Visiting The Rookery at Venice again there is this Great Egret nest on the edge of the “island” in full view. For the first time I saw Great Egret chicks – how startlingly strange they look with their green skin an white “punk” plumage around their head and necks. And those big eyes, which when […]

Yesterday morning I went back to Honeymoon Island State Park. Mainly because I had heard the day before that there was a pair of Great Horned Owls that had two chicks that had fledged – AND also I had such a great day there on Saturday. On Saturday I had spent some time moving slowly […]

Today I visited Honeymoon Island State Park (by myself!!) for the first time. Not knowing what to expect I went directly to the Nature Centre and got some excellent advice on where to go. So I headed straight for the 3.5 mile nature walk. Parked, set up “bigger” with a 2x on my D4 and […]

This is my first visit to Fort DeSoto County Park in Pinellas County, Florida. So this is really only day 3 of my new project – shooting wildlife, in particular birds. It is at last warm (last week on the East side of Florida it was very cold and windy) with a pleasant breeze taking […]

So I am back on the trail shooting warbirds.

It has […]

As a photographer I am always studying the light of any potential image and I am always looking for that special, unusual and rare light. The special light doesn’t happen very often and when I can capture it with a click or two I feel extremely lucky and privileged. Here are two examples of what […]

Often, as a child, airplanes were referred to as the “big silver bird”. This description was aimed at civilian commercial airliners rather than military ‘planes (the military always applied camouflage schemes to make their aircraft less visible to the enemy). However, recently, with the restoration of old warbirds (such as the P-51 Mustang, B17 Flying […]

Nikkor 200-400mm f/4 G VRII AF-S Having made the decision to move away from shooting film in my Hasselblad “V” series cameras I spent over a year agonizing “do I go Hasselblad H4D or Nikon D3X?”. A key reason for choosing the Nikon path was that I could (eventually) get long lenses and return to Wildlife […]

I arrived at Falcon Field in Mesa a day before my photography workshop began (another story to follow). To get a feel for the location I headed into the Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) to look around and get some “static” images of their aircraft. I was surprised to see this Ural […]
