• Cinder Cones And Clouds: Original And “Final”

  If you liked the Ravens shots, before and after editing, you’ll love this pairing. On 10/15/22 around sunset on a cold, cloudy day, I drove from home (elevation 7000′) to the Arizona Snowbowl (elevation 9200). This photo was shot on “my return to ground” closer to 7000′. You will see that my edits involved brightening…

• Ravens: Showing You Originals And Final Versions

  Sometimes it is interesting for photographer and audience to compare unedited or original versions with their “final” counterparts. (My images are almost never final, but always potential subjects for reworking.) Here I show you two raven photos that I just uploaded to Fine Art America, but you get to see what FAA folks do not–…

• Playing, Part II

  Yesterday (6th May), inspired by Jeff Goulden and Mike Smith on Fstoppers, I shot my first panorama on a camera (having tried without much luck shooting panoramas on my phone). It was hurried, playful, non-serious. Fun! Both Jeff and Mike suggested shooting panoramas handheld would work, and that’s what I tried. As Mike said, just…

• Moonset in the Mountains 17March2022

  Until recently, a huge frustration in shooting the bright moon and its dimmer context was this— I could 1) brighten the whole image in order to make the context visible, washing out the features of the moon, 2) dim the moon and make the context even less visible, or 3) use a brush to change…

• Puddingstone Reservoir February 2022

  “Puddingstone” is the common name referring to the artificial lake at Frank G. Bonelli Regional Park in San Dimas, southern California. It is an excellent site for birding. I was there, outdoorswithcamera, on February 8 and 9. This post focuses on waterfowl photos, all available as digital downloads. I am still saving up for a…

• Snowy pre-dawn morning

  I confess— I’m a super early riser. So this photo was taken at 4:45 today (February 17, 2022). My fingers were cold. My face was cold. The temperature was roughly 15F at that time. All that aside, I wanted to take a walk and I was looking for a particular scenario to photograph— the moon,…

• How to take a photo of the filtered sun and get a starburst effect

  Taking the shot It’s dangerous to aim your camera at the sun. You could harm it as well as your eye, especially if you loook right at it for a prolongued period of time, or point the camera likewise. I am an amateur like many of my readers, so I am not 100% sure this…

• This Morning’s Moonset

  I drove up Snowbowl Road and managed to arrive at the top of the road just in time to get my camera out, steady it on top of my car, and shoot. That was 5:19 a.m. Tomorrow morning’s moonset should be at 6:01. Ample time to plan, get the tripod and camera ready, shoot some…

• Wing Flapping Displays As Agonistic Behavior

  I introduced this series of posts addressing “agonistic behavior” with the following definition, from the Wikipedia article on the subject: “The term has broader meaning than aggressive behaviour because it includes threats, displays, retreats, placation, and conciliation.” This post highlights wing flapping by ducks as an example of agonistic behavior that is clearly not fighting (but could…
