This was my first time ever really pushing into longer exposure ICM bird in flight shots of a Northern Gannet. I took this one at 1/2 second exposure and right after I pressed the shutter button I panned the camera to the right in front of the bird so the streaks would trail behind it. This is definitely a technique I want to try more of in the future and I was glad to get a bunch of clients trying it as well during the workshop.

.4 seconds • f/40 • ISO 32 • Nikon Z9 • 320mm • Nikon Z 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
