Simple Clicks – Assorted Nature
As I wrap up the outdoor and wildlife segments of my E-M5 review, I have a few photos left that didn’t make it onto the blog yet, but are still worth sharing. For starters, here’s a Killdeer, one of a series shot out the car window. Killdeer are skittish and I could never get this [...]
First Snowfall
Winter has come early to Northeastern PA, giving us our first snowfall just before Halloween. The timing on this was perfect, as the snow stopped around midnight Saturday and was still in pristine condition at sunrise Sunday morning, which found me out in the park, ankle-deep in one hell of a great morning. There are [...]
Simple Clicks – Autumn Sunrise
Saturday morning at Bullhead Bay, Lackawanna State Park, at sunrise. Not the most spectacular sunrise, given the mostly bald sky, but still great to be out in the field for it, especially with the fog swirling across the water. The foliage is at peak, maybe just a little before. And of course the dock is [...]
The Shots I Did Get
So while Paul was capturing John the Heron in flight, this is what I was setting up to shoot – the dock at Bullhead Bay, which is a perennial favorite of mine. Combine it with quick-moving fog hovering low over the water, and some intense purple pre-sunset light, and it was well worth the 5am [...]
Abstract Marsh Water
With a post title like that, it’s got to be good, right? Abstract marsh water sounds like it may be an oxymoron, or maybe a bad drink at a dive bar. Actually, it’s more the submerged marsh grass I’m interested in, but close enough. Either way, the idea actually as pedigreed roots, as it’s an [...]
Simple Clicks – Cold Morning
A cold morning today – I didn’t want to take my gloves off to switch lenses, so in between chasing birds I used the 300L for some nature/landscape images as well. I had black & white in mind when I shot both, and was pleased to see that they converted well.
Black & White Morning Pano
Got to Bullhead Bay ahead of the light today and puttered around in the dark for a while, until the morning finally came. The Weather Channel girl had promised a clearing sky last night; about 12 hours later she got it right, although when I was shooting this it appeared that she was still dead [...]
Simple Clicks – Foggy Marsh
This is from the final morning of my vacation in Vermont. I came full circle, since spending my first morning in the same place – the West Rutland Marsh, for anyone who was wondering. The lighting was really this dramatic, the sun trying to burn through the thick morning fog, illuminating some spots but not [...]
Simple Clicks – Tuesday, 15 June
Finally got out this morning, after a busy week and long weekend of crappy weather. It took getting up at 0430 to hit the park before heading to the office, but it was very much worth it. For starters, I was able to check another critter off my list. Yeah, it’s just your standard Eastern [...]
