Soaring Above Sights
I have a friend named Peter Hamilton. I met Peter online because we work together. I soon found out that he was an amateur photographer and the photos that he shared on Facebook were macro photos [extreme closeups]. That world of insects that we don’t often notice in our every day life. I was incredibly impressed.
And then a guy that Peter knew encouraged him to take photos of eagles. Oh my gosh, the photos that he got! With his equipment, and lenses, those photos made you feel as though you were right there in front of the eagle. It was like you could just reach out and touch them.
And then the owls! I was already beginning to feel somewhat jealous – no, more like envious. And just when I thought I was calming down from THAT wouldn’t you know that Peter started photographing ospreys catching salmon. Let me tell you, you really have to be ready to catch a bird in flight after catching a fish and you have to have the right settings. And Peter does it all on manual settings! Blown away now, totally past the envious stage, and jealousy is no where to be seen!
I am really proud of Peter and his photographic accomplishments. And I see him as turning professional in the not to distant future. I am providing a link to his Instagram account so if you’re interested, or you’re on Instagram, take a look. I think you’ll enjoy what you see!
