Morning Fog, Sunflowers and Golden Finches

Landscape, Nature, Photography

For the third time in the past week I went back to McKee Beshers sunflower field in Poolesville, Maryland yesterday with the hope of capturing some birds coming for the sunflower seeds. On the way to the sunflower field I saw the amazing scenes of morning fog in the valley and could not resist but to stop to capture the images. Once in the field, I found a “good” spot to set up my camera with 600mm telephoto lens and then wait, wait and wait for the appearance of birds. I began to feel this was a lot more difficult than shooting the bald eagles diving for fish at Conowingo Dam that I was fairly successful in many occasions. Some golden finches finally showed up in my camera range after three hours of waiting.

      Thank you so much! The morning fog shots were the bonus and was glad to capture the finches.

    Yes, I was happy to see the finches showed up finally but was disappointed not seeing Indigo Buntings a good friend of mine captured the other day, may be next time.
