Observation skills are fundamental to all photographers, and are especially important to tune up prior to the bird spring migration season. Many of our best images stem from us being very aware of the environment around us.

Why We Need Photography
There are many reasons why we need photography. These vary by individual but are relevant and meaningful nonetheless.
Similar Subjects With Different Sensors
This article discusses photographing similar subjects with different sensors, and shares a selection of blossom images.
Article 1500 Milestone Reached
Well… it took eleven years… but this posting represents the milestone of creating and publishing article 1500 on this website. Time is a very strange thing. On one hand it feels like ages ago when my first article on this website was published back in January 2015. On the other hand, I find it incredulous that eleven years have passed. I think I must have blinked more than a few times as the years slipped by.
Moments of Solitude
With all of the craziness happening in the world around us, we can all use some moments of solitude to reflect and re-focus.
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.
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.
Overreliance on C-AF
As photographers many of us have an overreliance on C-AF (continuous auto focus) and on occasion may sub-optimize our image capturing potential. Sometimes this happens when we lose sight of our photographic objectives, and fall into habitual ways of using our camera gear.
National Wildlife Day
National Wildlife Day, held on September 4th, encourages us to improve our awareness of the natural world around us. This article shares some images of wildlife captured over a number of years ago. I certainly don’t profess to be a wildlife photographer… but I do enjoy observing and photographing wildlife.
