Wildlife Photography and now video!
Jul//2010
To say I have been busy over the past several months would be an understatement. Work, home and the many bird related projects I am always working on keep me plenty busy thank you. However I’m not complaining, I like to keep active and all these different projects are what drives me and keeps me on the go!
So here’s an update on some of the things I’ve been working on along with a few new photos and now even some video which I have been playing around with.
Earlier this year I was one again helping take care of the AV for two Mass Audubon events and presenting my photography. Both events were VERY good and I would recommend them to anyone next year.
In March I was at Mass Audubon Annual Birders Meeting which took place at Bentley University in Waltham. Then in early April at the Mass Audubon Wellfleet Bay “Cape Cod Natural History Conference” where I presented the first look at the Piping Plover portion of the shorebird video that Jim Grady and I have been working on for the last two years. More on that later. This is a conference that every year I post on this very web site and to other web sites to encourage people to attend. With many of the workshops I teach I am often asked by people (photographers) where to go to photograph birds and other wildlife in Massachusetts and New England. While I do know many places that are worth spending time to try to photograph and I am happy to share much of that information. Just look at some of my other Blogs posted over the last year. That said one of the things I always tell people is to attend the two above mentioned events. They may just be the two BEST places to begin for good information. For starters if you want to photograph birds you will meet many bird watchers. Who in turn can tell you some of the best places or “hidden gems” to see many of the birds you may want to photograph. Then it is up to you to do your homework or n this case your field work to see what is a good tip.
As for the Cape Cod Natural History Conference......well that is packed with all kinds of GREAT information on many topics all found on Cape Cod. Want to know where to see Gray Seals, whales close to shore, Fowler’s Toads or Spadefoot Toads? And that’s just for starters. The bottom line is if you want to be a better wildlife photographer you need to know more about the subjects you are going to photograph and yes I know the answer to all the species I just listed.
