Why Would I Need a Teleconverter?

I recently purchased a teleconverter for which I have been saving up. I plan to undertake a photography expedition in spring that will involve landscapes and potentially a lot of wildlife and I have been trying to up my wildlife game in preparation. Shooting wildlife photos is quite a different skillset and equipment set compared… Read More Why Would I Need a Teleconverter?

What’s On My Roof?

Sunday afternoon I sat in my chair reading a book when I heard what sounded like little footsteps over my head. I then heard them again, so I went out to see what it was. I was hoping I didn’t have a critter in the attic and it was just something on the roof. When… Read More What’s On My Roof?

Two Random Photos

Dragonfly Close-Up

I have two photos that I recently took that I kind of like but I didn’t know what to do with. They aren’t part of a theme or anything, so I will just post them here. The first one is a sunflower in front of the setting sun. I tried to line up the sunflower… Read More Two Random Photos

Because They Don’t Know The Words

Hummingbird at Feeder

I have a hummingbird feeder in my backyard and the hummingbirds don’t come around too often, but last night one did and the light was perfect. I could sit in the shade of the house with the setting sun shining on the feeder and bird. I also picked a vantage point such that I would… Read More Because They Don’t Know The Words

The Damsel and the Dragon

Damselfly

On a bored Friday morning, I sat in the back yard drinking coffee (black, of course) and noticed a lot of damselflies in the grass. So, I ran in and grabbed my camera and watched and waited. I had to wait until they could get a little sunlight so their bright colors could really show… Read More The Damsel and the Dragon

Photography from Home – Dandelion

Dandelion Close-up

This was somewhat inspired by anther photo I saw somewhere. Dandelions are blooming everywhere. I don’t want them in my yard, but they grow faster than I can get rid of them. They start with bright yellow flowers before they seed out. This one was up by the front sidewalk in full sun. It was… Read More Photography from Home – Dandelion

More Photography from Home

White Heron in a Neighborhood Pond

As a distraction from staring at this: I have been going outside with my longest lens, 70-200mm f/2.8. A few evenings ago, I sat out back with my computer and noticed that the birds came to the birdbath while I was sitting there. So, the next evening I brought my camera with me to see… Read More More Photography from Home

Photography from Home – Rain

Been mostly stuck at home for 3 weeks now, just like most other people. But at least it is raining most days to keep me in the house. Maybe I am going stir crazy but, I thought that raindrops in the bird bath with flowers in the background would make a nice photo. So when… Read More Photography from Home – Rain

Just a Bee

A Bee on a Viburnum

Sunday afternoon I went out and shot photos of some bees buzzing around some flowers in my front yard. I think that these flowers are viburnum. It was quite breezy which made it hard to focus. I got as close to the bees as I could get without spooking them. My keeper rate was probably… Read More Just a Bee

Metamorphosis

Close up of Butterfly in Crepe Myrtle

One rainy afternoon I saw a large caterpillar in one my small crepe myrtle bushes and ran to get my camera. I wanted to try to get a macro photo of the caterpillar as it was brightly colored. What I didn’t realize until later when I opened the photos up for editing, is that it… Read More Metamorphosis
