Location: Tour of Kansas Lakes- Cedar Bluff, Wilson, Glen Elder, & Tuttle
Shoot type: Wildlife
# of images: 2 | Synopsis: This was a long day shoot on my way to Kansas City from Dodge City. I started off at Cedar Bluff Reservoir where I did a sunrise landscape shoot. I then headed to Wilson Lake where I photograph some coots and a distant Bald Eagle. Next was Glen Elder, where the wildlife was closer and much more prominent. There were probably 100,000 Snow Geese using Glen Elder, and I photographed a sub-flock of them near the south shore in the early afternoon. Lastly, I went to Tuttle Creek (below the dam) where I photographed various wildlife from herons to gulls to geese, ducks, and Bald Eagles.

Location: Squaw Creek National Wildlife Refuge, MO
Shoot type: Wildlife
# of images: 4 | Synopsis: This was a very fun shoot with a lot of nice images. The best was probably right at the beginning of the shoot when a Harlans Hawk (A subspecies of Red-tailed Hawk) was perched right along the road in excellent light staring right at me. I got some of my best Bald Eagle images to date, as well as Trumpeter Swans.

Location: A very dark location somewhere in western Hamilton County, Kansas
Shoot type: Landscape
# of images: 2 | Synopsis: I set out to photograph the Geminids late night on the 13-14th. The absence of the moon provided a good shooting condition (along with the lack of clouds!). I sat at a location in desolate western Hamilton County and photographed for about 3 hours or so. I ended up compositing some 50+ meteors in one image that ended up being well-received on Facebook. This was the first time I attempted a composite image like this, using Photoshop. It took probably 4 hours or so in total to complete the composite image... all done manually! There were a few really bright meteors that stood out... bright enough to create shadows!

# of images: 0 | Synopsis: I hit three stops on this tour including Paradise (private land in Ford County), Jetmore Cemetery, and Horse Thief Reservoir. The birding was slow, but did get a decent look and image of a Townsend Solitaire at the Jetmore Cemetery.

Location: My backyard
Shoot type: Wildlife
# of images: 2 | Synopsis: One good image came of this shoot of a Pine Siskin feeding on a dried cone flower seed head. Otherwise, nothing much came of this shoot as I was experimenting with different perches (including the spent cone flowers).
