Red-Tailed Hawk — Buteo jamaicensis
The beauty behind Hollywood’s “Eagle Screech”.
The grainy corners are a product of wooden slates, just barely in the frame.
Species: Bassaniana versicolor This spider truly earned the title “Reprieve.” It was a double rescue: first found tucked under a couch during a deep clean, then appearing again weeks later on a kitchen counter. My wife actually mistook it for a large tick at first, but after a closer look, I relocated it to an Aloe Vera plant. It immediately made itself at home in the mulch soil mix, staying perfectly still and allowing me to work through a range of long exposures—ranging from 1/80s all the way up to a deep 8.0 seconds—to pull out every bit of texture. A member of the Thomisidae family, these ambush predators are built for deception. Their bodies are incredibly flat, covered in a mottled pattern of browns, blacks, whites, and pale yellows. This camouflage allows them to press tight against living trees or forest floor debris, where they are easily mistaken for bits of dirty bark or even bird droppings. Unlike web-builders, they rely entirely on the element of surprise to snag mites and springtails. Their front legs are significantly longer than the rest, giving them a distinct sideways scuttle that mimics the behavior of a crab. Life Cycle & Dimorphism: These spiders are remarkably hardy, often overwintering as adults or nearly mature juveniles. During the cold months, they congregate under loose bark or within leaf litter, entering a state of torpor but remaining capable of activity if a mid-winter thaw occurs. There is also a significant difference between the sexes; females are the "giants" of the species, reaching nearly 7mm in length with a broad, rounded abdomen. Males are much smaller—roughly half the size of the females—and possess slimmer bodies with relatively longer legs and prominent, bulbous pedipalps used for mating.

“The Winter Survivor” | Dark Fishing Spider Species: Dolomedes tenebrosus This striking encounter felt less like a simple photo op and more like a mutual observation. Often mistaken for a Wolf Spider due to its size and mottled pattern, the Dark Fishing Spider is a master of stillness. This particular individual showcased the species’ incredible “freeze” defense, reacting to the rhythmic click of the shutter by tapping its legs—testing the vibrations of its environment. Beyond its cryptic camouflage, this species is a biological marvel. They are known to over-winter in a state of semi-activity, producing “anti-freeze” (cryoprotectants) within their bodies to prevent cellular damage during the harsh cold. The standoff lasted several minutes until a momentary break in eye contact gave the spider the opening it needed to vanish back into the shadows of the brickwork.

In the soft, amber glow of the "golden hour," a seasonal drama unfolds on the water. These images capture the persistent courtship rituals of the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). Though these birds are generally non-monogamous and form new pairs each season, the social competition remains fierce. In this series, a group of drakes began encircling a single hen. Despite her having already selected a partner for the season, these "plucky chaps" continued their display of bravado. The lighting highlights the stark, beautiful contrast between the sexes: • The Drakes: Shimmering emerald-green heads and bold yellow bills, caught here in high-contrast brilliance. • The Hen: A sophisticated palette of warm tints and earthy shades of brown, providing the perfect camouflaged counterpoint to her vibrant suitors. The narrow aperture of f/13 ensured that the intricate detail of the feather "scales" remained sharp, while the adapted Canon glass captured the gentle ripple of the bay, as the chase continued.

Technical Breakdown: The Midcoast Maine Triptych Camera System: Sony a7 III (ILCE-7M3) Lens: FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS 1. Emerald Sentinel • Exposure: ISO 6400, 38mm, f/6.3, 1/13s. • Sensor Performance: Shooting at ISO 6400 on the a7 III pushes the sensor's dynamic range. The local noise reduction mask was essential here to clean up shadow luminance noise while preserving the high-frequency detail of the spine tips. • Optics: At 38mm and f/6.3, the lens provides a wide enough field of view to capture the surrounding crevice while maintaining a sharp focal plane across the urchin's center. • Stabilization: The 1/13s shutter speed relies heavily on the lens's Optical SteadyShot (OSS) to prevent motion blur at this focal length.
2. The Hidden Reef • Exposure: ISO 4000, 54mm, f/6.3, 1/20s. • Depth of Field: Moving to 54mm slightly compresses the background, which, combined with f/6.3, allows the kelp and barnacles to remain recognizable but secondary to the urchin. • Noise Profile: The lower ISO (4000) compared to the first shot allowed for more aggressive shadow recovery (+15) without introducing significant grain clumping in the dark rock textures. • Compositional Detail: The 1/20s speed was sufficient to freeze the static elements of the tide pool environment.
3. Golden Submergence • Exposure: ISO 6400, 54mm, f/6.3, 1/13s. • Color Science: The high ISO combined with the warm substrate light required careful calibration of the orange and yellow channels to prevent "color bleed" into the purple urchin spines. • Macro Definition: Using 54mm at the lens's close-focus distance maximized the magnification of the hitchhiking shell on the urchin's surface. • Shadow Management: At 1/13s, the exposure captured significant ambient light from the substrate, requiring the +15 shadow boost to be balanced against a -10 Black point to maintain professional contrast.

I wanted to give a better impression of what it looked like without the high glare and spaceman. I feel rather impressed by the level of details the photo holds at 24in x 24in ( approximately 61cm x 61cm )
The spot that was chosen on the wall is pretty poor when it comes to taking “minimalist” photos — so I moved it to the counter, for a moment.

Coastal Luminance: Port Clyde at Twilight Location: Port Clyde, Maine Date: February 2, 2026 Timeframe: 16:45 – 17:25 This collection captures the transitional stillness of a Maine winter evening, documented during the "blue hour" at Port Clyde. Utilizing extended exposure durations and specialized filtration, these works explore the intersection of tidal movement and atmospheric light through a low-profile lens. Technical Narrative The series was captured using a Sony a7 III paired with a 28-70mm lens. To achieve the vivid, magenta-leaning spectral profile and enhanced contrast, an FLD filter was employed, saturating the cool tones of the horizon. By shooting at ISO 50 with a consistent aperture of f/6.3, the technical focus remained on temporal manipulation. Low-angle perspectives were utilized to emphasize the foreground texture, while exposure times ranging from 1 to 20 seconds effectively "froze" the incoming tide into sculptural, silken ripples, transforming the Atlantic’s surface into a static, glass-like state. Artistic Perspective The result is a monochromatic study in purple and deep indigo. The long exposures serve to deconstruct the chaotic energy of the surf, replacing it with a sense of profound serenity. By positioning the camera close to the shoreline, the compositions highlight the rhythmic, frozen patterns of the water as it meets the kelp-covered basalt. From these meticulously captured foreground undulations to the soft gradients of the horizon, this set invites the viewer to experience the immense, colorful silence of a mid-winter dusk on the coast.

SDR A Study in Chromatic Long-Exposure The Work Violet Tide is a masterful intersection of timing and optical filtration. Captured at the edge of the incoming tide, the work utilizes a 20-second long exposure to soften the Atlantic's kinesis into a glass-like surface of deep magenta and indigo. By deploying an FLD (Fluorescent Daylight) filter, the photographer has intentionally shifted the natural twilight spectrum into a surrealist palette, finding an electric vibrancy within the coastal dusk. Technical Narrative Executing this vision required a disciplined approach to light management. Shooting at a low angle at 40mm, the composition emphasizes the leading lines of the ridged sand, which serve as conduits for the reflected sky. • Optics & Filtration: The combination of an FLD filter and a dedicated lens hood allowed for deep color saturation while maintaining critical contrast, preventing stray light from softening the frame's edges. • Exposure Architecture: Using the Sony a7 III's expanded ISO 50 and an aperture of f/6.3, the photographer achieved a 20-second shutter speed without the need for heavy neutral density stacking, preserving the subtle textures of the receding shoreline. • Dynamic Range: Presented in both HDR and SDR, the piece showcases a vast tonal range, from the darkest silhouettes of the treeline to the luminous, high-chroma peaks of the cloud formations.

The subsequent plates, taken as the afternoon light faded, transition to a 1600mm perspective. These final images provide an intimate look at the lunar highlands and the prominent cratering of the southern pole, maintaining sharp clarity despite the absence of motorized tracking or mechanical stabilization. The series highlights the versatility of the Sony a7 III paired with a Commander Optics 420-800mm system. To achieve the extreme reach required for these detailed crops, a Vivitar 2x Converter was utilized, pushing the effective focal length to 1600mm in the latter frames. Operating entirely in manual mode with manual focus, these images were captured without the aid of a tripod or a star tracker. Instead, the photographer ( Myself ) employed a “bracing technique”—securing the camera to the arm—and utilized continuous shooting modes to mitigate the inherent vibrations of such high-magnification handheld work.
