Wecome to my blog. My goal is to share some of my favorite photos including the details behind the shots with a few tips along the way. I’m an early riser so you will see lots of early morning wildlife photos. The golden light in the morning can be magic and for me it’s all about the light.

I think I love it, but sure would like to see at least 800px on the long side.

Bumped up the size.

That’s a really cool shot along with the early morning colors. Was the wind blowing for a little wave action?

Like it much better…thanks. I’m able to see the lip of the wave now, so the storyline works better for me. Certainly love the color and the blur of the wave action. Pretty unique capture.
