Tonight I was sitting in front of my computer kinda bored, and I decided to glance through my photos to come up with something to post here. I typed in a search in my Lightroom catalog “close” just to see what would come up. To my surprise a series of really eye catching photos filled [...]
This article will cover many of the ducks you can observe in New Jersey. With the exception of the oceanic ducks and the Teal, Grebes, Coots and a few others, which I will highlight in future pieces. New Jersey is home to a staggering number of ducks and other waterfowl. Especially in the Winter. It’s [...]
I know I know, fences aren’t exactly nature or wildlife related but they do exist in some beautifully scenic areas and can actually enhance a photograph some of the time. For me as a photographer a fence can be a blessing or a curse. There have certainly been times when there is a naturally beautiful [...]
Beautiful, unique, colorful, multi-purpose WINGS. It’s what allows birds to fly and to grab our attention. There are almost as many wing types and colorations as there are species of birds and today I figured I’d show some examples of the variety that exists. Some types of wings are designed for soaring, some for speed, [...]
Sometimes you are lucky to get really close enough to a bird to take a photo of just it’s head or upper body, like the Pileated Woodpecker shown above. Depending on the lens you are using, this can be one foot away or 30 feet away. I have taken songbird photos with a 50mm lens [...]
The cone flower is a summer treat in my gardens. The tiny seed heads remind me of little candles. This flower is a bird magnet to my yard. I love the color and texture of this flower and I hope you enjoy it as well.

This is the first article of series of 4 or so I will be doing on Waterfowl that you can find in New Jersey. That takes in a lot of territory. Raptors and beautiful songbirds and herons and egrets and ibises are exciting and wonderful subjects in their own right, but waterfowl are equally fascinating. [...]
Many photographers, birders and wildlife enthusiast await each year for late march, the return of the Osprey. With the exception of the fish most are excited for its return. For us on the Jersey shore this large raptor can be found in many nesting areas. These powerful raptors can amaze and captivate an audience with their ability to dive [...]
I spend a lot of time outdoors chasing nature with a SLR camera, big lens, and various equipment hoping, to get the job done. I probably spend as much time talking to people about photography because big lens draw people who think you have all the answers. Well no one does. That prompted me to [...]
