Found On A Walk, Alligator

Leave a comment

These are all random shots taken as I walked along the old dirt road running past Lodge Pond, Donnelley. It’s a scene repeated all through the dike roads.

Interesting that I walked no more than 1/4 mile, and found all these locals warming in the sun. I’m sure there were more however parts of the view are blocked by the tall grass.

A Flash Made The Difference

3 Comments

The flash referred to here is the small Godox iT32. While I  have another flash unit, a larger and older Godox it just never really felt right on smaller OM-1 cameras. The iT32 is a perfect balance on this body. My only complaint being the size is too small for my Rogue Bender soft box kits.

The flash is an interesting two piece design. There is a hot shoe mount that is available for all major camera brands, and a universal flash that sits magnetically on top of the hot shoe mount. That means if you have 2 different brands of cameras you simply buy inexpensive mounts for each brand and can use the same flash unit on each. The universal flash price is about $75.00 US, and each hot shoe  around $50.00 US. The flash is both receiver and transmitter also. In short it does whatever you might need, easily, and it’s inexpensive.

Fall Marsh Scene

Leave a comment

The golden Fall colors haven’t arrived yet, but the tall grass and reeds have lost much of their shades of green.

I would call this a halfway shot. I couldn’t decide whether to shoot full wide for a true landscape or zoom up close on the Great Egret.

He made the decision for me and started to fly off. So I ultimately got a wide shot of the bird in flight.😆

Snowy Egret – Monochrome Monday

Leave a comment

A Snowy doing a balancing act along a low hanging branch.

When I shot this I captured a series of this bird on these branches. What struck me was the birds long legs and how I could barely tell them apart from the branches he walked.

Now I See ! Little Blue

Ever since I shot this I have looked at this Heron, saw his attitude, but never got it. It was just a shot and I kept it aside.

The other day I scrolled by it again, and I finally saw it.

Bottom right a Gallinule had invaded his space. The Little Blue was not very happy about it.

Sepia Snowy Fluff, Egrets

2 Comments

I was looking around for some new Snowy Egret shots. I’ve published Great Egrets recently, even have a few in the que, but no little Snowy Egrets. My current active hard drive has thousands of images I just had to go find some Snowy’s.

I found some.

Two Snowy Egrets in some brush preening and getting all fluffy. For something different I finished them in a sepia tone.
