After a stressful day of nursing along a doggy with pancreatitis I needed some fresh air and a couple miles on the trail. I hoped I would find some deer or elk to photograph during the golden hour, but it was completely by accident that I found my favorite mule deer bucks, The Three Amigos!
Even though I knew it was going to be too cold, I decided to check on our bald eagle nesting pair anyway. When I arrived I was glad to find them both near the nest, guarding over their home for the next few months.
Finally after years of uncertainty and consternation, the Explore Act was signed into law this week. The Act is a wide ranging set of new laws which will provide for the construction of new campgrounds, shooting ranges, trails and much more. Most important to me and many photographers and videographers, is the inclusion of the Film Act within the text of the bill. The Act eliminates the requirement for for purchasing an expensive permit to film in national parks and forests with the intent to make a profit, even though you might not have known at the time that you were shooting for profit. This of course affected basically all Youtubers, who have had to live in fear of huge fines for their activities, which were legal at the time they created the film. with onerous application requirements and an uncertain outcome
A new year is almost upon us and it seems like a good time to take a look back at 2024, one year in the life of a photographer. Join me in this post as I review a year of pictures in the rugged mountains of Colorado.
Had a good couple of days with some winter wildlife photography using my mirrorless Canon R7. I considered making this post about shooting winter wildlife with a mirrorless camera, so I came up with this... It's just like shooting winter wildlife with a DSLR, so do what you did then. Which is also what I said when DSLR cameras came out. It's just like shooting wildlife with your SLR film camera, so just do what you were doing then. Lol, but then it was pointed out to me that not everyone started shooting wildlife with a 35mm film SLR, and some people never even had a DSLR, so there is that.
This is the time of year when I frequently visit the Eleven Mile Fishing Report to check the status of the ice cover. Upon discovering that the reservoir is completely frozen over, I decided to make an early morning visit to investigate the bald eagle nesting pair's return to their winter home in the canyon.
