Originally, I was going to do this about night photography in general, with a subset of photographing the moon itself, then realized that the moon alone had enough for a full post. So other kinds of night photography will be along in a later post, perhaps next week. No promises though.
As a bare minimum for chasing moon photos, I have to recommend a firm tripod and a remote shutter release, because
Is this going to go on all spring? Well, so be it – I can cope.
Glanced out the kitchen window while making lunch and saw a bold splash of white where there had been none before. The view of this particular spot on the edge of The Bay wasn’t good from that angle, nor from the back deck, so I slipped out front and went around the end of the garage, which was more than adequate.
This
Going out early this morning (really early, last-night kind of early,) I found that the Magic Bucket of Variety, AKA my outdoor wastebasket, had lured in another friend.
Initially, I confidently proclaimed this a brown snake, but several of the identifying characteristics aren’t really there. Eventually (while writing this post,) I found the
So, this is the other video that I’ve been trying to finish up, the notorious one mentioned in previous posts. It did not help in the slightest that, before getting the chance to edit together the clips, I continued to add more to them.
But yeah, the discoveries on the property keep right on happening. It’s certainly not boring in any way. Well, at least not for us…
You can see that
A double for today, even though these were both found yesterday – the time to get the post together just wasn’t there, but part of this was because I insisted on fleshing it out a bit, which means, another video clip.
By the way, I kept mentioning getting to two videos, and have recently posted two. Only, the second one wasn’t one of those I was referring to, being a Tip Jar entry
I finally got around to completing one of the two videos that I had on the docket, but we have to lead into it a little.
The backstory: With the gout of warm weather a short while back, the various amphibians around the yard (among many other critters) leapt into action and were out making a dogawful racket some nights – as in, it was actually painful to listen to from short
It means… actually, it doesn’t mean a damn thing, because I haven’t done a weekly topic on Thursdays since, oh, 2021, but I like the idea of new people coming here and thinking they’re missing out. Well, sure, of course they are, if they’re new, but even more so than they really are. All this presumes that new people are actually coming here, and this whole
I’m not doing terribly well on cleaning out the backlog, partially because there’s no real subject/theme among most of the pics, so I’m just throwing up a couple for the time being, recent avian images.
A few days back, The Girlfriend and I did a pass through Goose Creek State Park in the late morning, turning up surprisingly little – the place seemed almost
I have a small collection of the same subject from two consecutive days, but the best images were the first and tapered off a bit from there, so we’re doing them mostly in reverse order.
Four or five days ago (depending on when I actually post this – it’s 11 PM right now,) the day dawned quite foggy, and I looked out at the pond and saw practically nothing. No, it wasn’t quite
Just illustrating one of the common pitfalls of nature photography.
The other day while I was up in the bathroom observing the ducks (which sounds weird if you haven’t been following along,) a pileated woodpecker (Dryocopus pileatus) was hopping excitedly between a couple of trees in relatively plain sight, and I say “relatively” because there is no completely plain sight
