While in Badlands National Park last week we saw the prairie dogs in the natural environment for the first time (vs.in the zoo). They are such a cute creature! As it turned out we came across prairie dog towns not only in Badlands NP but […]

Ospreys at Blackwater NWR, Cambridge, MD
On the way home from Smith Island last week, we stopped by Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge near Cambridge, Maryland. Here are some of the shots of osprey taken with my Nikon D600 camera with Tamron 150-600 mm lens.
More Hummingbirds
It’s a challenge to capture nice fast-moving hummingbird images. Of course, sharpness is the utmost essential criteria but the gesture of the bird and the simplicity of the background are important as well. I decided to take up the challenge again this morning and ended […]

Dragonflies III
July is always the good time to photograph dragonflies near the water, such as Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens and Lilypons Water Gardens. Over the years I have taken many of them and here are a few to share with you.

I went back to Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens yesterday morning. To beat the heat, I started early at 7 and finished shooting at 9 when the heat started to build up (it reached almost 100 degree in the afternoon). I used my Nikon D600 camera with […]
