It's quiet here along the Middle Fork of the Little River.  The water babbles over the moss-covered rocks, creating a relaxing sound that reverberates a bit off the mountains.  No one speaks as each guest is into their own camera, trying to catch the fleeting beauty of Autumn in the Smokies.  

To the west, the clouds gathering are turning a deeper shade of slate.  A slight breeze blows and cools off the morning nicely.  Lately, Texas is unseasonably warm and a bit drouthy.  Therefore, the prospects of rain (although it threatens to place our morning shoot on hiatus) is wholly welcome.      Aside from a brief moment of golden sunlight this morning, it’s been overcast.  

Pulling alongside the road in the dark, I can hear the waves crashing on the isolated cove below.  This is one of those moments where imagination comes full circle.  As a kid, I’d learned about Acadia National Park, and it’s a place that I’ve dreamt of visiting.  

It's been a while, but planning the Wild Horses of Sable Island nature photography workshop started on a famous ranch near Pawhuska, Oklahoma, in August of 2023.  On a road trip with my wife, we stopped in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, to eat breakfast at a restaurant owned by television personality Ree Drummond.  After breakfast, we head out to the vast Drummond Ranch, where her show The Pioneer Woman is filmed.  On our visit to the Drummond Ranch lodge, I was roaming through the kitc

Just getting in your vehicle and cruising around is often an excellent way to photograph wildlife. Animals get used to seeing vehicles, so you can often get close to them. In this nature photography video workshop, we're way out in far West Texas in search of what we can find along the roadside.

While spring is usually the wettest season at Redlands Ranch, the rain usually comes from itinerant thunderstorms that appear in the afternoon and are gone in the evening.  Once they are past, the ground dries until the next round of rain falls.  This rain is unusually persistent.  For the past two or three weeks, it’s been a slow and persistent rain.  One that makes everything green and makes everything soggy.

It’s misty outside, but here we are in a place I’d never imagined I’d be: a Dutch brown bar in Delft’s city center.  Inside here, our guests laugh with one another while we sip cappuccino and tell stories.  We’ve been on the move all week during our nature photography workshop, so this pause is a welcome respite.

It's quiet here in this mountain valley.  Elk are strewn along a wooded creek at the foot of the valley.  They are content, the people in this workshop are content, and all seems right.  

This is the second time I've come out to Northwest Texas for the Night Skies of the Texas Outback nature photography workshop, and it's for

There are all kinds of photographic techniques you can use while you are in the field photographing wildlife.

Soon, we're hopping off the boat and wading through the warm ocean waters up to the shore of the Corcovado National Park in one of the many

After being here two weeks prior, you'd think there wouldn't be anything new to see.

This month's webinar tackles a familiar subject: capturing great images of birds in flight.

"It's not supposed to be this hot in mid-October," I tell myself while standing next to the blind window, waiting for the slightest breeze.

From the bottom of the hill, you might mistake the animals for a scattering of rocks strewn about the fall-cured grasses. 

In this new series, I discuss some of my favorite images and the elements that make the images memorable. I'll break down the image, talk a
