All the images on this card were created at Fort DeSoto in either late September or very early October. I hope that you can join me there this fall. Click on the composite to enjoy a larger version. Clockwise from upper left to […] What’s Up? Tuesday was much like Monday had been. I took an early 2.4 miles rope flow walk, got some work done on my taxes, did some food shopping in town, napped, did my bursts, did the Mattes isolated active stretching routine for my shoulders, swam, and took a 1.7 mile walk down by the […] Which Lighting do you Prefer for Bald Eagle Images? Do you like images made in cloudy conditions, like Image #1? Or do you prefer those made in full sun, like Image #2? Why? What’s Up Monday was more of the same but for the fact that I ditched my rope and walked from home […] What’s Up? Sunday: worked on taxes, took a 2.4-mile flow rope walk, watched US Open Tennis, swam 1/2-mile, napped, and did my bursts. Today is Monday 5 September 2022. The schedule for today: finish this blog post, watch the Kyrgios/Medvedev US Open Tennis match, take an early flow rope walk, take care of some […] Gear Questions and Advice Too many folks attending BAA IPTs and dozens of photographers whom I see in the field and on BPN, are — out of ignorance — using the wrong gear, especially when it comes to tripods and more especially, tripod heads. And the same is true in spades when ordering new camera […] Your Call? Which of today’s two sharp, tight flight images do you like best? Why? I have a clear choice. What’s Up? On Friday, I got some work done on my 2021 taxes and got into the pool for my 1/2-mile swim for the first time in more than a month. Older daughter Jennifer […] If You Enjoy the Blog … Please, if you enjoy and learn from the blog, remember to use one of my two affiliate programs when purchasing new gear. Doing so just might make it possible for me to avoid having to try to get a job as a Walmart greeter and will not cost you […] What’s Up? I was in the car headed south at 4:15am on Wednesday morning. I made lots of pit stops along the way to rest and to get some work done. It’s amazing that you can set up an office in most McDonald’s for the price of a small cup of coffee. I finally made […] What’s Up? After our late, great — thanks-again-to-B&H, ate-too-much dinner at Prime Bistro in Lawrence, Long Island, I was barely able to drag myself out of bed and to the beach early on a cloudy Tuesday morning for what turned out to be another pleasingly successful blur session. See the three images from above. […] What’s Up? The forecast for Monday morning was for cloudy with a southeast breeze. Pretty good. The reality was that it was perfectly clear with a variable breeze, mostly from the southwest. Pretty bad. Photography-wise, it was the worst morning of the trip. Despite the hazy, hot, and very humid weather, I enjoyed my 1.5 […] Canon 800mm f/5.6L ISUSM Lens/with extras! BAA Record-low Price! Price Reduced $400 on 18 July 2022!

The forecast for Saturday morning was for cloudy with a north wind so I headed to Jamaica Bay without hesitating. It turned out to be sunny and clear with a north wind; I should have been at Nickerson Beach. Late Saturday afternoon was looking great for an orange/peach sunset filled with silhouettes […] What’s Up? On Friday morning at the East Pond, there were far fewer birds than there had been the day before. The small pond that held hundreds of birds the day before, held only a few individuals. The water level has continued to drop from evaporation. There has been no rain to speak of in […] Which is the Strongest Image? Why did you make your choice? What’s Up? Sandy Brown of Seattle and Sanjeev Nagrath of Chappaqua, NY enjoyed a fine Thursday morning at the East Pond. We had lots of shorebirds, mostly juveniles, some too close to focus. Our biggest problem as the tide rose in the surrounding […] Which of Today’s Six Featured Images is Your Favorite? Why? What’s Up? Wednesday morning at JBWR was decent with fewer bugs and some nice cool air. The NW breeze freshened as the morning went on eliminating the mosquitoes but making photography more difficult. A strong onshore breeze at Nickerson in the afternoon made things fun, […] What’s Up? On Tuesday morning, I headed to the East Pond at the last second after deciding to stay in. It was warm and still and buggy and muggy. A hazy sun broke through for about 30 minutes at 6:30am. Working at 1/500 second at 840mm, I created 748 images and kept 37 — 1/500 […] Which of Today’s Four Featured Images is the Strongest Overall?
