Here’s another photograph from my Chincoteague trip a couple of weeks ago.  This will probably be my last blog post on the trip, because I’m hoping to get out and shoot around Virginia in the next couple of days.
My absolute favorite subjects to photograph at Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge are the wild ponies.  Ever since [...]

This past week has been somewhat of a transitional period for me, so I apologize for the long delay between posts.  Friday was my last day of work at Project USE for the fall season, and I have spent the past couple days packing up my belongings and spending some quality time with my co-workers before [...]

Yesterday Chris and I met a friend Kyle to do some herping in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.  We ended up having a very successful day, finding and photographing several species, including six species that I had never seen nor photographed before.  Our finds for the day included: 10 Carpenter Frogs (lifer and new stock [...]

Yesterday, I met up with a friend to do some herping in a favorite nature preserve of his in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  We didn’t find any unusual species, but stumbled across quite a few Northern Dusky Salamanders, Redback Salamanders, Northern Two-lined Salamanders, and Green Frogs.  We also found a half-eaten flying squirrel, wood frog tadpoles, and a [...]

Northern Two-lined Salamanders, such as this one, can be found alongside creeks and streams, usually hiding under rocks right near the water’s edge.  They are quite common and I found many of these critters on my trip to Washington Crossing State Park in Titusville, New Jersey yesterday.  Despite how common they are, they can be [...]

Every once in a while, you just get lucky. Nature photography is no exception, although the nature photographer who just gets lucky won’t have many images on file and none of them will be very good. With nature photography, getting a good shot is more often than not the result of days or weeks or [...]

When you go and photograph nature subjects, it usually pays to be ready for anything.  Such was the case when kayaking on a woodland lake one morning last summer.  Chris and I planned a weekend long camping trip in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, primarily to photograph loons that live on the mountain lakes.  [...]

Every once in a while, often when I can’t find anything else to photograph, I turn to tree bark as a subject.  The bark of trees usually has unique patterns that can make for interesting photos, and since trees don’t move and their trunks don’t change, they can be photographed just about whenever you please.  This makes [...]

Even if you live in a city, you don’t often have to go very far to find places where good subjects can be discovered and photographed. While I am fortunate enough to not live in metropolitan area, I do live in the most densely populated state in the US, so areas of open wild space, [...]

The male Harlequin Duck is a very colorful and beautiful bird, with bold patterns of dark slate blue, rusty orange, black, and white. This can make exposure of these birds, especially in direct sun, very difficult. Fortunately, modern technology and software such as Adobe Camera Raw make it possible to recover some detail [...]
