Nature Photography

Bird time

in , , , ,

Most of the pictures I have been taking this year have been with my iPhone. However, with birds, I needed my Cannon R5 for the longer lens. I looked for great light and food for the birds to come. Found both and came up with this picture.

Woodpecker

After looking at this, I wonder two things. What would it look like on a magazine cover?

Last, I wondered what it would look like as a painting. Using Photoshop AI I came up with the following.

What you can do with a single bird. I am thinking about having on canvas the painting of this bird. I like it as a painting. I'm looking forward to getting out more this year for more pictures.

Portrait of a Pet

Taking portraits of pets can be difficult at times. with portraits of humans, we can get them to look and do what we want. But with a pet, they have a mind of their own.

Archie was no diffrent. I was using my iPhone to take candid pictures using a huge window, and soft light coming threw. I took a few pictures and came up with what I liked. Next was to cut out Archie in Photoshop and give him a studio look. I don’t know, but I think the owner will be happy. I know I was happy with it. Most of us have a camera all ready; just look at where the light is going and use it with whatever camera you have. For me, this was my iPhone today. Happy shooting.

Wild Life

I have always liked going out into the woods and seeing nature at its best. One advantage of being a Freelance Photographer is that you getings you enjoy, especially in a little of everything, to shoot the th and that is why I enjoy being a freelancer.

The Wolf

The wolf. It looks just like a dog and is so cute. Right. I don’t think I would want to pet him or her. I can’t remember my settings for this one other than I know I used my 100-400 lens. Try to get low and place the focus on the eyes. I kept my distance—time to move on to the next assignment.

Little time for Me

in , ,

Nothing like having a little time for myself. While traveling up in Wisconsin, I finally got some fall pictures I have been after. No pressure, time to think and look at different angles. Look at the light and what it was giving me because I forgot my tripod. I handheld this picture. Using F8 ISO 200 and speed of 100. Next was to take it in Lightroom, I cropped and vibrance the colors. Last went to sharpen it using Topaz. I love my time. It gives me a chance to take a deep breath, get what I am thinking, and practice my skills again.
