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 [...]
This past summer I seized the opportunity to head to Panama for a week of birding and exploring. I stayed at the Canopy Tower thanks to a wonderful “green season” package. That term is just a clever way of disguising their wet season, but that generally only consists of a brief shower in the afternoon. [...]
One of the favorite spots on the New Jersey coast for birding all year round, but especially in Winter, is the Barnegat Inlet and Jetty, located at the Northern end of Long Beach Island, in the town of Barnegat Light. Of course, “Old Barney”, the Barnegat Lighthouse is a major attraction there, and it’s the [...]
“Brig”, as it is affectionately known by most of the birders and photographers who frequent it, is the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge – Brigantine Division, located in Oceanville, NJ. I thought it would be interesting to talk about how just a single day there can be so incredibly productive and exciting for birders [...]
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 [...]
In keeping with this weeks Colors in Nature theme, being the color blue, I have selected photos of the Blue Jay. Most of these were taken in my backyard. To attract the Blue Jay I put whole peanuts in the bird feeder. The Jays love these and will take the whole peanut (in the shell) [...]
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 [...]
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.
My son Ray has already done a post on this but I will add a little more. We took our camper and stayed at the Elk Neck State campground so we wouldn’t have as long to get to the Conowingo Dam. This is a great campground to stay in if you are visiting the area [...]
My father and I just finsihed up a 3 day trip to camp at Elk Neck State Park in Maryland. This is also near Conowingo Dam which spans the Susquehanna River just above where it enteres the Chesapeake Bay. This was our first time to Elk Neck park and it was a pretty nice place. [...]
Here is the follow up from my previous post with some of wildlife I managed to photograph at Trap Pond State Park in Delaware a few weeks ago. The great blue herons are common here and are somewhat used to humans so you can get kind of close to them, I managed to snag a [...]
I don’t usually go out looking for deer to photograph but I do keep a lookout for them when I’m out photographing. The White-tail Deer can be very shy near humans especially around the hunting season. If they frequent an area like a park where there are always a lot of people around, they seem [...]
