Animal Photoshoot- Lucien Deal

While the photo itself is very much not of the highest quality I feel a need to have this as my submission to the wildlife blog assignment. I don’t know what my shutter speed, ISO or any specific details of the settings on my blurry broken iPhone camera so unfortunately, I cannot tell any details regarding that. While I could have taken a picture of a duck, deer or some other creature that I see everyday walking through campus this felt so unique and lucky that I had to rush to get a picture of it. After getting food with my friend at Fairhaven dining hall I walked back to my dorm and right as I got to the entrance an owl of some sort (unsure of the species but fairly large) flew right over my head and then perched over on a nearby tree. I was able to capture these two very blurry at best photos of the owl before my phone had died. After a crowd of 5 Ish people gathered to see it, the owl flew right at us and right over my head again past my dorm. With the photo being incredibly shaky, dark and blurry I don’t have a lot of things I could point out as great qualities in the photo.

Week 2: Nature in our neighborhood-Amanda

 This week, we focused on capturing images of animals in our neighborhood while reflecting on the types of wildlife that inhabit the area. Observing and photographing these creatures provided a fascinating insight into their behaviors and movements, making me appreciate the subtle beauty of local wildlife.  One of my favorite moments was photographing an owl, a shot from a previous quarter that I was particularly proud of. I managed to capture the bird’s full wingspan in Cornwall Park with a synchronous series of about five images, showcasing the power and grace of its flight. The way the owl’s wings stretched across the frame created a striking visual, highlighting both its size and the intricate details of its feathers. This experience reinforced how rewarding patience and timing can be when photographing wildlife, especially birds in motion.  The other two pictures I captured were of deer, which, while not as dramatic as the owl shots, presented their own unique challe...

 Nature is all around us! A camera is an incredible tool that not only captures what we see, but helps us to see more. When we pick up a camera we find ourselves on the spectrum between art and science. While our cameras objectively capture light, we decide where to point them and why. If a picture is worth a thousand words then an image can make valuable contribute to our understanding of an organism, inspire people to action, or make  someone smile. This blog will be a place for us to share our photos and our reflections about them.

Water Photoshoot -- Contessa

  Water is what drew me to Bellingham. I was raised in Pennsylvania, a landlocked state, and while some count Lake Erie's 77 miles of Pennsylvania shoreline as a vague exemption to landlocked-ness, I do not. My entire life, the closest ocean was at least a full day's drive away in New Jersey. Those in Philadelphia had the luxury of making that drive in under two hours, but Pittsburgh is closer to the Midwest by a long shot, and I was significantly closer to Indianapolis than the ocean.  My mom was born and raised in University Place, Tacoma with constant access to the water. If it was nice out, she went to the water. If it was a special occasion, she went to the water. If she had free time or needed to breathe good air or had any excuse at all, she went to the water.   When she married my father, he brought her to Pittsburgh, where he grew up and where starter homes were affordable for a freshly married couple in graduate school with plans to raise two children. She was b...
