**warning** the image below may not be something everyone wants to see. Any chance I get to be outside, I try. Even at work, during my break time, I head out and walk a mile. I usually see all matter of birds typical for the central Ohio region. On this particular day, I happened to be...

I must have camped very near a Fox's Den, as they were checking me out for several days. Shot with an 18-35 lens, not the best for wildlife.

Kotkavuori, or literally Eagle Mountain, is a little stoney park in Lauttasaari district in Helsinki. Little did I guess it'd turn out to be this most wonderful collection of textures of all kinds. The light wasn't perfect but the thick overcast helped cast this even light. Which...

On Friday and Saturday, we were honored with a visit of a mother bobcat and her three small kittens. It was amazing and deeply moving to observe them for many hours playing, nursing, and climbing trees, all the while under the patient and watchful eye of Mom. Our home is clearly a safe place...

With all the larger birds and gators, sometimes these little guys don’t get any love. #1 #2 #3

Met these two yesterday morning at the Viera Wetlands. I was experimenting with the TC-14III with the 200-500. Definitely noticed the impact in AF performance but otherwise, not too shabby. #1 #2

These ducks were all over the Viera Wetlands yesterday morning. It looked like they nest in the palm tree stumps. They were great to watch and fun to shoot. Credit to Steve (@SRHEdD) for the ID. #1 #2 #3

Sunday morning visit to the Viera Wetlands. The intense stare was even more intimidating in person as he swam right at us, never breaking the intensity and came on shore within 3' of where we were standing, never taking his eyes off us.

And they have a wonderful smell!

Latest post from my personal blog. I thought it would be easier to just attach the link to the post than upload a bunch of pics and overload Kevin's server. ;) Lots of pics in the post. Enjoy. The Great Awakening - Creation's Glory Photography

I invite everyone to post snowy nature/landscape photos!

We set out mid-morning for our first ever winter visit to the canyon. The narrow, twisting road had a fair number of scary icy and snow-covered patches, but Diana's bad weather Michigan driving skills were up to the challenge. There were very few places to stop due to the snow banks, but we...

We just got back from a trip to Luang Prabang in Laos where we signed up for an elephant trek with Mandalao tours. They are the only organisation in Luang Prabang running tours that don't allow riding on the elephants, which was what we wanted. Here are a few pictures from our tour. I'll post...

New to posting here too. As for new to JPGs, just to having that be my original file. I just bought an X-Pro2. Now I want another one. Managed to get it just before a short vacation to the mountains of NC . Although I shot in RAW for some stock photos to send off I mostly shot jpgs in Acros...

I am waiting to purchase the soon to be announced XT-2, currently a number of Fuji lens are on sale so I want to take advantage of the pricing. I want the best glass for nature/landscape and travel. I am trying to decide if I should go all primes or zoom lens. I want weather proof glass since...

I took my recently acquired X-E1 + 14mm f/2.8 out hiking for the first time today. West Virginia's New River Gorge has many waterfalls on the creeks that roar out of its ravines. Many of those waterfalls are quite difficult - and even dangerous - to reach. I leave the dangerous trails to the...
