lot with insects. I know a fair amount and I have used field guides to learn about and identify insects. But there are so many different insects that it quickly become a daunting task. So I know that this is a tiny little green insect. I… Read More

A macro lens can turn any object into something interesting. It can allow you to pick just one aspect of an object and turn that into the focal point of a photo. I chose to get up close and focus on the textured edge… Read More

The use of the Nikon 60mm f2.8 macro lens allowed me to get up close… Read More

I have captured a decent amount of good photos, but there is still a lot to learn about photographing fireworks. There is probably even more to learn about making adjustments in post processing to firework photos. This photograph was from… Read More

Least Tern flying through the sky. Trees as background. When I visited Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge I was fortunate to find quite a large population of Least Terns in the area. Many of the Least Terns were hanging out on a dock. Periodically a Least Tern would take flight. Then I had to try and catch these swift birds in flight. The fact that there were several birds and they each… Read More

Montezum National Wildlife Refuge is a treasure trove of bird watrching opportunities. I have been fortunate enough to see so many birds there including this Common Tern. Birds can be found all over at Montezuma. On the ground, in the foliage, in the water, or flying through the sky as this Common Tern is. It is fun to watch the Common Tern search the water from overhead. Having opportunities to watch the… Read More

This is literally one of my favorite times of the year for photogrpahy. You can show up to your local park and you never know what you might see. Why is that exactly? It is migration season. Birds who spend the spring and summer in our region are returning to our area. You never really know when they are going to show up. Then there are birds that migrate through our area… Read More
