Update Old Photos with New Nikon Picture Controls :: Part 2
This is an extension (or part 2) of my previous post, Nikon Picture Control Modes, NX2 // Part 1, and shows an example of why RAW NEF files are so good to have. I have been adjusting my post processing methods to include the Nikon ViewNX and Capture NX2 and have found some amazing uses…

Great Horned Owl at Auburn’s Raptor Center
Sometimes when photographing wildlife you just have to be in the right place at the right time. This is no small owl, the Great Horned Owl is quite large, and their flight is so silent that I have seen them fly across a large pasture, right by my head, and never knew they were there…

Coypu Nutria or Marmot or Prairie Dog Relaxing
This image of the day is a little different. This is a Coypu or Nutria, sort of like a beaver with a cat-like tail. This, not so little, guy just sat here with me for about an hour. Animals can be a lot of fun to photograph, if they cooperate, and they usually don’t. When…

Something about spiders and spider webs makes for some neat subjects. Add a little morning mist or dew and they really light up.

Busy Streets of Downtown Birmingham at Night
I wanted to throw something a little different in there today for the image of the day, like an image of the night instead. One of my favorite times to shoot anything, photography related of course, is first light, last light, and at night. At night you can get some really unique perspectives you can’t…

Using the Beauty of Simplicity in Photography
Sometimes I really like abstracts for their simplicity. This image was taken in Gainesville, GA (not the “other” one in Florida), on a mountain pond. I almost didn’t stop to take the shot but I am glad I did. Â This particular shot was one of the first sets of images I did on film back…

Starting off the day with a sunset. This image was taken looking west, of course, over the bay waters in Saint Marks National Wildlife Refuge in Florida at sunset. The pieces rising up are a broken pier that leads out into the waters. Sunset at Saint Marks NWR – Image of the Day This is…
