I don’t consider myself a wildlife or bird photographer in the least. In fact, I actually prefer landscape the most but I won’t turn down an opportunity if it presents itself.
While I was walking along the beach on Lido Key just west of Sarasota, I came across this Great Blue Heron fishing in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. He seemed more interested in feeding than he was in me and that gave me a chance to grab this close up photo.
I love taking photos of sunsets. For me it’s always the most interesting light of the day and provides so many wonderful opportunities to capture some amazing colours as well.
On this particular occasion I set up my tripod on a picnic table located on the beach and took about 50 photos from the time the sun was still up until it set.
I would have been much happier if the water had been smooth as glass and provided a better reflection and the contrail from a passing airplane wasn’t in the shot but I was still pleased with the final result.
I was driving in my car near Lake Ontario when I looked in my review mirror and saw a storm coming down the lake.
I pulled over, grabbed my camera and walked down by the water and saw some driftwood that had washed ashore. I thought it would give some nice balance to the photo by placing it in the foreground.
