The photo captures the iconic Lighthouse of Praia da Rocha in Portugal, standing tall against the backdrop of a vibrant sunset. The lighthouse, with its classic white and red stripes, stands proudly on a rocky promontory, overlooking the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. The warm hues of the sunset paint the sky in shades of orange and pink, casting a soft glow on the rugged cliffs and the serene waters below. The image beautifully combines the architectural elegance of the lighthouse with the natural beauty of the coastal landscape, creating a picturesque scene that evokes a sense of tranquility and maritime charm.

These are relatively large dragonflies. Their thoraces and abdomens are brown in color, with blue or yellow stripes or spots on the thorax, and yellow, blue or green spots on the abdomen.
Natalia von Ellenrieder's 2003 paper demonstrated that the Holarctic and Neotropical species placed in this genus did not share a common ancestor, and proposed the latter be placed in the genus Rhionaeschna.
The name Aeshna was coined by the Danish entomologist Fabricius in the 18th century. The name may have resulted from a printer's error in spelling the Greek Aechma, "a spear". The spelling Aeschna has been intermittently used over a period of time, but is now abandoned for the original name Aeshna. However, derived genus names (such as Rhionaeschna) retain the 'sch' spelling, as this is how they were first cited.

During the past couple of years I have been in three different continents photographing countless species of birds, mammals, insects and amphibians. And I have thousands of new photos to work through. Yet I keep finding myself stumbling onto new images that I like from my Brick Pond days around 2015. I wasn't even shooting in raw mode back then, which I find infinitely frustrating.
Anyhow, I think it's safe to surmise that Wood Ducks are my favorites as I never tire of looking at them. And I am reminded of something Arthur Morris wrote years ago: "Even if photographers chose to photograph only a single family of birds, such as the owl family, or a single species of bird, such as the Great Blue Heron, their life's work would never be done, their photographic collection never complete."
May my Wood Duck collection never be complete. April 18, 2015

I recently had the opportunity to photograph from the top of the Rockefeller Center, from the observatory decks named "Top of the Rock". The view from this location is excellent and the imagery waiting to be captured is eye-catching, but there are some things you should know before you go. I have posted a free guide to help you maximize your time at this location along with many tips that can be applied to other similar locations.

This image was captured at 16mm with the amazing Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Lens (www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-16-35mm-f-4-...), a great choice for this location and the Feisol TT-15 Mini Carbon Fiber Tabletop Tripod (www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Feisol-TT-15-Mini-Car...) made this 2 second shot possible.

While it is painful to get up early enough to photograph the sunrise in early summer (4:20 AM in this case), early summer is the right time of the year to photograph the Portland Lighthouse and the distant Ram Island Lighthouse from this angle with the sun in the frame.
With the middle daughter accompanying me, I arrived at Fort Williams in Cape Elizabeth, ME just before sunrise. I selected one specific composition to concentrate on during the prime shooting minutes, timed the rotating lighthouse light, bracketed exposures and, when capturing the foreground rocks being hit with the first light rays of the day, adjusted focus to a closer distance.
This image is composed primarily of three source images run through a complicated manual HDR process with manual focus-stacking. After the big effort made to capture this image (a long drive in addition to the early alarm), I was anxious to see how this photo turned out. It was the first-processed from my recent photo trip to Maine. I'm happy with the result – it was definitely worth my effort.
I'm also very happy with the 5Ds R and 16-35 f/4L IS combination. I can say that they "rock".

Use simple background for your images...
It's always fascinating to photograph the Bar Headed Geese as they are extremely photogenic and based on the background they stand out.
That's where you need to learn to use simple background to enhance your subject. Busy background with a lot of distractions spoils the composition by taking away the attention from the subject.
When you are shooting around water bodies, keep this simple tip in mind to make amazing images.

When presented with clear blue skies, I often avoid having significant sky coverage in my frame. But sometimes, blue is beautiful.
With a bright, evenly-colored background, the top of the mountains being hit by the morning sunlight creates a strong, eye-catching line. The strong contrast of the mountain shadow creates a second strong line. Take a great scene and reflect it to get symmetry with the result often being greater than twice as good as the image without a reflection.
The choice of focal length is always very important for composing an image. In this case, the twin peaks of the Maroon Bells were of primary interest to me. A focal length that makes these peaks large in the frame will best emphasize their over 14,000' size. I captured many frames using longer focal lengths, but I also liked seeing the bigger picture. With a mirror-calm water surface large enough to reflect the entire scene, I took advantage of the wider angle focal lengths available in the Canon EF 16-35mm f/4 L IS USM Lens (www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EF-16-35mm-f-4-...) on this morning.
When not to use a circular polarizer filter: at sunrise or sunset, with a wide angle focal length being used and large amounts of blue sky in the frame, it is unlikely that I have a CPL filter mounted on my lens. A CPL filter used with a low sun angle and lots of evenly-toned blue sky in the frame is a perfect recipe for very uneven darkening of the sky, a look that is generally not appreciated.

There is a lot of advice to be found regarding photography during the autumn season, but the primary visual difference of fall is the color of the foliage and to capture that color, one must GO OUTSIDE.
While that tip might sound simple, it is easy to sit in front of a computer or TV instead of making the effort to go out. You can DVR the football game to be watched later. Darkness comes earlier in the fall, so you have some time to catch up on the game or what is going on in the photography world after the light is gone. You can catch up on your post-processing backlog in the winter (what I'm telling myself).
A great fall location is Ricketts Glen State Park, near Benton, PA. With 22 named waterfalls in this park, along with many other photogenic woods and stream scenes, it is not hard to find wall-grade compositions. Located just below Waters Meet on the Falls Trails, Harrison Wright Falls, shown here, is one of my favorites.
Don't let the weather keep you inside. My favorite weather condition for shooting in RGSP is a light rain or immediately after any rain. The rain provides more flow in the stream, but it serves a couple of other important purposes. It keeps the other hikers and less-serious photographers out of the image (they stay home). It also makes everything in the scene wet, giving the surroundings a deep, rich color when photographed through a circular polarizer filters.
You will not capture images like this one indoors. Get out and find the colorful fall foliage. Get some exercise and breathe in the crisp air while doing so. Your body and mind will be rewarded along with your portfolio.

I am in love with street photography. It's what inspired me to pick up a camera in the first place. It became fairly addictive. There is nothing like capturing a great moment in time. So many special, interesting and fun things happen everyday, which are just fragments in our lives. I find it interesting to watch, search and capture those moments. I hope you will enjoy!
