It’s now the last week in March and it’s time to check the buds in a few of my favorite spots around Jordan lake, one being White Oak Marsh. It was to be a crystal clear and brisk morning, and the forecast was right on the money: mid-thirties, no clouds, and a good breeze to […]
It was another morning at the lake made richer by discovering the same photographer I found there from a few months back, already set up and firing away as I pulled into the parking lot. I was late as a result of my own procrastination getting out of bed and was rushed to set up […]

Sometimes we come across an unexpected scene that screams out to you to be photographed, and it has to be done quickly because the conditions are changing minute to minute, or even second to second. You just don’t have the time to get to the ‘best” position for the shot, so you follow the rule […]
