A few mornings ago I went for some more long exposure photography with a decent amount of moonlight over me. This was at Lake Monticello. I tried (not crazy about the results) some light painting from the dock too.

Photographing The Milky Way
The posts this week will follow the common theme of long exposure photography again. I setup for a special type of combined photo (which I'll post Thursday). Before I left to go home I turned my camera to grab a photograph of the Milky Way. This is the setup I mentioned in last week's encouragement. … Continue reading Photographing The Milky Way
More Birds and Butterflies
Ok, no bees or hummingbirds on this setup. After the setup which I've already posted from these past two days I put some bird feed out in a different spot close to my garden with the hopes of catching a few birds eating the seed. As I waited I kept seeing butterflies and moths behind … Continue reading More Birds and Butterflies
The Target: Hummingbirds
I mentioned yesterday having a particular photograph I was looking to get. While I've setup near my garden taking pictures of birds and whatnot I'd see hummingbirds around my Zinnias but could never get a photo. This time I setup closer and tried to keep my camera ready and pointed towards the Zinnias (but as … Continue reading The Target: Hummingbirds
Long Exposure Photography At The Lake
I mentioned last week getting back into long exposure photography. The other morning I was out at Lake Monticello early to walk before it got too hot. I took some long exposure photos of the stars from the parking lot. Long exposure photography is enjoyable especially this time of year! Recent Perseid Meteors Long Exposure … Continue reading Long Exposure Photography At The Lake
Backyard Birding
It seems the post so far this week has been photography of birds. We'll go with the pattern one more day this week. In the evenings when I go down to my garden I seem to always scare birds out of my sunflowers. I've still got a few plants down there from sunflowers I planted … Continue reading Backyard Birding
Cut Off Creek Birds
We took our son to Cut-Off Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA) a few weekends ago to spend some time outside before he had to go back to school. While there at the creek this pair of Whit Ibis (I think, again not a bird expert) kept hanging around the creek. They flew off but returned … Continue reading Cut Off Creek Birds
Perseid Meteors
At the beginning of this week I've been able to go out to Lake Monticello for one of my favorite photography outings. The Perseid Meteor shower. It is one of my favorite times but one I've not been able to do in several years! Either scheduling, weather, health, etc... the list of excuses is long. … Continue reading Perseid Meteors
Early Morning At The Lake (Again)
I've been on a pattern lately of some early morning photography. I went back to Lake Monticello for some more photos. While there for the photos I posted yesterday I thought of wanting to try it again. So, I went back on Friday morning before work! I ended up taking my favorite photo of the … Continue reading Early Morning At The Lake (Again)
Early Morning At The Lake
I mentioned yesterday attempting an early morning photo of the stars before the sun arose. One of my favorite photo outing is taking night sky photography. It's been a while since I've attempted it so this has been a good test hopefully preparing for one of my favorite night sky photo outings soon! The other … Continue reading Early Morning At The Lake
