Everything related to outdoor photography or photography in general.
A couple of weeks ago I was out and about with a guy that hunts with a Red Tail Hawk. I don’t really know what to say about this, but wow it is something to see even though the hawk didn’t catch anything. It was so special to see her fly. She was nice...
Winter on the Texas Coast January 31, 2011 I made 6 trips for whooping cranes this month and had sunlight two mornings. The birds were always there, but the warm light of sunrise was missing. Those of you who were with me know what a big difference that made in bird activity and photo...
Happy New Year! January 1, 2011 I can’t believe 2011 is here already. The fall and early winter have flown by, and I didn’t get to do nearly as much photography as I’d hoped. I just spent most of the holidays editing and culling photo files. Still there are thousands of shots to be edited, labeled...
Block Creek Natural Area My latest instructional photography photo tour was to the Block Creek Natural Area near Comfort, Texas. I was joined there by 4 other photographers for the three day outing. Our hosts, Larry and Sharron Jay own the Turkey Hollow portion of the natural area where we enjoyed excellent accommodations and three great meals...
I found this hawk(sharp shinned?) jumping around on something in my back yard. I thought maybe it was wounded or something but after taking closer look I realized it had claimed a white wing and was looking to have dinner. It took off over a fence as I got closer but dropped the bird...
Eye to Eye Most of us don’t see “eye to eye” on everything, especially when it comes to photography. I look at several other blogs each week and try to pick out techniques and compositions that interest me. Eventually, I will try a lot of them on my own subjects and share the ones I...
I’ve been watching the red-tailed hawks near my home as they “do their thing” lately. They are always entertaining and awe-inspiring to watch. After George and I talked about the hawk having its “pigeon dinner” in his back yard the other day, I remembered seeing this video and I wanted to share it on...
I am sharing some more of my Dad’s photos he took from the porch at El Maso. Enjoy from the collection of photos taken with his Nikon Coolpix. I picked through them and am posting some of the best. Click on a photo for a slideshow. Number of View :1091
North By Northwest October 5, 2010 During the last week of September, I did a photo exhibit and sale at the First State Bank of Uvalde and then headed north and west into the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico region. I was after shots for a magazine article, but the trip was devoted mostly to photographing pronghorns. That entire area looked...
In spite of all the rain, the hummingbird migration has picked up again. Birds are back in big numbers at the Barnhart Q5 Ranch & Retreat in Berclaire and at the Seedeater Inn in Zapata. Both places usually have good numbers of hummingbirds, but rain, hurricanes and generally weird weather had scattered them this...
Fawns & Pixies For several years, I reserved August and September as indoor time to catch up on photo processing and submissions and to stay cool. I was enjoying the air conditioning again this summer when emails and calls from friends started alerting me that some wonderful things were happening outside… newborn fawns were feeding with the does and red-bordered pixie butterflies were emerging. Everyone had the...
The Dog Days are Done September 2, 2010 The dog days of summer are done and it’s cooling off a bit…from 103 to around 97 degrees. The birds are molting like crazy, so forget photographing them unless you are into naked birds. On the other hand, some of the south Texas mammals look pretty good...
Well I know it has been awhile since I have posted any photos, there just hasn,t been much out for me to take photos of since it is so hot. This photo of the screech owl is my first photos of one ever. I hope to in the next few weeks get out and ...
This is just one of the many photos that I took while I was on my trip down in South Texas. The photo was taken at the Garza Ranch just outside Rio Grande City, at a blind set up for photographers. The good thing on this trip was I was with a bunch of buddies...
