Everybody who knows me knows that I’m a sucker for a good snowfall. Needless to say that I was out with the camera today in what was my first opportunity this winter to photograph in the falling snow. Had to enjoy it while it lasts because the temperatures are already creeping up to zero and…

I did warn you about posting a lot of bird pictures (and I didn’t promise that they’d be good, either). But today I’m trying to present some alternative poses so it’s not just the traditional bird on a stick all the time. I was actually very close to trashing the great tit picture because there’s…

I’ve no idea what’s going on. My cold is not getting any better, but thankfully it’s not getting any worse either. It’s one of those mild things I typically get, but now it’s been going for almost a week and that’s very un-typical. But I’ve had enough of sitting inside and abandoned my Star Trek…

My cold is still keeping me at home, I’m not too sick not to work but I’m not well enough to travel to work and sit around other people all day either. So I’m working from home; nice to have that option. This morning when I woke up, the landscape had transformed – it looks…

I learned something else about photographing from a blind: dress warmly. I froze my butt off on Saturday and apparently wasn’t warm enough on Sunday either because I now have a cold. Let’s hope it’s not the swine variety and that I will get off as easy as I normally do. The worst part about…

The winter is making itself heard. Or seen. We got quite a few days with snowfall and twice we ever got a snow cover to speak of, but because the temperatures were constantly hovering around zero, the snow was gone overnight or during the day so I didn’t have any snow left at my snow…

As I said yesterday, I expected there to be more birds and as it turned out, there were. Constant traffic! I sat in the blind for two hours, shot 213 frames and kept… 9. I wouldn’t be doing this with film! Normally I’m happy if I just get something which is sharp and correctly exposed…

I decided to try a new approach to bird photography – I built a hide. It’s still very close to home, but just a little bit in the forest so the birds don’t have to come out in the open to feed. I set up a lot of food and a few perches (work in…

Late in the season, I’m still exploring new places. We were following the same river that we visited last week, and it meant discovering more remnants of log driving activity in these waters. The rock walls that line up the riverbank in some places is an obvious sign of log driving, but then there are…

If you look at the world map, you won’t see any white space anymore – we (humans) have been everywhere. The time of the great explorers is now but an exciting story in a book. What is left is personal discovery – just because some other people have been there before, doesn’t mean that it’s…
