Sandhill Cranes

Posted on by

If you’ve experienced the Sandhill Cranes in Western Nebraska this time of year, you get it. If you haven’t, do yourself a favor and try it once. I’m not a bird photographer and have no desire to become one.However, seeing the Sandhill Cranes at dusk circling the Platte River is just plain insane. My suggestion to you is call the Rowe Sanctuary or Alda Nature Center and reserve a time in the morning or evening to sit in a duck blind. The cost is around $25.00, which gives you about 3 hours. The blinds are big and can hold 20-30 people.

Bring binoculars, warm clothes and a camera. Note to Camera geeks, you’ll want to have a lens that is at least 200mm-500mm and a monopod is helpful.

Migration Madness

Posted on by


We might not have the beach here in the Midwest, but we have four seasons with incredible wildlife happenings year-round. My intention was to photograph bald eagles since they’re all over the place along I-29 from Council Bluffs, Iowa to Mound City, Missouri. My destination was Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge in Mound City, Missouri and to my surprise it was also the destination for hundreds of thousands of snow geese. I combined photography with some video to give you a feel of what it’s like. I never saw anything like this when living in San Diego. If you know people who appreciate the Midwest and it’s wildlife please share the video with them.

The Art of Photography

Posted on by

 

The one thing that never gets discussed in photography is choosing the right picture for a gallery print. It’s an art in itself.  The image above was taken last fall in Crested Butte, Colorado. What to do?
