Time for another Rework Wednesday! This is where I take an old photo from my gallery that makes me cringe over how I originally re-touched it and give it new life! This time I chose a photo from 2017 - a macro shot of a cucumber beetle peering at me from behind a sunflower petal.
Check out my latest feature - Rework Wednesday! This is where I take an old photo from my gallery and re-edit it. I have lots of unused, raw images waiting to become new works of art, but sometimes the images I’ve previously edited make me cringe.
I have a short list of animals and birds I haven't had the chance to photograph out in the wild - my Dream Shots. It's a great feeling when I finally get a photo of those elusive creatures and mark it off my list. But something happened this weekend that made me rethink this approach.
I was looking through the hundreds of photos I've taken so far this year, and found one that inspired me to resurrect the No-Touch Tuesday category, where I shoot photos with proper camera settings and don’t edit them later.
At the beginning of the month, I'd asked for people to vote on which of the pictures in my portfolio would look best on a gallery wall. The responses to both the contest and the giveaway have been overwhelmingly kind and eye-opening as to what others see in my photos.
I redesigned my website to make it easier to purchase prints and products featuring my photos. Getting paid to take nature pictures full-time is my ultimate dream - I have a plan to make that happen, and it all starts with what YOU like best.
Blurs of white streaking across the grass or tucked into the branches of a tree. A plastic bag carelessly thrown away or tufts of insulation blowing in the breeze? The truth behind these mysterious sightings is pretty magical – it's a family of White Squirrels.
I added a lot of new photos to my nature gallery in 2022, many of them taken in my own backyard. Looking back through all those snapshots of time spent in nature is a rewarding exercise in gratitude. But it is also an intensely fun way to geek out on the computer.
I'm always grateful when someone asks me to provide photo services for any occasion. It means a lot that others think so much of my skills they want me to be the one who captures those special or important moments for them.
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.
When I decided it was time to take my photography hobby to the next level in 2017, I thought I would look more legit if I had my own website. I had lots of experience building sites for others, so designing one for myself should be a piece of cake, right?
