Maine! Little black clouds
Something in every layer of interest…from the beach rose pips and weathered post in the foreground to the snow fence and wind combed marsh grasses in the mid-ground, to the little black clouds just above the horizon…something to take the eye. I am sometimes accused of taking photos with nothing in them…but I say that is exactly what I am photographing…the too much to fit in a frame shots. Sony a5100 with 16-50 kit lens at 24mm equivalent.

Maine! Pretty Phoebe
Eastern Phoebe: York County Maine, USA, August 2024 — There are some old posts, maybe originally rail-road ties, that the Phoebes like to sit on while hunting. I like to photograph them there, because the weathered wood adds to the composition, and highlights the subtle beauty of the Phoebe. And then there is the out of focus marsh background. All in all, makes for a pretty Phoebe picture. Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii VC VXD zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
