This photo is on the short list of my favorite shots of all time, partly because of its high degree of difficulty but certainly not limited to that. But the version I’ve posted in the past needed some tweaking.
A double dose of serendipity with the two related events being separated from each other by eight years. To the day.
Yesterday was a pretty good day at Bear River MBR but any day I photograph a weasel is a good one.
Bird and wildlife rescue, rehab and educational organizations deserve our support and there are many ways we can provide it.
I took a huge chance and used the dreaded Shadows/Highlights tool in Photoshop on this image in an effort to save it.
Personally I think the male of this pair got exactly what he deserved. Tit for tat.
Another reason I tend to shoot at higher shutter speeds than most bird photographers and this time it still wasn’t enough.
This is why I keep returning to that gnarly old stump used as a perch in yesterday’s post.
I’ve been photographing coyotes on Antelope Island and elsewhere for many years now and this was the most perplexing behavior I’ve ever seen.
Familiarity with bird behaviors gives photographers a much better chance of capturing the shot we’re after.
