• My favorite photo so far….

  ‘

   

  As some of you know I received my Nikon D5100 for Christmas and have been slowly taking photos.  Back in June I took a photography class that took us to a sanctuary to photograph injured raptors that would never be capable of returning to the wild.  Out of all the birds the great horned owl was by far my favorite.  She was huge!!!  And she looked at each and every one of us.  You knew you were standing in the presence of royalty, and she held herself as such.  The trust she had with her handler was beautiful.  But I felt beyond privileged that this beautiful majestic bird allowed us to take her photo over and over again.  Out of the hundreds of photos I took this one by far was my favorite.  I was so proud of the job I did, but I must admit, the lens I had borrowed from the studio really made me look like a pro…lol.   I hope to upload more, it’s been a little tough as I’ve been shooting in raw file and it’s such a big file that it doesn’t always download to each format easily.  But I do have more, even from the sea turtle release I went to last weekend in the Hamptons.  I will do my best to share some more.
