As we were leaving Carlsbad Caverns National Park, we saw some desert bighorn sheep from the park road. When I saw the bighorn sheep, I turned the car around and headed back up the road to a pull-out. I grabbed my camera and mounted the long-lens then headed back down the road so the bighorns… Read More Desert Bighorn Sheep
I have been trying to practice a little wildlife photography recently. And where I live, that pretty much means birds or deer. So, I walked around the refuge on a cloudy Sunday afternoon and hoped for a little light to make it through the clouds. I chose the Balcones Canyonlands Wildlife Refuge because at this… Read More Painted Bunting and Friends
I began my last full day in Tucson hiking the trails near the place where I stayed. There seemed to be public hiking trails every where around there and it was an easy walk from the door of my room. I took a few photos along the way, but nothing really stood out to me… Read More Saguaro Sunset
One of my favorite places to hike that is near to where I live, is Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge, which is to the northwest of Austin in central Texas. The wildlife refuge is US government owned and exists to preserve habitat for endangered species. In the case of Balcones Canyonlands, the two main endangered… Read More The Wildlife Refuge
Saturday was a sunny and breezy cool day so I went to the lake. I figured I would hike around the shore and shoot (photos of) water birds and then hang out for sunset and hope for a cloud or two. This is a good time of year to shoot water fowl around here as… Read More Sun and Fowl
I’ve gone on a little hiking trip to use up some PTO days before the end of the year, and to enjoy the milder weather of November. For this journey, I decided to head to South Texas and hit a few state parks that I have never visited, weather permitting. My first state park was… Read More Wildlife Near a Creek
I reserved a day-pass for Colorado Bend State Park for Sunday morning and planned to get out there early before it got too hot. For some reason I was wide awake by 4:30AM on Sunday morning, and decided that I might as well get an early start as it is an hour and half’s drive… Read More Wildlife Hike
My last stop in Patagonia was Punta Arenas in Chile. After a quick flight across the strait the afternoon before, we checked in to a nice old hotel and I woke up to a beautiful sunrise over the Strait of Magellan. At breakfast I could see the sky developing and went to the balcony on… Read More Punta Arenas
There is a king penguin colony on Tierra del Fuego and I got to visit it when I was there. Apparently, king penguins showed up on this shoreline a little over tens years ago and began returning to nest. Initially, when people came to see the penguins they got too close to them and scared… Read More Penguins on a Useless Bay
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?
