My goal this morning was to try and get the Common Terns diving and catching fish (if the wind was blowing right and the sun was out). They are easier to capture than the Least Terns, but they are still somewhat erratic. The real challenge though is focusing on the birds near the water, especially if there is any splash. Your camera loses focus quite easily. I did make a few adjustments to my camera settings and I had more success than the other day. This was a lot of fun, although after an hour I was through - too much to do at home. (1 of 4)

Helgoland series: Couple goals

Last April I visited the Northern Gannets (Morus bassanus) on Helgoland. I spent almost a week watching their mating and bonding rituals and the tenderness between the breeding partners. It was so much fun - just sitting there and watching them ... there are still many pictures on my hard drive, but I can't bring myself to process them. Knowing that many of the beautiful birds I photographed in April died in the following months breaks my heart. This colony (as so many others) was severely hit by an outbreak of the Avian Flu in 2022.

Im letzten April habe ich die Basstölpel auf Helgoland besucht. Fast eine Woche lang habe ich die Seevögel und ihr Verhalten beobachtet. Besonders rührend war es zu sehen, wie zärtlich die Brutpartner miteinander umgingen. Ich habe noch so viele Fotos auf der Festplatte, aber ich kann mich im Moment nicht überwinden, sie zu bearbeiten. Viele der wunderschönen Vögel, die ich fotografiert habe, starben in den folgenden Monaten an der Vogelgrippe, nur wenige Küken überlebten. 2022 war kein gutes Jahr für diese Kolonie - hoffen wir, dass 2023 ein besseres wird!

Simple Goals by Steven Bulman Photography

It was simplicity that was the goal of this shot. A rock, a cloud, and the ocean. "Less is more", they say when it comes to life. Until it was discovered that a very wealthy individual coined the phrase, attempting to convince the less fortunate to accept their lot in life.

However, this simple phrase is true in photography. eliminating clutter does remove distractions. This is what the phrase is meant to illustrate. These are the simple goals that any photographer desires.

One of my goals this year was finding this species. We were lucky to find this pair nesting. We followed the begging calls that morning and found this low nest. The angles and lighting were a challenge. The parents were skittish so a blind really helped out. I took lots of pics in different lighting situations and angles.

I haven't got any grand travel plans for 2025. But that's OK as looking closer to home offers many possibilities. I would like to shoot more Jurassic Coast, Dartmoor and Cornwall.

And Somerset - I will be keeping a close eye on the redevelopment of this pier. I can't believe I have not shot Glastonbury Tor and then there is those skeleton trees near Exmoor.

So lots to think about and hopefully this Twixmas gloomy weather will pass. Please join me if anyone finds themselves down my way.

On another note will this Gavin and Stacey hype ever end? Only mentioning it as this is dead opposite Barry Island.

Winter Descends by Phil Varney

I left early from Georgia Tech to make it over US441 before the big snow storm closed the road. I made it to Newfound Gap around 330 PM, and the road to Clingman's Dome had already been shut down. My goal was to reach a stretch on the TN of the road that always has amazing color late in the fall season (the color you see here is the tree tops of that section). I couldn't resist passing up this overlook, though. It's very likely that it's already snowing in those clouds hugging the mountains tops. The highest elevations in the park ended up receiving over 18 inches of snow! Rarely do you get to see such a stark contrast of seasons as you did this particular weekend.

My goal with this series is to explore every day scenes under the cover of darkness. A street corner, a lamp post, a doorway. Big city, small town, urban, rural. Man-made light versus nature’s darkness–––light and shadow interpreting minimalist settings in black and white. To see more in this series, check out Cover Of Darkness
