We will be using natural water reflections and seeking out man-made reflective surfaces in the area to explore how we can use reflections to add depth and intrigue to our images.

    I took this photo because my dog loves jumping on anything taller than he is, including rocks, benches, walls and up trees. He will pause and pose for me to take a photo of him because he?s so proud of himself for jumping up on the wall (in this case). He also loves to pose, when strangers ask if they can take his photo he knows what they?re doing and he?ll look at the camera (device) or turn his head at an angle, so cute !It was February 12, 2023 this day and golden hour when I took the pho

    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.
