Exploration Photography Daily View - July 30, 2015

Hi and welcome to another late edition of the Exploration Photography Daily View! Well things are coming along with Windows 10 on my laptop. There are a few things to work out but it's getting there. But aside from that it took some time getting today's photo ready for publication but I think it's finally there.

You may or may not be able to tell from looking but I had quite a time with this shot. First off I have been trying all Summer to capture a decent image of this guy and tonight I was lucky enough to have the opportunity. I have found cardinals very difficult to work with because they are very skittish. And secondly (without getting technical) when I captured the shot there was a very annoying red hue coming from a lot of the small branches. I worked on the final image for about an hour and I think I got most of it fixed.

And now I am getting off of here. Let me know what you think. I would love your feedback. And I'll be back real soon my friends!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - July 4, 2015

Hi and Happy Independence Day Daily View readers! This afternoon I was outside checking on the cafe and I got some great shots. I'd like to share this one with you.

This is one of our many sparrows. He was perched on this branch for a while and I was able to grab this shot.

I wanted to have some photos of Valley Forge ready for today but just did not have time to get them done. But they are coming soon.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View! And an early edition at that! Today is another busy day for me and Kim and that is why I am so early. So without further ado...

I grabbed this shot yesterday when  photographed the cardinal. In fact there were a lot of birds but I'll share some of them on another day. Gotta' go for now,

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - June 12, 2015

Hi there folks and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View! I have a good one for you today. At least I think it's good. Have a look.

I see this guy almost every day but rarely get a chance to grab a good photo. Today however he just showed up and landed on our arborvitaes while I was holding my camera. Now maybe the female cardinal will pose for me.

And one more thing before I wrap it up for the day. As I said in my post yesterday I wasn't 100% satisfied with my photo. So this morning before work I went out and shot  some more pics of the same flower. I think the results are much better. You can see it on my blog's Facebook page at this link.

Exploration Photography Daily View - May 29, 2015

Hi there! Welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View. Today I share with you another shot from yesterday at the Avian Cafe.

One lone diner. But he wasn't alone for long. Oh we pack em' in here at the cafe. To the tune of about 40lbs of seed every week and a half. Not to mention peanuts. I am so thankful for Costco!

Thanks for stopping by folks! I hope to see you again at the blog.

Until next time...

October 23, 2014 -Photo Of The Day

Well after a wet couple of days or so the rain has finally moved out and the sun is on it's way. When I got home from work today there were some birds in our yard so I got out there and shot a few dozen frames. For today's photo I would like to share one with you.

This guy stuck around for quite a while too. Others flew in an flew away but he stayed. I thought about going in to grab my tripod and probably could have but didn't. I wish I had though because I could have zoomed in for a closer shot. One of these days I'll have to invest in an image stabilized long zoom lens. It's on the list :)

Thanks for visiting and as always,

Until next time...

September 11, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Yesterday afternoon I went out into our front yard and was prepared to shoot a bunch of bird photos.Well as you probably know that didn't work out. I did get a lot of great squirrel pics though. Well today I went out again and his time I got some birds. I'd like to share one with you.

Not too bad for a handheld shot. What do you think?

This is at the top of our insanely tall arborvitaes. The birds seem to love it though.

Thanks for visiting and be sure to come back soon.

Until next time...

August 31, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Yesterday was a bit overcast at the beach in Wildwood Crest but at least it wasn't raining. Kim and I took advantage of this and spent most of the morning enjoying an oceanfront view from our beach chairs.

Of course you can't go to the shore and not see a seagull or two. So I thought I'd share one with you.

Also, here is a short 16 second video of our view. Take a look.

 

I will be doing a full post of our trip soon. I have a LOT of photos to share. Please check back soon.

Until next time...
