Chris and I have been trying to set up another Adirondack camping trip for this summer, but our busy schedules and his lack of reliable transportation (his car is on the fritz and my car is too small and cheap to carry two kayaks) have kept us from setting up a date and doing more photography. Fortunately, I was able to get quite a few shots I like from last summer to hold me over until I can plan another successful loon outing.

This photograph of a Common Loon was taken in the early morning, as fog lay low over the mountain lake. I created a silhouette of the bird against the white surface of the water, then used Photoshop to transform the image into black and white and enhance the contrast, creating this striking final image.

fantastic image. I like the contrast between the black feathers and the white water.

Kari - love this shot. I edited one of my loon shots like this after seeing yours. I love the space and mood created here.
