Morning Atmospheric Woodland Photography
This week's adventure we go to one of my favorite nature preserves in search of birch trees and foggy conditions. This area has abundant wildlife, low laying marshy areas and ponds. The conditions were almost perfect, but this area never disappoints no matter the atmosphere.

Searching For Spring Flowers
Просмотров 334 месяца назад
In this week's behind the scenes, I head to a local nature preserve in search of spring Trillium. After getting up before the sunrise I realize I'm a week early for the bloom. Instead of packing up and leaving I opted to focus on the smaller scenes. An inspiration for the was from watching and learning from Simon Booth. His channel will be linked further down. Let me know, would you consider th...

After waking up and having a change of heart as to where to go for the day's photography journey, I ended up taking in sunrise over a hazy lake with abundant wildlife.

Today we head to Wolf Lake for "Fine Art" Photography. Creating your vision for what you see or want to create. With this I went for a Minimal, Liminal vision.

Michigan City Lighthouse High Seas

This week I go to Michigan City Lighthouse in search of long exposures and reflection shots. Upon arrival the lake was rolling with six-to-ten-foot waves crashing into the pier and lighthouse.

In this week's video I brave -20F degree temperatures to capture some stunning photos of Michigan City Lighthouse.

    Have to admit, I'm a little jealous. I don't know of any place near me that has trillium in such great numbers. It's usually just a patch here, a patch there, and a lot of individuals. If I had a place like this, I'd make a point of getting out each year. It's been a couple years now since I last photographed the trillium. Yeah, keeping to the trails can make things a bit more difficult, but in the end it really is worth it in what we leave for others. The trillium are also very fragile and if you disturb them too much, they won't be back.

    • @billshepardphotography
      @billshepardphotography 3 месяца назад

      I definitely try to get there every year they bloom, it's absolutely amazing to be honest. And it's sad, but I see people trampling through areas like this with no respect for anyone else that could enjoy them. Especially next generations. I greatly appreciate the comment, thank you very much.

    Beautiful location Bill. As far as I know, we don't have any bluebells in Oregon, but there is a little park with some great flowers that I keep hoping to get back to. It's about an hour a way and work always complicates things. Maybe next year.

    • @billshepardphotography
      @billshepardphotography 4 месяца назад

      That's about the distance away from me. This preserve is just over an hour. Not being close, you're reliant on weather apps, etc... work is one of my issues too lol

  • @craigpiferphotography
    @craigpiferphotography 4 месяца назад

    I don't manage to get out for the trillium every year, but I do enjoy shooting them. I actually got 3 videos out of it 2 years ago as I was starting my channel. Definitely one of my favorite flowers, maybe because of the limited time to see them.

    • @billshepardphotography
      @billshepardphotography 4 месяца назад

      They definitely don't last long once they bloom. The last couple years I got there right in time, but it could be a week or two difference year to year. I have another one coming up when I went back here. I'll check out your channel

    • @billshepardphotography
      @billshepardphotography 5 месяцев назад

      Absolutely on the chaos. Yes, it's actually a sigma 100-400 F mount. It does a decent job, but it's a little finicky with auto focus.

    Definitely on the same page with a fellow Hoosier. The fall shot of the tree/water is a better image in my opinion. Indiana woodland landscape photography isn't easy. Keep looking, keep working it, keep up the good work!

    • @billshepardphotography

    My mother and I used to work with some of the people whose families were displaced when the park was initiated. I've been there many times fishing and hiking, though it's been years. You have to be creative in northern and central Indiana since we don't have mountain vistas or crashing shorelines. Good job, I saw Pototo Creek in a new light.

    • @billshepardphotography
      @billshepardphotography 6 месяцев назад

      Potato Creek is definitely a beautiful park, especially in fall. We used to go there quite a bit when I was young, It had been so long since I'd been there, I really didn't have time to explore like I wanted. I plan on going more frequently in different seasons. You are correct too, the few things that Indiana is missing would create some amazing photos, I absolutely love the challenge though. I had no idea the park displaced people though, that's pretty interesting. Thank you very much.
