Eye Level With An Egret

Composition & Creativity

It makes no difference if your subject is a critter or a person, eye contact in the photo helps create a more engaging photo. Getting eye level with the subjects creates a connection between them and the viewer. Sounds easy right? As easy as it sounds to just shoot when the animal is looking at you, it practice it is rarely possible to just walk up and shoot an instant masterpiece photo. Getting eye level with and capturing the right type of eye contact for the composition requires thought, a careful approach, and attention not just to the subject, but everything going on around you. Even with birds in flight.

Eye Level With An Egret

Getting eye level with a bird in flight is not often easy while standing on the ground. However, with a telephoto lens, birds in the distance can appear to be eye level in the photo. I created this image using a photo of a Great Egret taken with a focal length of 520 then I blended texture layers with it to achieve the final look.

Her Majesty Orchidaceae

Composition & Creativity
Her Majesty Orchidaceae

Bombarded by potential photo subjects during our trip to Hawaii, I snapped a shot of several beautiful orchids walking back to our hotel room after breakfast. A creative treatment helped bring out the royal purples of the original photo.

Getting the Best Angle on a Reddish Egret

How-to & Reviews

Reddish Egret at Sunrise

Sometimes getting into position for a better angle of view requires getting down and dirty. I was really loving the light on the row of posts and the bird. To maximize their impact I needed to move to my left without scaring the egret. So, already sitting in the wet sand, I scooted a few inches at a time, on my backside until I felt I had a better composition. I also had a Grackle and a Great Egret try to get in the shot but since they seemed to detract from the picture, I waited until they left.

It’s Sunny Outside

Composition & Creativity

I love creating a sense of motion with my camera. I moved the camera while pressing the shutter button to create this shot. A texture overlay with some blending helps create a sense of nostalgia–as if looking through the window of an old farmhouse.

Hitching a Ride

A Fitting Art Work for Easter

Composition & Creativity

With Easter approaching and the pandemic on my mind, I find this image calms me and reminds me that while there are many unknowns, there is also much we do know.

We do not know, for certain, where and how this virus originated. We do not understand why it affects some people more severely than others. We wonder when we will be able to travel freely without fear of infection. We pray it spares our family and friends.

We do know, we are not the first people to face this type of challenge. Many who came before us faced much worse and we are proof of their resilience. We are not alone, even if it feels that way. We will be okay.

Hope Springs Eternal

Adventures & Stories
Hope Springs Eternal

In spring, the Indian Paintbrush is commonly seen along Texas highways and in fields throughout the state. Most commonly a bright red but occasionally a plant with a color variation is seen. There is a simple beauty in a white flowers. Often associated with true love, innocence, humility, and reverence, white flowers evoke a sense of hope in me.

In spring of 2020, the year of the Covid-19 pandemic, I have hope for the resilience of mankind.

Harborside: A Study of Lines

Composition & Creativity

I was fascinated by the port activities in Saint John, New Brunswick. Admittedly, I love almost anything related to salt water but to me areas where freight and cargo are moved from ship to shore and vice versa always seem more industrial than coastal. But, I did spend some time surveying the “landscape” of the port area and found there were many little scenes with spots of bright color or juxtaposition of elements that I felt might make for interesting photo compositions.

Harborside: A Study of Lines depicts one of those scenes. The addition of textures, some dodging and burning, and a few brush strokes take an industrial setting and transforms it into more of an abstract piece by emphasizing the lines in the image.

Harborside: A Study of Lines

The large crane provides an excellent subject for the study of lines.
