ISO 400, 300mm, f/6.3, 1/1600sec ISO 400, 300mm, f/6.3, 1/1600sec My original intent when I headed over to Greenhorn Park this afternoon was to take some photographs of the snow landscapes. I took a few scenery photographs with my 24-120mm lens when I suddenly noticed a bald eagle flying around the lake. ISO 100, 24mm, f/4.0, …
ISO 2000, 300mm, f/4.0, 1/1600sec Tuesday afternoon I was supposed to referee the Yreka High School boys and girls soccer games. Unfortunately at the last-minute their games were rescheduled. I thought I would make use of the time by heading out to the wildlife refuge to see if the raptors were arriving yet. ISO 2000, …
Here are the rest of the photographs from my photography trip over to the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge on Labor Day. I love these Blue Herons. They are difficult to photograph because of their shy nature. It’s impossible to get close to them with out them flying off. Nice photograph of the north face of …
For the Labor day holiday I took the opportunity with my friend Linda to visit the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge once again. The water this time of year is down significantly from the winter/spring time so most of the wildlife is located around Tule Lake. There is an auto tour that you can take around this …
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 …
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 …

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 …
One area of photography that looks fun although very intimidating is street photography. As Taunya and I strolled the beach in Florence I thought I would try my hand at capturing some candid shots of people on the beach. I had initially planned when we left our room that I was going to take some …
The Shasta Valley Wildlife Refuge is located in between Montague, CA and the Shasta Valley. I usually go out to this refuge for the fly fishing on Trout Lake and Bass Lake. I’ve seen pheasants here before but didn’t see any this day. I was using my D7000 with my Nikon 300mm F/4 lens. I had …
Ever since I took the excursion over to the Lower Klamath NWR to photograph the wildlife I have been wanting to purchase the Nikon 300mm f/4 to make wildlife photography more enjoyable. 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 …
