I’m excited to have an article published in the current (Spring 2012) edition of Nature Photographer magazine. It should be in bookstores now (if you can find a bookstore these days…).  The article is titled ‘Capturing Water’ and it is a short primer on photographing streams, lakes, rivers. etc. and how to utilize different camera settings to create the effect and mood you want to relay in a water scene.  Check it out if you get the chance!

Just a perfect weather day here in northern Virginia.  I visited Huntley Meadows this morning to see how the wildlife was enjoying the day and found that most were having breakfast.  The female Red-winged Blackbird above was feeding off of the cattails and the Muskrat below was munching on the wetland plant life.

But the “big breakfast” champion of the morning was this Great Egret, who demonstrated expert skills in plucking fish after fish out of the water.
