B&W photographs

Posted on June 15, 2013 by Robert Thompson

Lately I’ve been posting images of swans and flowers because that’s what has been around for me to shoot. Some of them I converted to B&W and a friend mentioned that he liked them. I do too, I started out with B&W many years ago and there is still something about them that I love. My B&W conversions are fairly dramatic, dark, contrasty, and grainy. That’s the nice thing, I can give them any look I want.

More Swans

Posted on June 9, 2013 by Robert Thompson

Swans are sure big, graceful, and beautiful birds and I don’t get tired of watching them. The one set of babies (cygnets) are getting big. Both Mom (called a Pen) and Dad (called a Cob) work together to protect their young. The younger cygnets posted here are about a week and a half old.

Geese and flowers

Posted on May 26, 2013 by Robert Thompson

I know I’m getting repetitive but at least I’m out with the camera. The baby geese are hard to shoot in the high weeds but I like to watch them. I’m going back tomorrow, there are older babies there that I didn’t see today.

Flowers, Geese, and a Building

Posted on May 24, 2013 by Robert Thompson

More flowers, easy right, maybe one day I’ll get a really good one. They sure don’t last long, seems like one day they are here and the next they’re gone. The Bergen Machine building in Hackettstown, NJ is going to be torn down, my Grandfather worked there many years ago as a tool and die maker.

At approximately 5:30 am on out trip back home we saw 2 moose, they are really huge! My long lens was in the trunk but I had a 24-105mm on the camera.

Swans

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Robert Thompson

It was challenging with dark water, white birds and bright noon sun. But they are beautiful birds. When the male took off the loud beat of his wings sounded like helicopter blades, it was awesome!

Spring

Posted on May 13, 2013 by Robert Thompson

I took some more pictures around the house and went for a short drive to photograph some swans and ducks. I generally do something with photography every day because I just have to. Not all of my pictures are great photographs but it’s what I do and I enjoy it.

Horse

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Robert Thompson

I was looking through the pictures I took Yesterday and determined I liked this one of the horse.  I like it because although it isn’t an action shot it does not look static but hints of action.
