I’ve been sinking deeper into my love for nature photography over the past 5 years, and I’ve written “wish lists” of the shots I’m still hoping to get. The American Bald Eagle was at the top of the list for a long time.
I pulled together some of my favorite moments spent watching animals, butterflies, birds, flowers, sunsets and moonrises through my camera and added a little music to create a video showcasing what I love to do.
The point of Fauxto Friday was a way for me to showcase the ways I use Photoshop to edit and retouch photos in order to remove objects, swap out backgrounds, restore damaged prints or, in the case of the featured photo of this post, create something arty and new.
For this week’s No-Touch Tuesday feature, I set out to purposely take a photo that I knew I could be happy with as it was. And then the clouds rolled-and then the rain came down-and then all the birds and butterflies went silent. In that overcast stillness, I could see light reflecting in the raindrops on the pine needles.
Another Friday, another beautiful bird fauxto! I’ve spoken before of the magical backyard I’m fortunate to have. I rarely have to travel outside its boundaries to find spectacular displays of flora and fauna. While I spent last year with my lens focused on flowers and insects, this spring I’m all about the birds.
