Spirits of Winter
G’day Everyone,
While I consider myself a druid of sorts I’m not prone to numinous tendencies. Then again, I have my moments.
I was photographing snow geese at the Dead Creek Wildlife Preserve in Addison, VT on a bitterly cold morning a few autumns ago when I happened to glance away from my camera. My eyes were tearing in the biting wind and I had to wipe them every few moments. As I turned to swipe the sleeve of my fleece jacket across my face, I was confronted by the transfixing stare of a snowy owl.
Camera Hunting with Remote Setups – Epilogue
G’day Everyone,
In this final briefing of our experiences using high-quality game cameras to produce publishable images of otherwise elusive wildlife, I’ll cover the important considerations for placing the cameras in the field, that is, for locating field sites with a reasonably high potential for yielding usable images of the intended subjects, and I will also provide you with some pointers on properly positioning the cameras.

G’day Everyone and a joyful, fulfilling, and positively memorable 2009 to all of you.
I read somewhere that the number of Christmas cards one gets every year can portend how many people might attend one’s funeral. Bah humbug! Cheryl and I don’t send out Christmas cards and what you sow, so shall you reap. If the number of cards hanging over our front doorway is any indication of the size of my future funeral, than I’d like to thank that person, in advance, for showing up and would they please make sure that the camera clutched in my cold hands is on aperture priority, ISO 400, and the flash is set to fill flash, -1 stop.
