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 [...]
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 [...]
Most of my photography is done with available light. I have experimented with flash photography resulting in some astonishing pictures but it seems to take away from the natural look.

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 [...]
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 [...]
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted so I figured I’d put a quick series of white birds up. I’ve been a bit crazy trying to juggle all the work that comes to a photographer in the fall, so hopefully in the coming months, I’ll have a bit more time to dedicate to posting [...]
