Nikon 1 Ducks in Flight
While going through some old files I found some Nikon 1 ducks in flight images from almost 3 years ago that I had not processed. So, I spent a bit of time going back through these photographs and processing them so I could share them with readers… and let my mind wander a bit.
Tagged Trumpeter Swans
I’ve received a few enquiries asking about the tagged trumpeter swans that are in many of my images from LaSalle Park. Rather than respond to those emails individually I thought readers may have an interest in the background information about the tagged trumpeter swans.
Photographing Multiple BIF
This article discusses some of the considerations that can be used when photographing multiple BIF (birds-in-flight). As photographers each of us has our own objectives and preferred approach to creating images.
Photographic By-products
When I’m out with my camera I often have a specific objective in mind… but sometimes Mother Nature surprises me with some unexpected photographic by-products. Such was the case with the images of ducks in flight featured in this article.
Lasso Tool Quick Samples
This article features a small collection of lasso tool quick samples showing some adjustments made with this PhotoShop tool. It is a fairly simple tool to use and can make a difference to images for photographers who don’t mind spending a little more time in post with their files. I assume other software programs have similar capability.
BIF No Crop Practice Images
This article shares some BIF no crop practice images which were captured during a recent visit to LaSalle Park in Burlington Ontario. At certain times of the year Southern Ontario has a more limited number of bird species to photograph. Rather than view this as a negative I try to use the available birds as good practice subjects.
Rediscovered Moments
As photographers many of us have had rediscovered moments when we’ve gone through some of our unprocessed image files and found some useable photographs. Over the past few weeks I’ve been cleaning up some old photography files that for whatever reason I left dormant and unprocessed. This article shares some rediscovered moments.
Flying During a Snowfall
This article shares a selection of handheld images captured a few day ago of ducks flying during a snowfall at Grimsby harbour. As regular readers know I enjoy pushing my camera gear from time to time just to see what will happen.
Swan Landing on Snow
This article features 31 consecutive handheld images showing a swan landing on snow at LaSalle Park in Burlington Ontario. We had a major snowstorm on Monday last week that dumped about 45 cm (~17.7 inches) of snow on the town in which I live. Some quite cold temperatures followed the storm. As a result I hadn’t been out with my camera for a number of days.
