Even though the fishing was difficult at best, I had an enjoyable time photographing the wildlife and the surrounding area. I’m not sure what type of duck this is in the above photograph yet. If you know please let me know in the comments below. I like these ducks here with the black and white …
On our way to Mann Lake we took a detour through the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge. This added a few hours on to the drive, but for me it was well worth it to get some great photographs and to see this part of Oregon. Even though Matt was driving he had a keen …
Today two of my friends, David and Matt, and I took off for an afternoon of creek fishing. The sun was shining, but the wind was blowing and with the increased altitude it was a little on the chilly side. Both David and Matt had some success, me on the other hand was successful at lots of …
I spent another Saturday afternoon out at what is quickly becoming my favorite place to go photograph, the Shasta Valley wildlife Refuge. The Nikon 300mm F/4 makes taking photos of birds so much more enjoyable. It focusing is faster and the clarity is so much better than my zoom lenses. I will probably have a …
The Monday of our Presidents day weekend vacation get away was going to be our travel day back home along the Oregon coast following Hwy 101. Before we left Florence I wanted to get a few more shots in so I got up early and headed out to Heceta Head lighthouse. There are usually some sea lions out …

I read many reviews of this lens and all of them spoke very highly of its quality and sharpness. With my budget I knew a 300mm f/2.8 …
It was a beautiful afternoon on Saturday and Christian and Daniel were bugging me to take them to ride their bikes. So Tyler and I took the opportunity to take some photographs out at Greenhorn park at the reservoir, while they road around the reservoir on the paved trail. It was about 2pm when we headed over …
A mentor friend of mine, Tom, was kind enough to make some helpful suggestions on the pictures I had taken last Saturday. Here are five of the pictures after I followed his suggestions to make them better. I love the changes I was able to make to these photographs. I think they look better. What are …

I’ve had several fellow photographers tell me about shooting wildlife photographs at this refuge and the great experience it can be. So early, well okay so it was about 10am when I got up…..honestly …
