I know, I know. I have done a terrible job of blogging the last few weeks. I apologize. To make it up to everyone I have some cool content I have been working on. More on that in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

One question I received from some “wildlife photography newbies” was “whats it like to photograph wildlife”? So I thought it would be interesting to show everyone some “scenes” from 2 of my recent Florida birding shoots. Thanks to fellow photographer Ralph Liniado for providing the photographs of me (save the emails and comments, I know I have a bald spot on the back of my head)!<\/p>\n

The first picture is of me on Pass-a-Grille Beach. Getting low gives bird photography a whole new perspective. Not to mention a wet backside. We did a lot of “scooting” that day, and it was cold!<\/p>\n

The result of working the scene above lead to the following photo opportunity.

The next picture of me was from the Brandon Harley Davidson Rookery, what a great place to take bird photographs at sunset!

This position on shore led to one of my favorite clicks from Florida.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoyed this and maybe, just maybe it gave you some motivation to get out and shoot this weekend. The weather forecast is for spectacular conditions in New England this weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
