Caddo Lake Adventure ’23

Great Blue Heron captured by D6 / 180-400VR
Located in Texas, Caddo Lake is literally like no other place I’ve ever been too. Caddo Lake is a 25,400-acree lake and bayou, a massive “man made” lake containing many wonders and that’s what we’re going to photograph. There are two shots I always wanted to have in my library, the one above and the one below. On our first visit to Caddo Lake, I was fortunate to get them both but I know I can do better. And there are so many new subjects I didn’t even photograph is why I’m going back and want to invite you to join me!

The dates 04-09 Nov, 2023 are for a number of reasons. The first are the birds, fall migrants are on the lake, waterfowl and wading birds galore. The second is fall color blankets the forests lining and IN the lake. The reflections are doing to be amazing! We explore this photo rich environments each morning for four hours with a great captain who has been exploring Caddo for decades. We’re on a great photo platform as we cruise the waters. The combination puts us in the right place at the right time like the sunrise photo above. Notice the water is a mirror and we’re in a boat. That takes skill! And in my mind, this is a two lens Adventure, Z400 & Z24-120. The price includes transportation once you land in Dallas until you’re taken back, boat and captain/guide, education and entertainment is $2750. I am taking four shooters only, all the seats we have on the boat.

Half is do upon registration, the balance is due 30 days prior. You get a sense of the photographic possibilities by heading here. To register, give Sharon a call 406 .240 .3503 (9-5MST). Look forward to shooting with you!

Vero

Yep, I checked it out a year ago and after a number of folks reminded me it was there, I checked it out again. And now, you can find me on Vero @moosepeterson. I’m still learning it, couldn’t even figure out a link to send you directly to my page. Why there? No ads, at least corporate, just what I want to see, and the UI is pretty simple. No copying protection for images you post, runs off app on iPhone / iMac, not a URL so right now, all good. Hope to cya there!

Join Me at Photoshop World Next Week!

I am so honored and excited to be coming back to my 28th Photoshop World and I can’t wait to share with you some really fun and exciting stuff. I have three new presentations for this PSW, one is about the Wild Expedition, one is Masking for Light and the last, well, super special! As you can see from above, An Evening with yours truly!

Telling stories, it’s just what I do! James Taylor sums up my ongoing pursuit the best, “The secret of life is enjoying the passing of time.” It’s how I’ve approached my photography and my style of visual storytelling. I’m humbled to be able to share my journey with you during my presentation, An Evening with Moose Peterson. Join me as we travel together through this marvelous world on a journey that’s just unfolding.

Come experience it for yourself. You and your photography will thank you!

Least Tern captured by Z 9 / 800f5.6 AFS

Its name comes from being the smallest Tern in North American. But no matter how big or small you are, when you’re alone when you expected the gang to be with you, heading out against the storm can be lonely. Might be flying against the wind, you gotta keep flying or, you crash. Progress might be slow, at times none at all. But as long as you keep flapping, you are still doing a whole lot better than falling behind. Keep flapping my friends!

New Game – Find a Tern

Least Tern nestling photographed this morning by Z 9 / 800f5.6

Spent a delightful morning at the Least Tern colony on Duxbury Beach. Nearing the end of its season, there were a couple dozen nestling, most able to fly, still in the rocks where they hatched looking for mom and dad to feed them. If you can find them in the rocks, shot at f40 to pull all the DoF I could with a 800mm, they would “hide” until the parents returned with a fish. Once the parents were inbound, the chick would often expose themselves, coming to life to get the parents attention. Then faster then you can blink, the parent lands, the chick grabs the fish and swallows it. Then the parents are off again to forage and the chicks, hunkering back down until next feeding. It was a great morning pointing the lens at a new game, find a tern.
