    Knight Shift at the Ren Faire

    I do a lot of Ren Faire photos and the joust is one of my favorite subjects. Here's a shot from the Washington Midsummer Ren Faire. In this shot, brave knight Kristofer Kody, representing England, greets the Queen at the the opening of the joust.

    Crow riding a Bald Eagle

    Crow hitches a ride on a Bald Eagle! Pacific Northwest Ubird? No? So what's really going on here? The crow is harassing the Bald Eagle to try and scare him away from the crow's favorite fishing grounds. Did it work? Well, for a few minutes it did, then the eagle came back. You may have seen a...

    Nemesis Birds

    It varies. Normally they only own to the high tide mark. In fact that’s what some of the photographers here argued, they couldn’t own the beach. But in rare cases, they do. This is one of those. It has to do with the oysters. They own land further out than usual. The oysters were also the issue...

    Nemesis Birds

    Us regulars all know the rules. There's areas you can walk, and areas you can't. You used to be able to walk along the beach by the houses. You can't do that any more, and if you do some Old Bi... Umm, Old Bird Lover, yah, that's what I was typing... will call the cops on you. But yes, it's not...

    Nemesis Birds

    Well, it turns out that one month a year, on certain specific days of that month, I know where eagles are likely to catch fish. This one works pretty good.

    Bird ID Help Needed

    He hung out for quite a while, maybe looking for fish? Then he finally said "The hell with it!" and took a bath. I got some pretty unusual shots from that.

    What kind of duck is this?

    That's my approach. Skill, experience right location, persistence and a huge dose of luck. Persistence helps. A lot.

    Are Tripods Obsolete?

    I try to be selective, I delete more than I post. But, I think they're useful and I also hope they stir discussion. I appreciate you and the others commenting and replying. Conversation inspires more interaction. But getting it rolling is dang tough. Yes, being able to not squint in the...

    New Feature - "Featured"

    The intent is to make it more invited, more dynamic and have more photos. (Imagine that). I think of it as kind of a magazine cover. 10 years ago, I'd have done a fancy landing page, with a big photo of Mount Rainier and maybe background music and the logo floats in animated. But now web...

    New Feature - "Featured"

    Bill, the "more dynamic look" is exactly what I had in mind, and I'm glad you think it looks better. However, no need for a special link. It's now the default landing page. pnwphotos.com is all you need to tell them. When they type that, it redirects to the featured page now. Before it went to...

    Are Tripods Obsolete?

    I used to love doing 3 frame HDR. Lately though, I rarely do it. For most subjects, the D800 series has enough dynamic range that I can get what I want in a single frame. So, unless the image is obviously high contrast, typically I'll just do one frame. I use Aurora HDR and do single frame HDR...
