BRIGANTINE Landscape & SKYscape

Here I am showing a typical view taken along the Wildlife Drive at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, Brigantine Division. It is the closest NWR to 0ur home and has lots of photo opportunities with wildlife, landscapes and skyscapes. The image here was taken with my Panasonic LX1 Pocket camera. The LX1 has three aspect settings – 4.3, 3.2 & 16.9. Usually…

TWO Golden Eagles ABOVE ME

The First Golden Eagle image had a nice view showing its out stretched wings above me. The next image I posted before but I thought it was a nice image to show the size difference of the Golden Eagle compared to the Osprey.

Gull Pond @ THE EDWIN B. FORSYTHE NWR

For this Post I am showing a 4 image Panorama taken with my small Panasonic LX1 camera. I have quite a few Pocket Cameras but my Favorite is the Panasonic LX1. Y0u can choose from 3 different image formats – 4:3, 3:2 & 16:9 but I usually keep it on 16:9 format. It comes in handy for multi-image very wide panos with less images…

Sometimes They Get Quite Close

A lot of times you wish you could get closer to your subjects. This time my subject Bald Eagle flew very close to me. It was fun to photograph a Bald Eagle that close instead of cropping to get a larger image. I managed to get a 2 image series to get the whole Eagles wings. I was using a Canon 1D mkIII &…

OSPREY ON SMALL TREE IN THE FOG

I am Posting an image I took years ago in the fog at the Edwin B. Forythe National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey. I was using a Canon 7D with a Canon 400mm DO lens with a 1.4x teleconverter giving me a 560mm image. Image taken @ 1/1000. Also I was using 400 ISO, @ f/8.

Great Blue Heron Fly-BY @ 800mm

Early MORNING Sunrise AT Blackwater NWR

One of my favorite locations to photograph is at the Blackwater NWR. It is Great for Bald Eagles and a wide variety of birds & wildlife. But it is also very nice for landscapes and Sunrises & Sunsets. For this Post I am showing a Blackwater Sunrise @ 6:19 AM in the morning. I was using a Canon 1D mkIII with a Canon 400mm…

Blackwater NWR Sunset

For this Post I am showing an image of a colorful Blackwater NWR sunset. I was using a Panasonic LX-1 Pocket Camera. Many times when I am photographing I have my larger Canon cameras for Bald Eagles or distant subjects & then I have a Pocket Camera for wide panoramas & close-up images. This image was taken @ 1/160 sec. at f/4, ISO 80…

SETTING SUN @ BLACKWATER NWR

For this Post I am showing an image of a colorful Blackwater NWR setting sun. I was using an Olympus EM1 camera with a Panasonic 14-140mm lens. The Olympus EM1 Camera has the same lens mount as the Panasonic 14-140mm so it is nice to be able to use these lenses on 2 different make cameras.
