The idea of creating street photography without people probably seems like an oxymoron to a lot of folks, perhaps even a majority. For whatever reason there are two genres of photography that have never appealed to me to any great degree… people and astrophotography.

Capturing the Moment
This article is about capturing the moment when we’re photographing birds.
But… first off… my apologies for not posting a new article for the past couple of weeks. Time is a perishable commodity that sometimes is difficult to manage. Juggling projects… and then recently getting laid up for a quite a few days with the flu hasn’t helped.
For most of this month I’ve been focusing the bulk of my efforts on finishing a new eBook… which is finally very near completion… with an announcement imminent.
Reflections
There are many composition approaches that can be used with photography, including using reflections of birds and other subjects on the surface of calm water.
Photographing Small BIF
One of the challenges that I enjoy is photographing small BIF (birds-in-flight) in their environments, especially when amongst tree branches and other potential obstructions. Even very common birds like sparrows can take on an added dimension when capturing them in-flight in these situations.
Raptors at Mountsberg Raptor Centre
This article features some older images of raptors captured at the Mountsberg Raptor Centre about ten years ago. I’ve been culling old images from my main office system for a quite a while now. As this process continues, I periodically come across files that I had previously not fully reviewed.
So, while these images are old, they still may be of interest to readers as many of them illustrate ospreys in-flight. I had processed a few of these photographs in the past. This article also contains some newly processed in-flight images, as well as a selection of newly processed raptor portrait-style images.
Making Things Easy
A few days ago while raking leaves I was reminded about the importance of making things easy. This simple reality can directly impact our approach to photography and how we buy camera gear.
Pushing Boundaries
Pushing boundaries with whatever we do in life is a fundamental part of personal growth, and part of the journey of self-discovery. For many, pushing boundaries is how they evaluate success.
Forest Compositions at Niagara Glen
This article features a number of forest compositions recently captured handheld at Niagara Glen Nature Centre. It discusses some of the compositional considerations used. As you review the featured images you may find the EXIF data of interest as we’ve included the focusing distance used for various photographs.
Forest HHFS Macro Images
This article shares a selection of forest HHFS macro images captured during a recent visit to the Niagara Glen Nature Centre. Over the past number of years I have come to more fully appreciate the photographic potential of using in-camera handheld focus stacking (HHFS) for my macro photography.
Lowville Park Landscape Images
This article features some Lowville Park landscape images captured handheld using the M.Zuiko 12-100 mm f/4 IS PRO zoom lens. A friend and I were on our way to Elora (a possible subject for another posting) and decided to stop in to photograph the fall colours at Lowville Park in Ontario.
