Your Call? Which of today’s three featured images do you like best? Please leave a comment and be sure to let us know why. What’s Up Tuesday was a tough day at Nickerson. It started off OK, but the sun broke through early and the wind switched from east to south making things difficult. […] What’s Up? I had another amazing morning at Nickerson Beach on Monday. It was raining when I arrived, but tapered off quickly. I began creating (hopefully) pleasing blurs of skimmers skimming. After an hour, they quit, so I headed to the beach on the basis of the north/northeast wind and the soft light and tried […] Your Call? Which of today’s three featured images do you like best?

I will be photographing early at Nickerson […] Whats Up? Private client Anke Frohlich and I enjoyed another long day at Nickerson Beach on Saturday. The morning was pretty much a bust with the sky clearing much too early and a brisk wind from the west. As always, wind against sun is a very tough situation. I took a great, short, early nap […] Your Call … Which of today’s four featured images is your favorite? Why? What’s Up? I swam for the third straight day, did some shopping, and prepared a picnic basket for today, Saturday 7 August. I am aiming to break my record of 13 hours at Nickerson Beach. Again, I will be photographing with […] Your Call? According to you, which is the stronger image (by far)? Why? What’s Up? For the first time ever, I spent 13 hours at the beach. With the delayed entry time at Nickerson Beach, I had been thinking about staying all day to avoid having to re-enter at 6pm. So when private In-the-Field client […] Your Call Which of today’s two featured images is the strongest? Which is the cutest? Please let us know why you made your choices. Also, would you lose the dark smudge in the upper left corner of Image #2? Why or why not? What’s Up? I had a great, still, soft-box of a morning […] This Just In I began work on this blog post on Tuesday evening and almost finished it, but decided to hit the sack. Then I looked at the weather for Lido Beach — cloudy with light and variable winds. I set the alarm for 5am but woke at 4:39. I headed for Nickerson Beach and […] What’s Up? Well, I finally got out to photograph on Monday afternoon. In spades! I left Ronkonkoma at 2:30pm and made it to JBWR in an hour with little traffic. I made my way to the northwest end of the East Pond to find very muddy conditions. I almost went down/got stuck in the dangerously […] What’s Up? With the unusually cool August weather here on Long Island I have been leading the league in relaxing, and sleeping nine to ten hours every night. I have been taking a nice walk and doing my bursts every day, and will be hitting the community pool at my sister Ilene’s home soon.

I got to younger daughter Alissa’s home in Lake Ronkonkoma at about 9am and spent the day relaxing. Once the storm passed, it was a dry, beautiful, sunny, cool day, quite unusual for August on Long Island. At about 3:30pm, we headed to Cedar Beach for a nice swim in the Sound. Then […] What’s Up? Today is Friday 30 July 2021. Keep reading to learn about my very long Thursday that ended very wet. I was glad to learn that BPN friend Kevin Hice was the third to sign up for Homer.

Please leave a comment and let us know why you made your choice. What’s Up? I finished packing on Wednesday morning and left early, headed for the Auto Train station in Sanford, FL, figuring I could nap on the way down if need be. […] The East Pond The East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Queens, NY was the place to observe and photograph North America’s southbound migrant shorebirds from 1975 through about 2010. Then, for reasons noted below, the place pretty much went down the tubes due to high water levels. At present, it seems that the folks […] The East Pond The East Pond at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Queens, NY was the place to observe and photograph North America’s southbound migrant shorebirds from 1975 through about 2010. Then, for reasons noted below, the place pretty much went down the tubes due to high water levels. At present, it seems that the folks […] The East Pond Homer Bald Eagles Winter 2021 Yes, this is an expensive (but competitively priced) trip. The price of the boat and the price of the fish have risen astronomically since my last visit in 2020. But the photography is beyond amazing. Flight photography with any lens till you cannot raise your arms, creative […] A Focus Stacking Question … As far as I know, none of the SONY bodies feature auto focus-stacking. If I focus bracket manually — Focus Peaking would make that relatively easy, is there a program that will auto-assemble the focus-bracketed series? If yes, which one is easiest to use? Homer Bald Eagles Winter 2021 […] What’s Up? Several folks commented or e-mailed on the difficulty of photographing the Swallow-tailed Kites near Deland. They were 100% correct.
