Great Egret
An early morning shot, Egret in a small inlet.
This is a scheduled article.
Exploring B&W High Key, Alligator
At times lately I have been using my backup camera since it weighs less than my usual ‘stuff’. That makes for some interesting choices while shooting.
My backup is a Canon 70D and much less customization is available. This was my ‘go to’ body for years and it provided some great, and ‘successful’ photographs. I have friends that will not give theirs up, and they produce outstanding professional work.
I don’t have the ‘muscle memory’ , automatically know where dials and fingers need be at any given moment for the 70D. So there is a new learning curve.
However, I now remember the cameras strength and weakness. I have enjoyed, for the most part, my old friend.
Night Heron, B&W
Another shot that I did not consider for Black and White at first. Don’t know why, it’s what I grew up on.
Great Blue, Sepia To Match The Day
Fall and dark days are here in Charleston now. Good news, not everyday. And yes, even here there is a chill in the air. The Heron photograph here fit that feeling.
However, I am originally from up north. This weather is just fine, considering the alternatives.
Dramatic Egret
This is not my usual wildlife image, but I like it. Real drama in black and white.
This should be viewed full screen.
I think this shows the true nature of a Great Egret. People see these big beautiful white birds. Gorgeous plumage and elegant flight.
Truth be told they are one of the most aggressive predators in the marshes and swamps. They can be particularly brutal. Not at all what they project to be.
Pelican, Black And White
Wildlife photography doesn’t always work well in Black and White.
With the stark background this one appears to fit the format better than most.
Old Depot, Black And White
In an old train yard. Cars are from the Erie Railroad, Pullman cars, Pennsylvania Railroad.
I can’t think of a better scene than this to finish in an old black and white contrast style.
