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?

Hiking with Bison

On Monday morning I awoke in my frozen tent about half an hour before sunrise. I climbed out from under my pile of blankets, put on my coat, gloves, hat, boots; grabbed my camera backpack and headed up the South Prong Trail. I wasn’t sure what I was going to find, there were no clouds… Read More Hiking with Bison

The Missing Armadillos

My blogging friend Carolyn is in town and I took her and her family on a hike to find armadillos. Not sure why she wants an armadillo, but I try not to pry into other people’s business too much. I do know a few good places to find armadillos that aren’t dead on the side… Read More The Missing Armadillos

Some Wildlife at Inks Lake

Sunday afternoon was hot, as has been every afternoon for the past month or so but I really wanted to hike, heat or not. So, I went to Inks Lake to hike and hoped that eventually there would be a nice sunset. I started on a trail that offered some shade and eventually came upon… Read More Some Wildlife at Inks Lake

Some Galveston Wildlife

I wandered around and tried to take some wildlife photos when in Galveston one evening. I thought the sunset might be nice, so I headed down to the bay side of the island to see what was there. In the muddy flats along the bay were a bunch of Roseate Spoonbills, so I crept over… Read More Some Galveston Wildlife

Woodpecker and Cactus

I had just started my hike when I heard a thumping up in a tree. Looking up I finally saw the little woodpecker making all the noise. He was mostly in sunlight so I shot some pictures. I did have to try to wait until he wasn’t pecking. You can see a little motion blur… Read More Woodpecker and Cactus

A Week of OK Photos

Footbridge at the Park

The Bee and the Rat Snake It’s been very hot and very dry here. Nothing is terribly photogenic right now and it is difficult to get motivated to go out somewhere in all this heat. But I have tried to take a few photos while walking around in the mornings and evenings. Some of the… Read More A Week of OK Photos

Urban Wildlife: Water Snakes

There are a lot of water snakes in the ponds of the park where I walk. They usually don’t pose for photos, but these guys seemed pretty active in the morning sunlight. The light was shining from a nice angle such that I could partly see through the water and see the other 99% of… Read More Urban Wildlife: Water Snakes

Urban Wildlife: Heron with Crawfish

Heron with a Crawfish

On Friday morning’s walk in the park, I walked right up on a heron in the pond, so I grabbed the camera to take a picture and then I noticed that he had something in his beak. I couldn’t tell what at the time so I snapped away. Later, when looking over my pictures, I… Read More Urban Wildlife: Heron with Crawfish
