New Year Resolutions / Adventures

Okay, it is a new year. And, there are so many resolutions to consider. Here are a few old ones that I never got around to last year, as well as a few new ones:

1. Try new photographic techniques
a) Use a neutral density filter when taking moving water and cloud photos (longer exposures like a minute long.)
b) Learn and practice stacking photos.
c) Use the Apeman Underwater camera at the beach.
d) Go to Popham Beach and photograph the tide pools, seaweeds on the rocks at Fox Island, Piping Plovers (bring long lens)
e) Photograph Greyhounds / action shots more and close-up glamour shots!

2. Seguin Island with Ethan DeBery. Gulls nest on the island and young gulls can be seen in nests in early to mid-July.

3. River Run Tours around Bath, Arrowsic, Georgetown (through July 28th)

4. Maine Maritime Museum Lighthouse and Nature Cruises (through Oct. 29th)

5. Whale Watching
