Early Morning Photography
Early Morning Photography
Most mornings I have been up at the butt crack of dawn, and on the road or along the river looking for wildlife. There is always something to see, and early morning photography has the very best lighting.
My favorite this past week was 2 young moose in the beaver ponds at Schwabacher landing. I never could get them together, but I got some great water shots.
The moose grow so fast, these guys are this years calves. When they are against their mom, you can see that they are only about half the size as her.
And there have been birds. These two bald eagles were along the river.
One eagle flew, then the second flew. I missed getting them very good, and I am going to spend time learning how to shoot the birds in flight.
Duck butts. Cracks me up.
And a raven. He stayed for a long time, allowing me to get several good shots.
Mornings are great, evenings are pretty nice too, but the mornings are my favorite.
Early morning is the best time to see nature unfurl at its best. GOOD MORNING MARY! It’s the first day of school, and here I go….
Have a great first day of school!
The light differences between times of day really chances a photo, doesn’t it? I love early and late light for the way they change mood in a picture.
You should add stumble upon to your share buttons so it would be easier to share there. It might get you some more traffic with your gorgeous photos. We are up and out super early, but walking, no photography. There are a lot more things to see and sometimes even here, wildlife. Great photos as always.
Thanks for the tip! I added a new sharing system to allow that.
the lighting is amazing!
What a wonderful view of the world you have!
It is a good view, we enjoy it.
Hello, awesome images. I love the moose and the eagles. Cool captures. Happy Monday!
Um! These pictures are WOW! Those the little moose! They are so adorable and the reflection in the water that you captured is amazing Mary!
Thanks Jen!
Birds in flight shots are hard for me too; by the time I find them in the viewfinder they’re too far away.
Great photos, Mary.
I am going to practice and practice.
Found myself visiting Schwabacher’s Landing often. I so enjoyed sitting on one of those log benches and admiring the view and watching the ducks. Awesome you saw moose…. they eluded me, but then again, I wasn’t visiting at the crack of dawn. Lovely photos!
Schwabachers has been nice, morning and evening.
simply amazing!!!! I pin so many of your photos (and I always link back to you), that I wish you would get some sales from them!
Beautiful photos, that first shot blew me away. Love those eagles, what a thrill to see them in the wild!
It sure is worth it to wake up early! You are seeing some amazing animals — I love the moose and the eagles and the duck butts :)
Mornings are the best. I’ve been lazy lately and haven’t been dragging my lazy butt out of bed as early as I should. Those photos are simply awesome!!
Awesome photos, Mary! I have a feeling you’ll have birds-in-flight photography down pat in no time at all!! Love the young moose (meese?)!
Wow, eagles!!!
