Atlantic Puffins at Machias Seal Island
Want to photograph the Atlantic Puffin? The best place in United States is Machias Seal Island, off the coast of Maine. My son, Ray Hennessy and I made the trip there recently. We left southern New Jersey early on a Sunday morning getting to Jonesboro, Maine that evening. We stayed at the Blueberry Patch Motel [...]
Patience, Observation, and Persistence
That’s what it takes. To get the great shots. To see the amazing moments. I thought at this time I’d talk about it and give some examples of just what you can do when you incorporate these three critical pieces of nature photography. It has been especially evident of late, as I make my regular [...]
A Day of Bird Photography – Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge
I have been trying to think of some new post ideas and for quite some time I’ve wanted to talk about what a whole day of bird photography is like for me, from start to finish. I finally got a chance to have a good day of bird photography not too long ago so I’m [...]
Winter Wildlife in Florida
My family spends the winter months (January to April) in Florida to escape the cold in New Jersey. This past winter Florida had below normal temps but it was still better than the cold and snow in New Jersey. The cold Florida winter took it’s toll on the fish, there was a large fish kill [...]

Singled Out Series: Space
The “space” I’m speaking of here is dealing with the composition of a photograph. Using the lead in photo above as an example I’m referring to the large amount of extra space to the top and left of the flower blossom floating in water. I chose to compose the image that way to exaggerate the [...]
Singled Out Series: Silhouette
Silhouettes are sort of the reverse of most other techniques used to make your subject singled out in that usually your subject becomes the darkest part of the photograph. I feel this method explores more of the shape of the main subject than anything else. A silhouette proudly shows the outline of the main subject [...]
Singled Out Series: Color
I’ve previously written an entire series about color in nature photography but this time I’m going to concentrate on using color to make your subject stand out. For the most part color in nature isn’t something we can control. As a photographer all you can do is observe it and capture it, which can make [...]
