Bluebird Hatch

Just hours old, these bluebirds are waiting for their siblings to hatch. All of them successfully hatched and fledged.
I shot this by lifting the top off the bluebird house and shooting straight down with my Kodak Easyshare DX7590. This photo was taken in early June of 2010.

Fading Fast

Out of the four worthwhile images I captured in this series, this is the one with the warmest tones. Even the snow-covered field looks a little warmer.
This is the last of the series. Even though all of these images were captured within a half hour on the evening of February 13th, they show a surprising amount of variety. If I weren’t the one who took them, I’d think they were from different sunsets.
Page through the previous posts to see them all. Feel free to pick a favorite.

Subtle Sunset

The combination of setting sun and layered clouds create an enjoyable view.
I spent about a half hour on my front porch early on the evening of February 13th and got several nice images.
This is the third of four images that I’ve posted from the series. Page through the previous posts to see them all. I’ll post the last one of the group tomorrow.

Serenity Wow

This image strikes me as the perfect end to a peaceful day.

This is the second of four images that I will post over the next several days. Check back for more beauty.

Drama Scene

My thought, while taking this photo was, “My, that’s an angry looking sky.” It looks very dramatic but, in reality, it was a very peaceful finish to a warmer than usual winter day.
I spent about a half hour on my front porch early on the evening of February 13th and got several nice images.
This is the first of 4 images that I will post over the next several days. Check back for more beauty.

Morning Moonset

The moon has been beautiful the last few days. I was finally able to capture a shot about 6:30 this morning as it was slowly slipping behind the trees. I was set up on my driveway, shooting across the farm field west of our home.
The moon was so bright, you can see where it melted the snow. (Of course, I’m just kidding.)
I was using my 300mm lens and had my Sony SLT-A55 on a tripod.
