52 Photographs - Week 41

The fall color has started to appear. And with it comes the return of the heron at Manchester Meadows Park.

I couldn’t resist this photograph of the heron with the fall color in the background and the mist rising off of the pond.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 40

Another difficult choice this week, but this photograph of a Song Sparrow at Manchester Meadows Park was my favorite of the week.

52 Photographs - Week 39

It was a very light week photography wise. We had several days of rain which curtailed my desire to go to shoot. But by Saturday the rain finally stopped.

This is one of the most unusual photographs I’ve taken and could end up being the most unusual of the year.

This has a sort of cosmic look to it. One person has suggested it looks like a planet floating in cosmic dust.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 38

Went back to the Rock Hill Velodrome this week and again I apparently went at the wrong time or during the wrong event. Not much action. 

But I did get this photograph using a slow shutter speed and panning with the subject. I really need to practice this more.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 37

Well another week another difficult choice. I had three great candidates for this week’s photograph. But I just couldn’t resist this photograph of a Grumpy Old Northern Mocking Bird.

I’ve photographed quite a few Northern Mocking birds but this one is special because it makes me laugh every time I look at it. I don’t know why this particular Northern Mockingbird is so grumpy. Perhaps it got up on the wrong side of the nest or perhaps I’ve photographed it before and it’s expressing its displeasure at me taking yet another picture of it. Either way, it’s my favorite photograph of the week.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 36

Well another week with a difficult choice. I had to choose from four of my favorite photographs this week. 

This week’s photograph was taken early in the morning on September 1st. It’s the time of the year when the early morning sun casts nice long shadows. Roxie and I were out for a walk and the long shadows of us made for a nice photograph.

“Tri-X, f/8, and be there.“

52 Photographs - Week 35

The end of August can only mean that fall is around the corner. And to celebrate my favorite season, here’s a sample of what’s to come.
