Red: bright, vibrant, powerful, and eye-catching. Those are just some of the descriptive words that come to mind when viewing something red. Red can paint an entire sky during a sunrise or sunset or make a tiny bird stand out like, well, a bright red bird in a green tree. During the fall color change [...]
Let’s brighten things up this time, enough with the black, time to move on to orange. Orange is another abundant color in nature, especially during the fall months in many areas of the world. If it’s not too cloudy you can start and end each day with some orange during sunrise and sunset, usually some [...]
Black, the absence of all light reflecting from an object. Black is another sometimes very difficult color to photograph because just like white, it can be difficult to get detail in something so dark. Many birds, insects, and other things in nature are black. We usually tend to think of black things as bad or [...]
We just got nailed with a very bad (or good depending on how you look at it) snow storm here in the Northeast this past weekend. Here in the southern New Jersey where I live we got 23 inches of snow in just a little over 1 day. I realize compared to some areas of [...]
Next up, white, the presence of all colors being reflected from an object. Many beautiful birds are white or have a part of them a white color. White objects and animals can be very difficult to photograph and maintain detail, since it is such a bright color. Many flowers can be found with white as [...]
I figured I’d throw some suggestions out there for birders who take pictures or people who take pictures and happen to have birds in their lenses quite often. I fall under the later category, I’m a photographer who happens to also really enjoy taking pictures of birds. I think it’s partly their beauty, partly the [...]
I took my first trip to John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge this morning. It is certainly an interesting NWR as it’s viewing distance from Philadelphia International Airport. You can see planes taking off and landing in the background, yet there is an abundance of wildlife. It’s so great that we can have some of these [...]
Snowy egrets are quite common around where I live here in Southern New Jersey. We don’t usually see to many in the winter (ironic huh) but they are usually abundant in the spring, summer and fall months. An incredibly beautiful bird, I really like the yellow accents around the eye and the feet. I think [...]
The next in the series of colors, Blue. In searching through my collection of photographs it’s obvious blue seems to be the most common color followed up by green which makes sense with all the sky and water in many photos I’ve taken. You can see whether the camera is pointing up, down or almost [...]
I’m going to start a small series of post that are color themed. Today’s color is of course green. We all know that nature can provide us with the privilege of seeing colors we would probably never see anywhere else, either in intensity or uniqueness. I’m going to attempt to show some of the magnificent [...]
Photo above by Chris Peterson Check out the 100 consecutive day project from Chris Peterson taken at Glacier National Park it’s well worth the time.
Back in July of 2008 my now fiance and I took a trip to Bar Harbor Maine to relax and take in the beautiful scenery. One evening as we traveled up to the top of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park just before sunset we could tell it was going to be incredible. As we [...]
