The Pelican Brief 12-11-16

I had another great day of photographing American white pelicans at Lake Chabot.  The pelicans had pretty much taken over the lake, making the task of capturing good pictures relatively easy.

It was a great day to photograph pelicans at Lake Chabot.  There were a number of American white pelicans which approached the shore and the morning light helped create a dramatic mood.

Black Friday Pictures 11-25-16

I'm not much of a Black Friday shopper, so I decided to head out to Lake Chabot for a morning of photography.

The usual cast of players were in abundance -- great egrets, American white pelicans, great blue heron and double-crested cormorants -- but it was the pelicans and one particular great egret that caught my eye.

A great week for photography 11-18-16

I took a much-needed break from my computer work this week and spent several days doing what I love most -- making pictures.  I was fortunate to not only have great weather, but an abundance of birds to shoot.

A long Summer 11-06-16

It sure didn't feel like November today.  I ventured out into the Hayward Shoreline Interpretive Center this evening in a t-shirt.  Despite the heavy cloud cover and high tide, there were quite a few great egrets, snowy egrets and other birds around to photograph.  I even managed to grab a few nice shots of a squirrel feeding.

OK for a gray day 10-29-16

Nothing compares to golden hour light, but since there wasn't much sun this morning, I didn't have much of a choice: stay home in front of the TV or get out and try to make some pictures.  As far as I'm concerned, there's really only one option.
