Wet and Wild

Today I decide to call this Post "Wet and Wild", just like the water park in Greensboro.

I got a phone call by photography mentor to do lightning storm photos tonight.

By the time we got to his pond the storm was in fully charging with bolts but the rain did not stop us then.


At the first location I used ISO  400 and the manual bulb mode to do this shot at my photography mentors pond, right across from were he lives. By the time it had started raining we decided to pack up from his pond location.


We then went to  my pond location at my neighborhood We got really good lightning photos at my neighborhood pond.

In these photographs done at my pond I used the Manual mode again with the ISO set to 250 which is good for capturing lightning at night.

Including some cloud bolt shots with them just like these, that i am about to show you readers that read my blog.

Hope everyone got some sleep with this thunderstorm that lasted till 3 'clock in the morning.

Right Sunrise conditions at Jordan Lake plus good birds

Today I did a sunrise shot with my photography mentor who seemed to be chimping some open his photos today.




This is a Great Blue Heron I took during the sunrise at Jordan Lake Today. We spotted a pair of them doing territorial stand offs which was impressive to photograph today as well.

This was the when the territorials between the two Great Blue Herons were fighting between which territory belonged to them. I got many good shots of this.


This is also a pair of Black Voltures that seemed to be enjoying this beautiful morning grooming and just hanging around the side of Jordan Lake which I also got many shots of them doing their grooming styles for the day.


The other photos I got included a swallowtail butterfly, bees  and a new stump I got there today.
Here is a bee on the same flower that before the swallowtail was on.

Hatching of Prey Mantis!!

Hey Hey its AL back with an exciting news from my house today!  I have successfully, I have had 1 prey mantis egg sack today that hatched finally . I put 4 up in February 2020 and one hatched today which was amazing to watch and I got many pictures of them hatching from the egg sack today.


These are chins baby matins that recently had this morning and I got several different shots of them playing with each other after they were born out of the egg sack.








I have been waiting many years for the successfully hatching and it finally happened today! I got some portrait shots of them as well when they emerged from the egg sack as well.



I am looking forward to documenting and photographing the Chinese Mantis in the different life cycles this year and hopefully I get some more hatching pictures this week.
