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.
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 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.
Classic Portrait Pose
This is one of my favorite photos. I snapped this on a Sunday morning before heading off to church in May of ’09. The early morning light (6 am) muted the colors of this Ruby-throated Hummingbird. The more I looked at it, the more I liked the effect. (Click the photo to view a larger size.)

Of Days Gone By
This is a building on the beach (notice the sand) lining the shore of Lake Michigan in Kewaunee, WI. I snapped this while sitting in a canoe on the lake. I’ve added a little bit of Photoshop enhancement. The original image was taken in September, 2006.

Shining Star of Kewaunee
A night view of the Kewaunee, WI lighthouse – on the western shore of Lake Michigan.
A couple of weeks ago, I took a night photo of this same scene I entitled Kewaunee Night-House. There wasn’t much to see, because the lighthouse light overpowered the image.
I decided to try again. This time, in order to brighten the house and balance the bright light, I shined a 2,000,000 candle power spotlight on the lighthouse for about 10 seconds of a 30-second exposure.
This photo was taken from the parking lot of Kewaunee’s beach. I used a 300mm lens on my Sony SLT-A55 stabilized on a tripod inside the open side door of my Dodge Caravan.
I like this image better, but still feel there’s more work to do.
Winter Lighthouse – Algoma, WI
This is pier light at the entrance of the Algoma, WI harbor. This is a photo taken in March of 2007 using my old camera. That camera did some pretty good work.
