I have been spending my weekends out an
about but I have not managed any good photographs. I spent a couple
of days at the Bashakill Wetlands and didn't really see to much. I
did encounter a lot of people out enjoying the trails before winter
set in this week. I have also been monitoring the local reservoirs
for eagle activity, but I have only seen a couple. Nothing close
enough to photograph. I did see some kind of weasel or fisher but I
was not sure exactly what it was. The photographs I did manage were
to blurry. It was a long way away from me, but I was still very
happy to get the opportunity to see it. I don't normally see them.
This weekend was another lost weekend
because of the major snowstorm. The roads have been to dangerous to
risk going anywhere, and it is still snowing. Hopefully next weekend
will be better.
Since I was stuck mostly inside I
decided I would order a GoPro Hero 8 and some other stuff. I am
hoping to start making vlog videos for YouTube in the future. I
figured getting a video camera would be the only way for me to
accomplish that so I made the purchase while it was on sale this
weekend. I had already ordered a Rode video micro microphone for my
camera so I can start to do some videography of my trips. I am
hoping that this winter I will be able to take some video of the bald
eagles that I have been photographing for over a decade.
Since I was basically stuck at home I
decided that I would make a Shutterstock account and test my luck
with selling some of the my photographs. I am interested to see how
it turns out. So far 9 out of 10 of my images were accepted. I was
extremely happy about that. I was all worried that my images would
not even make the cut to be accepted. Only time will tell how this
will work out for me. Over time I hope that I can talk a little more
about my findings with Stock photography.
I am hoping to get out an take more
photographs soon. Until Next Time.
