Jumping Spider Catches a Fly

Posted on 2021/02/082021/02/10

I got up to stretch my legs and walk around outside for a bit. Since the sun was shining I started looking in the garden for some of our friendly guardians, the jumping spider. I had seen a rather large spider the day before but it was being very shy and wouldn’t come out of…

Rent-a-lens, find owls

Posted on 2019/04/242021/02/10

I rented a 100-400mm lens for my Fujifilm X-T3 specifically so I could get some good photos of some owls that we found on Mt Tabor. During the week that I shot with it, I learned a LOT about the intricacies of not only my camera and lens combo, but more about the behavior of…

Mt Hood Clouded Over

Posted on 2019/04/192021/02/10

A few weeks ago, I was using TPE (The Photographer’s Ephemeris) on my phone to get ideas for photos to shoot. It seemed like a full moon rising over Mt Hood would be a great idea but weather might not cooperate this time of year. I was expecting rain or complete overcast but hoped for…

Portland Meanderings

Posted on 2019/03/312021/02/10

The sun has returned to Portland, the cherry blossoms are in full force, and everyone is out doing something in the fresh air. This is one of the best times to be in Portland and wandering around by bike. I have no idea how many miles we pedaled today, but here are some of my…

Getting beyond the basics

Posted on 2019/03/292021/02/10

After going through some books on the “how to” of photography, I’ve been working on getting beyond the basics. Back in 2017, I had started a 365 project of taking a photo and posting it every day. This worked out until about mid June when I had some travel that messed up my rhythm from…

Getting Into the Moment

Posted on 2019/03/282021/02/10

I’ve seen some criticism that people aren’t experiencing the world “in the moment” because they are too busy trying to take selfies, post to social media, and just want to take a quick pic before heading off to the next location. Personally, I feel that having the camera in hand helps me see the world…

Great Gray Owls

Posted on 2017/05/282021/02/09

We spend a few days camping in Eastern Oregon, the exact location cannot be disclosed. But we were lucky enough to have a birding friend in the area clue us in where some Great Gray Owls were fledging and being fed by the parents. It was simply one of the greatest moments of my life…

A weekend in Arcata

Posted on 2016/04/202021/02/08

Many weeks ago, Audrey asked “Should I do this?” Next thing I know, we’re driving 7+ hours to Aracata, California so that Audrey could attend Godwit Days. She would spend the weekend birding around with various groups, snapping photos, talking about birds, birding birds, and meeting her birding idol: David Sibley. Yes, THAT DAVID SIBLEY….

Upping my photography game

Posted on 2016/03/172021/02/08

A story that really starts back when cameras captured our souls on ribbons of plastic call “film”, I liked taking pictures and shooting video. I still remember the day my father showed me how to focus on his 35mm camera. When he brought home a VHS camcorder that took full sized VHS tapes. How I…
