Photography

Lately I have been playing around with video.  For years, I have switched my dSLR over to video mode every once in a while, to record some of the wildlife I was seeing, but recently I have been doing that more often...

...For the last show, I chose to do river otters, my favorite animal on the river to photograph. I have about 12,000 otter images in my Lightroom library. Probably 10,000 more than I need to keep, but I have a difficult time eliminating otters.  Each picture brings back fond memories of the countless hours I have spent watching them. I hope these 15 minutes you spend watching the otters give you a little insight into why I find them so fascinating.

This year would have marked my 10th year in a row going to Lake Clark National Park to photograph bears. And my 9th time leading a tour there. But the coronavirus, and fear of COVID-19, put an end to my to my streak...

The theme for this week's slide show is night. The time when most photographers put their cameras away, can be some of the most exciting time to photograph...

In 2013 I moved to within ¼ mile of the American River in Sacramento, CA. These images represent 7 years of photography.

I have 8,091 keyworded images of Great Blue Herons (there may be more without keywords!) I have probably discarded a similar number. Second to eagles, these are my most photographed birds.

This week’s slide show contains 60 different species of mammals.

For this week’s slide show I picked the theme of May.

Over the years I have taken a lot of bird images. I have proboaly thrown away more than I have kept, and I should throw away many more. At this point, I have kept about 73,000 bird pictures...

There is an old adage in photography “f/8 and be there.”

I built this slide show by searching for all the pictures I have taken at f/8 since I took my first digital images in 2002. That is when I began experimenting with digital cameras. I did not buy my first dSLR until 2004. I went through many models of Canon cameras and now 16 years later I am shooting with a Nikon. Who knows what the future will hold?
