p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Oceanside variety from September


I have not held my camera for nearly two weeks as I have a very sick family member and we just moved her from the hospital to a nursing home where she is getting great care. As I have not been shooting I've been looking through my post me folders and sharing the beauty of nature. It's great therapy as is viewing all of your beautiful image and interacting with you.

These were taken on September 2 at the Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area on Long Island, NY. I hope you find them as relaxing to view as I did.

The soft light on a gray day is great for portraits yet makes getting good looking flight shots tricky. Exposing for the gray sky and adding fill flash allows for a more natural look than exposing for the bird and blowing out the sky.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

#1 is a real beauty. I'm a big fan of clean backgrounds and the pose, the perch, and that soft BG are perfect !

You have some really beautiful shots here and I agree seeing these sorts of images is wonderful therapy. I am glad to hear that your family member is getting good care. I really loved that first shot of the Green Heron, what a beauty!
