My Year End Photography Recap - Tilt-shift #birds #wildlifephotoghraphy #birdphotography Ray Hennessy 2023-12-31 | In thinking about the end of the year and how I wanted to recap it, instead of picking some favorites like I have in the past I thought it might be more insightful into the progress of my own photography to look at some of the ways I feel I've grown as a wildlife photographer during 2023 and some of the new directions I see myself heading.

Photographing Waterfowl in New Mexico - Teaser #birds #wildlifephotoghraphy #birdphotography Ray Hennessy 2023-12-27 | Join me as I photograph waterfowl in a small lake in New Mexico during a beautiful sunset!View more details and full sized photos athttp://rayhennessy.com/lessons/waterfowl-in-new-mexicoShoot video:youtu.be/syJG-RF08koPhoto edits video:youtu.be/syJG-RF08koWe arrived at this small lake as a place to park for a few days during our visit to White Sands National Park in New Mexico. As soon as we arrived we saw the lake was filled with waterfowl and I knew I wanted to try to photograph them. It was windy most days which made things tough but on this evening the light looked like it had potential so I went out. It started off mostly overcast and started to break up as the sun set and the colors and sky were beautiful. The locations and slightly windy conditions still provided quite the challenge to capture beautiful photos but in the end I captured a few I was happy with. I hope you enjoy this evening with waterfowl.

Subject Background Separation for Wildlife Photography Ray Hennessy 2023-12-26 | In this lesson I share my techniques and thinking behind getting clean, smooth, not distracting backgrounds in your wildlife photos. I’ll share examples of when it fails and when it succeeds. This is a core concept for getting pretty wildlife photos, and the key is you don’t always have to be close to your subject, although that can certainly help!

Photographing Waterfowl in Texas - Teaser Ray Hennessy 2023-12-14 | Join me as I photograph waterfowl on a small lake in Texas during the winter.View more details and full sized photos at View more details and full sized photos at rayhennessy.com/lessons/2023/01/14/waterfowl-on-a-small-lake-in-texasShoot video:youtu.be/7ADdwkz0KbQPhoto edits video:youtu.be/ARZx7aQZLOQThis was my first time in Texas and I had chose this location based on some eBird research and a desire to stay in warm temperatures during a month long road-trip. Based on that research I knew there were ducks in the area but that doesn’t always mean it will be a good location for photography. Emilie & I had scouted this location the day before and had chosen this location to setup our hide and lay down for the waterfowl. It worked out great and we had some nice variety. The morning started with some soft pastel colors and soft light with just a hint of mist on the surface of the water. Next I was able to shoot some ducks silhouetted into the rising sun and then later with some front light. The morning provided a nice variety of options for us both. This lesson is a great example of how a bit of online research and then on-location scouting can give some solid results. If I had more time in the area I’d have been able to dial things in more but for my first time at a location I was happy with the results. Stay tuned for the next lesson which is more waterfowl in the same area but on a much larger body of water and on a completely foggy morning.

Figuring Out Your Minimum Shutter Speed for Wildlife Photography - Settings and Techniques Ray Hennessy 2023-12-13 | In this video I share how I suggest to learn your comfortable minimum shutter speed when out photographing wildlife. This is very helpful to know so you can shoot in lower light conditions without your ISO skyrocketing. It’s an easy thing to do with a small amount of free time in your own back yard. I hope you find this helpful and can put it to use in future outings!

It wasn’t as fun when it’s incredibly cold and windy for the area but I managed. I arrived just before sunrise so I could catch the sun coming up over the ocean. Another important thing was to choose a day with a lower tide since the mud flats at this beach aren’t exposed at higher tides and there can be far fewer or no birds then. Low tide always provides hundreds of birds to work with. I shot for a little over an hour and did my best to mix up lighting and species, although I tend to always spend more time with the Marbled Godwits. This is a great example of how I approach shorebirds on the beach no matter where I am. A good mix of laying around in one spot as well as moving a bit to get specific scenes. I hope you enjoy this classic outing at a beach for shorebirds.Chapters:0:00 - Intro0:42 - Setup5:08 - Shoot10:05 - Photo 111:08 - Photo 214:55 - Photo 316:46 - Photo 425:46 - Photo 528:03 - Photo 629:22 - Photo 734:16 - Photo 839:57 - Photo 942:01 - Photo 1044:18 - Photo 1147:19 - Photo 1250:44 - Photo 13

While in the area we decided to see what was around and I found some Snail Kites reported nearby on eBird. We decided to head out one morning and while we only saw one fly over in that area, we stopped to speak to a local photographer while walking. He shared another spot in the same large park that was great for Snail Kites. Later that morning we visited that location and it was incredible! The next day I went out and photographed this lesson in the same exact spot. Out of the three days I photographed this spot it was the worst conditions. The wind was coming at a bad direction which made the birds fly away from me anytime they dove down for a snail and the fog that had previously made the sunrise amazing went away very quickly on this morning, revealing rather harsh light. I still managed some shots I’m happy with but on the previous two days it was far more incredible! Sometimes that’s how it goes, the conditions can make a big difference in how a shoot goes, even in an amazing location with great birds! Hope you enjoy this one and something a little different with raptors in flight.

We went out for the morning and got lucky with two Roseate Spoonbills that were very cooperative. The morning started off with a small flock of Wood Storks that are often in this marsh, they slowly leave for the day, which is their normal behavior. They left before the sun broke through the clouds and over the nearby tree line. Eventually the sun started shining through and we got some great light with these very cooperative Spoonbills. We would have loved to stay longer but had time constraints that morning and so had to leave. We went back again the next morning which is a separate video. The main goal on this morning was to get nice back-lit portraits of the Spoonbills. I took advantage of the zoom lens to try some wider more scenic shots as well as the close portrait type images for some nice variety.
