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

This pair of Bald Eagles have been hanging around one of the lakes here for a couple weeks now. Saturday we had snow again, which is not a huge surprise. We took off in it and thought it was not a good idea to go down into the canyon so we headed in the direction of this lake. This pair of Bald Eagles we both agreed they must of came down from the Cascade Mountains for the better fishing and all around prey on what I call the flats. Not sure what others around here call this area. I call it the flats for one can actually walk it. I trekked out into the snow to capture these photographs. The one that is on the left is keeping it's eyes on me, that one seams to be the dominant Bald Eagle and the first to fly. The other followed.

Got fish?? One of the places I keep up with is the Wildlife Images Rehabilitation & Eduction Center. They called out for help. They need to feed the wildlife that is at their facility. Their 501 information;

Pocket Camera Tips For Beginner Photographer - A few days ago, many are asking, what if I only have a pocket camera and do not have the ability to change the shutter speed and aperture manually, but these elements is crucial in the world of photography? We think that's a very good question. you basically have two choices in dealing with cases like this. Upgrade Your Camera! This option can be the most ideal option if you want full control over the camera Aperture and Shutter Speed??, though you can do photography tips below but still you can not accurately perform for the camera settings. you have the two best options if you decide to upgrade the camera, the first is to buy a DSLR camera, or it can be a pocket camera that has manual settings or often called the prosumer. DSLR camera is probably the right choice if you want to have more control over and is not limited to just Aperture and Shutter speed. you will have the flexibility to choose a variety of lenses, shoot with manual mode and control of settings such as ISO, White Balance, Exposure, and others. Another alternative is to buy a pocket camera that features photography. Right now a lot of compact cameras on the market are equipped with manual control or semi-automatic. The first option is of course to make you spend more to upgrade the camera, if you still do not have more budget, try to follow techniques while photography is in the second option.

Definition Rule of Thirds in Photography - One of the main factors that distinguish between interesting photos with a normal photo is COMPOSITION or how the object / subject is placed in a photograph. Using the Rule of Thirds is not a fixed rule, but only a simple composition rules or guidelines to improve the composition of your photos. The concept of the Rule of Thirds contrary to the habits that occur in beginner photographer with their photos always put the subject right in the middle of the frame or often called dead center. Rule of Thirds guide the eye to the point of audience photos Point of Interest or Focal Point in nature, and not in this part of the middle frame. This rule identifies the Point of Interest (POI) and suggest that if you put the Point of Interest in the subject of the right point and collaborate with images tracing how the eye naturally, then you most likely have created an image results with good balance and interesting for the audience photo.

Lake Billy Chinook Oregon. These photographs were taken back in February of this year. I call this "the canyon". It is actually a lake. Read more at my blog.

A group of photos taken in two places that Chicagoans find convenient, when they escape from the winter: largish domed gardens, a little big to just be called "greenhouses"; these places have full grown trees living inside of them. Emphasis, chosen by those submitting, seems to have been on shots taken very close in - "macros".

Polaroid film is also called as instant film. It was designed for instant camera. The film contain chemical and the instant camera exposes and initiates developing process after photograph has been taken.

I pay a lot of attention to Ravens. Some of my best photographs came to be because of the ravens. Ravens are really just a big crow. They are a very intelligent bird, which I guess some can argue with. They work as a team. As a family unit and are very bold creature. More than one raven is called "An unkindness of ravens", I can see why because wow can they drive off the biggest of creatures! There are ten species of the Raven with two more that are said to be extinct. The Magpie appears to be tolerated by the Raven, though they too are finally ran off by the bigger Raven. The Magpie we have here are very smart birds, though I really do not "listen" to them as I do the Raven. After seeing the all the Ravens in a small clearing it did not take Guy long to stop the truck and off I went into the brush. Guy seen a little of what the Ravens were doing, this was running off the eagles. There were two eagles. One was a big Golden Eagle, the other was a young smaller Bald Eagle. Many of these two species of eagles are showing up together these days. I have not noticed this in years past, but this year WOW has this been obvious! The Golden Eagle standing on the prey is the first thing we noticed after the Ravens. The prey I could not identify. Did I want to identify it, not really!! It was white and it appeared to have died some time ago. One thing people do not understand about Eagles, the Golden Eagle and the Bald Eagle is, they will take a meal whether they themselves hunted it down, or if it died by some other means. Eagles will do their best to steal prey as well. The species of eagles are opportunists. They can be scavengers. The Raven were doing the best they could to run off the Eagles, but the Golden Eagle was having no part of being ran off by Ravens! The young Bald Eagle was trying to grab some of the meal when I was getting close, but took off up into a tree to watch. These are the photographs of this event.

Some days the Mule Deer show themselves, while other days they do not. Saturday was a day to show themselves, and it just happened to be a snowy day here in the high desert. The buck was funny, he did hide his head, or tried the best he could at first. After some time of just watching him, snapping some photographs he must of figured I was ok and not there to hurt him for he came out in the open long enough for me to get quite a few shots, adjusting my lens as I went. With his breath seen and the one antler looking like it does.... he is unique looking! The does and the older fawn stopped long enough for me to snap some photographs as well. For those new to Mule Deer. The Mule Deer are very big deer. They are called Mule Deer due to their very large ears.

When I take photographs I take them for me first. I went really public with my photographs a little while ago on this computer, some of you have even been with me through this process. With all the stuff I heard about computers and all.... I just kept them off the computer. Now with over 92,000 visitors to my site I think I have hopefully given people a little entertainment sharing our life over here in Oregon? I am enjoying showing and selling my photography to the world on the computer! I am even doing photograph calls n....
