Perseus

Photography

I decided after all these years to go out and try to capture some meteors during the Perseus Meteor Shower. This year I left my house at 4:00am and drove to the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. It’s the darkest place near my house.

I saw a lot more than I captured

This is the hero shot!

I would do it again.

AntiCrepuscular Rays

Photography

Crepuscular rays (also called sun rays and sunbeams) are created when sunlight shines through gaps in clouds and continues through an atmosphere that contains dust and/or haze.

I saw this on my morning walk.

It seems odd, because the sun was rising in the other direction!

Whooping Cranes

Photography

Last Saturday I left the house with camera in hand and drove to the Hagerman Wildlife Refuge in hopes to capture some shots of the nesting Bald Eagles. Much to mu surprise there were three Whooping Cranes that stopped by to rest.

They were a little too far away for my Tamron 100-400 but a cool site nonetheless.

White Rock Eagles

Photography

I wen back to the lake to see if the Eagle was there. I went back to the same area and lo and behold, there one was sitting on the same tree branch.

This time I was able to get a little closer without disturbing the bird.

I’ll try again but I’m going to rent a Tamron 150-600mm lens.
