Hey my talk with Taylor is live from @BSidesCharm if anyone wants to catch the replay. https://t.co/kxI8jYFON0

I spent a long time trying to figure out why I like this image so much. It took me painting lines on it to figure it out. Movement, tension to release, every bit of clutter and branches all flow to the same open spot. Y'all ever take an image you love and have no idea why? #birds

New Blog out now: OM System saw my daughter's work, noticed I shoot Nikon, and sent me their flagship gear for a month to see what I could do with it. Challenge accepted. #birds https://t.co/zc0YsaJfpr

Looking back on my month with OM's flagship. Fantastic camera, incredible tech, held back by a small sensor. Would I recommend it? My daughter wouldn't use anything else. That tells you everything. #omsystem #birds #bnw #wildlifephotography #birdphotography

Bald eagle, backlit through branches. A week of testing OM's flagship gear against how I actually shoot, handheld, reactive, tricky light. It kept up. Challenge met. More than that I had fun testing it. #omsystem #birds #baldeagle #wildlifephotography #birdphotography

Smaller sensor, fewer megapixels. Can't crop as much, so I had to compose instead. Pushed me into environmental shots I wouldn't normally take. Stretched me as a photographer. #omsystem #birds #wildlifephotography #composition #storytelling

Fast action is where gear either keeps up or gets left behind. 50fps raw and sticky AF that tracked through wing beats. No complaints. I do wish they had a fake shutter sound though. #omsystem #birds #bif #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #actionphotography

I live for tricky light. Backlit, dramatic shadows, conditions where most gear struggles. The 300mm f/4 handled it without fuss. #omsystem #birds #mallard #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #dramaticlight

Wouldn't have gotten this shot with my 600mm, it was too close. Sometimes I miss having a good versatile zoom, was fun to get to play with one. The zoom saved it. #omsystem #birds #mallard #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #perfecttiming

I shoot moody. I shoot fog. I shoot what shows up. Today that was geese. That's more than enough. OM kept up with the fog pretty good too. #omsystem #birds #canadagoose #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #foggymorning

OM System saw my kid's work, noticed I shoot Nikon, and basically said "try our flagship gear for a month." Challenge accepted. Same day, same subject, our styles. Here's what happened. #omsystem #wildlifephotography #birdphotography #worldshares

Some fine art Sunday. This one is called Bifurcation. #birds #wildlifephotography

Anyone in the mood for fish? #birds #wildlifephotography #actionshot

Let's start Friday morning with a little yoga. Y'all might need it before running over each other with shopping carts :P #ducks #birds #wildlife

Duck season is in full flap. #birds #mallard  #ducks #wildlife

The long, horizontal crop here is intentional. It emphasizes the water texture and the reflection, making the small subject feel dramatic and isolated in the vast scene. #birds #merganser #ducks #wildlife

Owls always see you first. Finding this Barred Owl framed perfectly by the dense leaves is always special. The best owl encounters always feel a little secret. #birds #owls #barredowl #wildlife

Used an odd vertical crop here on purpose to show the contrast. You have the super soft fall foliage at the top, the bird sharp and clear, and the misty water underneath. It's all about separating those layers. #mallard #birds #wildlife #fall

My first trip to Blackwater paid off. I have a rule about not shooting into the sky but the way the branches and the fall color framed this eagle made me break it. Break rules kids, it pays off. #baldeagle #raptor #birds #wildlife

Have you ever seen a gull that looks this cool? I mean usually they just attack you for French fries not look like predators diving in the marsh. #birds #wildlife #gull
