Featured Information
Due to my recent move to the Lake of the Ozarks, along with the Covid issues, I am currently not teaching group classes. However, I am available for private individual or very small group, in-the-field teaching, where we can safely learn more about our cameras and our photographic techniques..

Enter the Dragon’s Lair, Part 1
Last week while photographing wildflowers, I noticed an awful lot of dragonflies now active. So Tuesday morning I decided to exchange my macro lens for my favorite wildlife lens, the Canon 100-400mm, f/4.5-f/5.6 IS lens and go “dragon hunting”. I was not disappointed … several species were observed and photographed. Today’s post features one of […]

Frosty Sunrise at Amarugia
Last week, our early morning temperatures ranged from -5°F to +5°F. On the first morning of these frigid temperatures, I drove out to the local prairie meadow, expecting to find some fog at sunrise (fog had been predicted, but did not develop at this area). The next morning, fog was again in the weather forecast so I again headed out to […]
