Photographing a sunrise with the birds
A couple of weekends ago I made another trip to the Pottawatomie County fishing lake just outside of Manhattan, Kansas to photograph sunrise. I’ve visited this lake for my first sunrise of 2014 and for some reason I’ve been drawn to visit it again. On this particular Saturday morning I almost didn’t venture out with my […]
Strange Photography Opportunities for the First of Spring
It seems like winter really didn’t want to leave this year with several late snow storms coming through the area. I know I’ve complained about the snowy weather (who hasn’t) which was a largely wasted effort on my part. The weather will be what it will be (this summer I’ll be complaining about the heat […]

Wandering the shoreline of Tuttle Creek Lake….again.
This past Monday I was feeling the need to get out somewhere with my camera and photograph something. Last weekend I didn’t make it out and was starting to go through withdrawal. The temperatures were not ideal (it was cold, cold, cold) but I had a partially cloudy sky to work with and the […]
Front Yard Birds
With the recent snow storm in my area and the gloomy cloudy days I haven’t made it out to the countryside for a while now. I can’t say I’m going through withdrawal or anything like that (it hasn’t been that long) but I have missed spending some time outside. I did get a bit of […]
Photographing Kansas Elk and Bison at the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge
(ISO 400, 400mm, f/5.6, 1/60) This past weekend I had another opportunity to visit the Maxwell Wildlife Refuge, located near Canton, Kansas. The refuge hosted a special event the past two weekends for photographers to visit the reserve and photograph the bison and elk. This is the third time I’ve been to one of these […]
Stalking and photographing a couple of windmills
I’ve had an obsession with photographing the moon in the landscape for a long time, an obsession that started by watching the moon rise over a windmill just outside of Manhattan, Kansas. I didn’t get a photograph that first time I really watched (and took the time to really see) the moon rise over the horizon, […]
A couple of beautiful sunrises at the River Ponds
(7 shot stitched panorama: each frame ISO 100, 10mm, f/8, 1/25) At the risk of “TMI”, I’ve been working on developing some better habits for 2014, one of which is setting a regular sleep schedule and getting up at 6:30 a.m. I haven’t been much of a morning person so the first week of this […]
