Posted on July 19, 2022
I am still going through images from our visit to the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge which is 12 miles south of Cambridge, Maryland. The images here are of a Great Blue Heron roosting in a tree along the Wildlife Drive. It seemed like it liked posing for me so I had a lot of poses to choose from. Here are a few from the series of images of the Great Blue Heron. On a few I removed a tree branch here or there. was trying to see which I liked better. All images were taken with a Canon 7D with a 300mm lens with a 1.4X Teleconverter.
Seven Feathers In A 5 Shot Panorama

Some more feathers I found at the Davidson Mill Pond Park in New Jersey. While taking a walk, we found a few bunches of feathers. I liked the colors, textures and position of the main group of feathers. The featured image was 5 shots, handheld, overlapped and assembled in Photoshop. Taken with a 300mm f/4 lens. Photoshop usually does a pretty good job assembling handheld image series, with maybe a few manual touch ups.
Feather In The Wind
Posted on March 10, 2017
We went to Davidson Mill Pond Park Earth Center in New Jersey to walk around and get some sun. I found this feather, stuck on a twig, blowing in the wind. I liked textures of the feather. But it was moving back and forth violently in the wind, so I used a shutter speed of 1/2000 of a second to try to get a sharp image. I also used a 300mm lens to get a smoother & cleaner looking background.
