Back again, Back again!!

Wahoo I am back on the blog again. I took a big break from it this summer due to the fact that I just moved in my own house June 18th of this year. So I am going to make fun of Al D if he doesnot post anything for a few shall we do it.  So to the real stuff here on the blog. I had the advantage the other day to get up at sunrise and take some cool fog shoots while I am visiting my dad in Warrenton this week, while his wife is away. I did lots of photographs of the fog at sunrise and at a different location yesterday morning to see what kinds of things I could get while it was still foggy and the conditions were holding up for it. I took this picture at the beaver swamp behind my dads house. It was really cool to photograph fog there and I enjoyed every minute of taking the advantage of taking fog pictures. The picture to the right is another location , I took pictures of the fog at during that morning. It was still producing huge amounts of fog everywhere amd...

Good Birds plus interesting light

Hey its Al from Bugging in studios. I am writing about an outing I did at Jordan Lake for a sunrise shot with my mentor Al D. Sunrise conditions that day were very interesting at Jordan Lake. We saw lots of wading birds that included Great Blue Herons, Great Egrets, Double Crested Comorrants. We also photographed osprey and the osprey attempting multiple times to catch a fish here. Osprey are very common birds at Jordan Lake and they hunt fish just like the Great Blue Herons do . This photograph of a silhouetted Double Crested Commorant taking flight during sunrise conditions at Jordan Lake. Double Crested Commorants are very common around Jordan Lake and around central North Carolina, If you are lucky enough to phograpgh them in the wild. This is an osprey that attempted to catch a fish at Jordan Lake while me and my mentor were there photographing. I attempted multiple times to catch an osprey catching a fish here at Jordan Lake. After many ...

Happy Aviation Day !

Happy National Aviation  Day for plane photographers like me and many others. I take lots of commercial airplane photographs from Raleigh Durham International Airport that is only 15 minutes away from me. I can photograph planes from my neighborhood pond as well that have taken off from RDU International Airport as well.

Sad Saturday

Hey hey its Shark Saturday for the part of my beach week theme. I took this photo of dead sand bar shark on the beach. I was stunned by all the creatures that I found dead on the beach in march. I was really concerned about the environment and what could have caused all  the wildlife I saw for three days just die right away. I had never seen anything just like this on a beach until now in Virginia Beach. This is another photograph I took that same day of a dead fish on the beach. It was very strange to see this in the same day. I hope the environment knows better now!

Happy Foam Friday

Hey Hey its beach week theme for this week of August this year. I took this picture of the foam on Virginia Beach, Virginia this past March 2018. I never posted this photo till now,  for my beach  theme for August this year. The temperature when I took these photos were in the mid 60s that day and windy of course which made it fun to chase down the foam on the beach. I had a blast doing all the photos in the wind of the foam. I did several compositions of the foam on the beach that was rolling due to high winds that day in march when I was taking the photographs of the foam. It was very cool to photograph foam on the beach and maybe next time I will get lucky and maybe get a Willett in it.
