Have you ever imagine of seeing best pictures of winter with animals roaming in the streets and human riding on the cycle going through the mist lit by street light. If not then see the digital photography of night by Mikko Lagerstedt. He is from Finland and most of his work is of his own environment. He mastered in night photography with a different taste. His exposure level is amazing and composition are stunning.

I like photographing such things, nature makes it's own designs and we need to do nothing but look.

Sergio Occhiuzzo is among the few contemporary name in the fine art photography. His work is of versatile nature and many of his pictures are of abstract form giving a strong hidden message.

National Geographic annually hold a photo contest. Photographers from around the world take part in this competition. There are many categories of the competition like travel, nature,people, places etc. Following are some examples of entries from the National-Geographic Photo Contest 2011.

Nature is a wondrous thing. At times doing things that frankly, amazes us! The selenelion effect made these photographs come out rather neat looking, only with some cropping done. This selenelion effect is when both the eclipsed moon and the sun can be seen at the same time. Of course I get what I am given and these photographs are what I got. A well known fact is, I dont do night time photography. It was so cold Saturday morning here in Jefferson County Oregon!! Without much more talking, here are my photographs from the Lunar Eclipse here in Central Oregon.

Interview with Wildlife and Nature Photographer Coralie aka mrsroadrunner

While deep in the Ochoco Mountains we ran across a nice flowing creek. I love running water and just had to stop!! Upon inspection of where we were it was obvious this spot had been used as a hunting camp. The legs of the elk and the "meat hangers" (we laughed for I am sure there is a real name for them ha) , that were nailed to the trees. The feathers laying around looked as if maybe a turkey was in the mix with the elk? Even a spot for a bathroom. Gave us this impression. Guy wondered further down the creek then I for things happen to catch my eye. So I was wondering around on my own taking shots of the ice that was found where the water was not running fast. As I was doing my thing I heard some racket that was obviously coming from the trees and from birds. As you can imagine wild creatures do not just sit still so one can snap off photographs, so off I went to get this loud birds photographs! There were at least 3 of these birds, however non of them were all that impressed with any of us there! From the information I gathered of this bird, these must of been truly wild Gray Jays!! Not yet ingrained with human presents. I first thought this was a nutcracker. We have many of those around so it seams. Same family as these Gray Jays, but so is the steller's jay,blue jay and the western scrub jay , the crows, the ravens there is a lot of species in the Corvidae family!! From the sub species of the Gray Jay and getting these photographs in the Ochoco mountains this determined these to be the Bicolored Gray Jay. One thing all these birds have in common is, they are very smart!! Smarter then humans give them credit for! Over the Cascade Mountains there is yet another sub species of the Gray Jay over there with different needs and habits. That Gray Jay does not like snow, the ones here better like snow! Like all birds of the Corvidae family, they are pretty much scavengers, however it appears all the species of the Gray Jay have different food s

Mother Nature Makes Everything A Little Different

Nature can be not so nice. Animals have to eat, this is just the way it is. Birds of prey are a favorite of mine to capture with my camera. I like to get them hunting and when I get a chance, to get them eating. I chose only ten photographs to show, from when I first seen this red tailed hawk eating, to when he flew off. It was not easy to pick out only ten photographs!! He/she even gave me the evil eye a time or two! When Guy asked me if I wanted to go somewhere I was up and getting ready!

One thing you can be sure of, the Cascade Mountains are named Cascades for a reason. Plenty of waterfalls!!

Our life's here consists of several things, hiking is a huge part of our life's. Guy calls these "walks", long walks! I admit I am not the fastest walker. To busy looking around I guess?

One thing to be assured of here in Oregon is, never know what you are going to see here! I noticed this blue butterfly fluttering around, then oh my I noticed a whole lot more! I paid attention for these photographs to just one. The site of so much blue was quite pretty. Sure the wild Lupine flowers are blue, but these were flying!! So, what is a person who is armed with their trusty camera to do? Take photographs of course!

When I seen all the activity going on on a thistle flower, well I had to get the action with my camera! Thistle is a great attraction to all sorts of nectar eating bugs, butterflies are no different! Some of these photographs are very busy, it was a active place!

Photographs like these do not come around a whole lot. This is a set of photographs of the Mule Deer and Faith, Hope and Charity commonly known as The Sisters Mountains. Everyone who follows me knows how I feel about nature and wildlife and to get these photographs I am rather tickled. At the right place, and the right time.
