This was after the snow we had. Loveland, CO (Northern CO) Got 11.5 inches. This was was a very cold morning. In the teens... (Sunrise) CC Welcome

From a few weeks or more back up along the coast in California by San Simeon. I found this cool spot that I liked. Usually I am shooting so slow for the water, that birds flying turn into smears. So it was nice for once to have been shooting faster as the birds approached. I think they add a lot...

I had a trip to Bosque Del Apache in December and had the opportunity to shoot a wide variety of pics. I was there for a week and it was one of most relaxing/stress free week I had in a long time! These are some of the Duck picks I shot there.

My wife and I spent a night at Deception Pass state park breaking in our new truck-camper. After a leisurely breakfast in the warmth of the camper (the best upgrade from our old van for Debbie) we went for a nice walk down to the beach. I just slipped my iPhone 11 Pro into my pocket instead of...

While shooting the Elephant Seals on Sunday north of San Simeon I noticed that while the seals were lounging up on the beach that the birds were hanging out down at the waters edge. So I stopped from the shooting the seals a few minutes to capture the birds. I meant to put this in for Winged...

It was a pretty cold morning last Saturday, this lake was mostly frozen (Lakewood, CO) and these Shovelors found their way to some open water and were very active.

San-Francisco-260-Pano by Jim Dockery posted Jul 30, 2019 at 8:02 AM Not sure which forum to put this in, it could fit landscape, or wildlife (I think the pelicans make it), but the city in the background dominates for me so I put it here. Got this last week with my German friends who were...

Driving back from the beach the other day in rush hour traffic I decided to take side roads instead and wandered down this road in Huntington Beach. It's a park with a little lake or pond with tons of birds. So I pulled over and grabbed the Sony A6400 and went to capture some various birds...

One from a few years back that I have finally processed... :eek: This is in Huntington Beach California and the seagulls were flocking around like this was the Birds movie by Alfred Hitchcock. All comments are welcome, Jim

At the feeder. All comments are appreciated! Feeding time by Tom Makofski posted Jun 25, 2018 at 10:47 AM

I recently saw some panning shots of birds in flight, or just taking off, where the wingtips are slightly blurred conveying motion. I thought I'd try it one day on the beach - like most new techniques there is a definite learning curve. The only birds around happened to be very, very fast and...

These large flocks are quite a sight when they take off en masse to find more food. Skagit-Birds-3.18.18-(155) by Jim Dockery posted Mar 21, 2018 at 11:05 AM Skagit-Birds-3.18.18-(135) by Jim Dockery posted Mar 21, 2018 at 11:05 AM Skagit-Birds-3.18.18-(279) by Jim Dockery posted Mar 21, 2018...

I took my mom and a couple of other older friends up to see the birds in the Skagit Valley yesterday. It was cloudy and cool with no birds at the first two spots. Driving north we spotted a large flock of snow geese and stopped to watch them for a while and were treated to a few takeoffs when...
