Birds of prey (and other creatures)

One of the friends on the POTN forum brought up the subject of a live birds of prey exhibition, in a little town upstate New York. I found myself interested in this event – I never saw eagles or vultures up close.

Lunch breaks are for….

It’s a slow Friday, the weather is perfect, and you’re stuck in the office. What can you do to get out and enjoy the weather? Right! You use the lunch break to go out and shoot (photos). And if you are lucky to work in New York, not far from Central Park, you even get a good location for people and nature shots. You don’t have to own a fancy dSLR, any camera would do.

Spring (finally) came to New York

Spring finally came to New York, and yes, that’s not really news, but I got a serious cold that made me drink cold medicine like water. Definitely not pleasant, but hey, I didn’t catch a cold all winter, so that’s a win. Anyway, been away from the blog for a little while, thanks to the cold, but I now have couple of ideas worth sharing.

This past Sunday, I took a visit to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. The place was packed with people and flowers (d’oh!! spring finally came), and I took the 60mm macro, the 17-55mm, 85mm and 135mm lenses with me, along with the flash, camera,  memory cards and cold medicine.
