A few more of the thousands of photos I've taken.
This site won't accept these full sized. To see what they really look like you can view my photos on flickr at;
https://www.flickr.com/photos/kegriver/
My flickr photos are under a creative commons license which means that anyone can download and use them for their personal use but they may not be used for any form of financial gain without my permission.
Some of these photos have been published and I've allowed one recording studio to put one of my photos on a CD cover.
I hope you enjoy them. If you have any questions I'd be glad to answer them, but it may take a while for me to see anything posted here. I don't drop by very often.
So here's some more.
Coyote in the Wheat.
Surprised Moose
Wood Lily, this is the wild equivalent to the domestic Tiger Lily.
Ceder Waxwing, hunting insects. I thought that was strange but they really were, like a fly catcher.
Norther Bronze Darter. Don't ask me why they don't call it a Dragonfly. I don't know
Great Gray Owl. Our largest Owl and a frequent visitor in winter around here.
Snow Fence
A cold day in Hawk Hills.
Pine Grossbeak at our feeders
Spruce Grouse.
A handsome fellow
Wild mink
Chipmunk with a face full of cherry stones.

Feel free! Photographer here too. We all just post some pictures either we took or we just like, here and there I like your bird pics the best. Where did you take those pictures?

Hi fellow pohotgrapher. Not fellow as in male! Birds are my favorite but I like all nature. I like to learn about, watch, photograph and as much as possible, share space with all wildlife. I like to call myself a nature nut.
The complexity, the beauty, the verity of God's creation simply amazes me.
All of my those photos were taken close to my home, in Hawk Hills Alberta Canada. That's in the northwest of the country.
We are about 600 km north of the capital of the Province, Edmonton.
I had a bunch of photos on Google Earth but the site that hosts them is owned by google and if you open a new account with any of their services they delete your old account and all photos uploaded through that account. I didn't know that and opened an account with a site that I didn't know belonged to google.
They deleted all of my Google Earth photos because of the new account. I liked having them there because it allowed people to see exactly where my photos were taken.
All my photos are of wild birds and animals. None are in a zoo or in any way captive. Only the Birds at my feeders and the Deer that frequent my yard are in any way habituated to people.
I use a Cannon XSI with a Cannon 100 - 400 lens. I have a Manfrotto tripod, a 2x teleconverter and a remote release but no other special equipment.
I do plan on building a floating blind to use to get close to birds on some of the local water bodies but right now I am in the process of starting my first business so I don't have the time or resources, yet.
I do photography where ever I go but I don't travel a lot. I've made a couple of trips south into prairie country in the past couple of years and two to Prince Rupert on the Pacific coast, plus a few to the Mountains of British Columbia. Two years ago I made one trip to Ontario in central Canada but all told I suspect 90 percent of my photos are taken within 100 miles of my home and probably 60 percent within ten miles.

I don't use much equipment most of the time either. I don't even know what a teleconverter is, lol. What I use on most days is my Fujifilm (SL300) camera, my Samsung tablet (depending on the kind of shot I need or effect I'm going for), and some extra batteries in case the one in my camera dies (which is likely to happen lol). I only really use my tripod for self-shoots (not to be confused with selfies, which I just use my tablet and no tripod for) and fireworks. I have lighting equipment, but I only use that for product photography nowadays. I like to use natural light for as much as I can.Do you like editing your photos? I know a lot of people who love taking pictures, but hate the editing phase. I actually love both phases. Sometimes I take a picture with how I'll edit it/what I'll use it for in mind. Other times I see that afterwards.
I don't travel far a lot either. When I do travel, it's usually a road trip, so I take pictures from the car/bus too (gotta love window seats!). But I also take a lot of pictures at home and in my neighborhood.
Today I'll add a few of my most recent photos.
I could fill dozens of pages with my photos but that wouldn't be fair so this will be my last contribution. At least for a while.
Quiet possible a long while. I waiting on a call to go to work.
So here are some of my recent photos.
Eagle on a lighthouse, - Prince Rupert British Columbia, Canada
Mountain in the BC interior.
Moose tormented by biting flies. - Rainbow Lake, Alberta, Canada
One legged Sandhill Crane, - Hawk Hills, Alberta, Canada.
I don't know what happened to it but it looked completely healed and relatively healthy and it seemed to have no trouble getting around.
Sundance sweat lodge on the Alexis Reserve north of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
This is the Nakota Sioux Nation
Western Grebe on Lac Ste Anne, - Lac Ste Anne, Alberta, Canada
Wolverine. - Hawk Hills, Alberta Canada.
Not the best photo I've taken but it was such a rare opportunity I had to take what I could get.
Pronghorn Antelope, - Provost Alberta Canada.
Locals call them Speed Goats because they can reach speed of 55 miles per hour for short distances. And maintain a speed of 35 miles per hour for miles.
Incoming. Speckle Bellied Geese landing in a field for an evening feed. - Hawk Hills, Alberta Canada.
Thousands of Geese come through here every spring and fall.
Lazy Bear. - Hawk Hills, Alberta, Canada.
This is a brown bear, a color variation of the Black Bear, not a different species.
Well that's enough for now. I don't want to crowd out anyone else.
Hope you enjoy them.

I'm not happy about the google earth thing but not much I can do about it, aside from not posting any more there.
flickr allows geotagging so the location can be seen on those photos I have geotagged in flickr. It's just not as handy a google earth was.
I've done a few weddings but don't like doing them. Other then that anything goes. So far the only food items I have photographed are wild foods we've collected such as mushrooms and berries.
I only edit my photos to remove unwanted background or objects and then only the minimum necessary. I do however shoot in RAW format so I have to convert my photos to .jpg to post them and I have to resize to a smaller overall size for bandwidth consideration. In as much as is possible I do as little editing as possible to achieve the desired results. Namely, compact enough for the intended use and uncluttered as possible.

I got a rather unique photo of that Antelope but I'm not sure it would be well received here.
It stopped for a bathroom break and since I'm not bashful about science I continued to take photographs.
I got the same sort of photos of a Cross Fox. To me that's just part of nature, part of God's great creation, but some would say it's inappropriate.
Animals aren't at all shy about such things so I don't figure I shouldn't be either, when they do it. Humans are another matter of course. But I am a father and a grandfather. I've changed a few diapers in my time. It doesn't bother me.
I don't post such photos out of respect for others feelings.
I have another class of photos I don't normally post online. Photos of sick or injured wildlife. Again, to me that is part of life and nature but I know it bothers some folks so I don't post them either.
The Sandhill Crane is an exception because it is all healed and seemed to be doing well. It's somewhat of a story of hope.
