Great Egret Nest, Black And White
Great Egret pair on a Cypress Tree nest.
Created in Lightroom, DxO Silver Efex, and DxO PhotoLab. That may sound like a lot, but the software is so integrated it’s a simple flow.
If I had not been using Lightroom for so many years I could probably eliminate it for all my B&W work. However for color and file management it’s still important.
Gate Web – Monochrome
This gates sits open 10 months a year, only closes a marsh road during the winter.
There’s lot of time for things to grow in and around the iron.
Bear Island WMA, South Carolina.
Marsh Fog, Black And White
The fog did not burn off with the sun. It stayed heavy, low to the ground for hours.
ACE Basin, South Carolina marsh in the fog.
Snowy Egret, Soft Monochrome
The Snowny Egrets don’t have quite the same flowing feathers as the larger Egrets, but they still their own unique look.
Also Great Egrets can’t come close to the little guys crazy antics.
Interesting Alligator
I was staring almost directly into the sun, not a place to take a photo. I had no plans to either.
I looked down and he changed my mind.
It must have been that captivating smile.

Egret – Cypress In Sepia
This photograph was finished in a sepia style. The bird was standing on the banks of a swamp beside a large Cypress Tree.
