People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

    On Saturday , November 2, around 9am, this Snowy Egret was wading in the salt marsh during very low tide. He was shuffling his pretty golden slippers through the mud to stir up tiny delicacies, often shrimp. Taken with my Sony a9 mirrorless plus. 1.4x teleconverter, 1/2000s, f9, ISO400, 840mm.

    This is one of the pair of eagles that return to the same nest each year. The tree this one is in is the tree they hang out in when not nesting. It?s so exciting to see these majestic raptors and we always hope to see one or two eaglets before they leave in the spring.

    As I was walking on the pier, returning to my car, I saw this Great Blue Heron sitting in the rail. I began taking pictures at a distance, taking a few more steps, and another picture, in case he decided to fly. He had no intention of flying even as I got closer and closer. I took this picture, then walked slowly by without looking at him. When I got a few feet on the other side, I turned to find that he had not moved at all. It was a very hot July day.

    I first spotted this juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Heron as it flew to a small pond of water on the beach. I turned to see some other birds and then turned back to see this bird had flown to the log. I was happy to get this shot because in an instant, he had moved on.

    A sweet family asked me to take their pictures at sunset on the west end of Dauphin Island. I turned around and snapped this bird-shaped rain cloud. Pelican? Hummingbird? Can?t go wrong with sunsets at the Sunset Capital of Alabama!
