Patient Vulture
Waiting for the mist to clear and the sun to break free from the clouds. The vultures prefer to wait until the sun can create thermal updrafts on which to circle and glide. This helps them conserve energy as they scan the wilderness for food.
Watercolor Sky
I was in a bit of an artistic mood this weekend and this image provided a nice canvas for me to work with. The image was dark and moody with storm clouds to begin with so I simply built upon what was there as I worked with it.
Moony Blues
I was out on a long hike and night descended while I was still some distance from camp. I came upon this scene without a tripod but thankfully the high ISO capability in my primary camera allowed me to get the shot without the need for stabilization.
Morning Serenity
The deep quiet of the predawn wilderness was very calming as I walked through the mist with my camera in search of scenes like this.
Lunar Halo
I always seem to have good luck with respect to photographing moon rings when I spend time in the wilderness. This one was visible in varying intensities for about 2 hours one evening. I trekked about in the dark woods with a tripod during that time looking for different perspectives while listening to the owls and coyotes around me.
Florida Prairie Sunset
I just got back from spending some time in the wilderness away from everything including cell phone service, the internet, electricity, plumbing, etc. Nothing but nature and my cameras to amuse myself with. The first evening there I hiked out into a large prairie area at sunset and captured this lovely subdued sky scene before returning to camp.
