You’ve Heard Of Wildlife Photography But Have You Heard Of Wildlife Slow Motion

You’ve probably thought this blog was dead. More likely you forgot about it entirely. But its two in the morning and I have this video of some slow motion wildlife that I randomly took throughout the year. It is mostly a my-camera-has-this-feature-so-why-not sort of deal so please don’t expect some planet earth type of stuff. …

The Best Ducking Experience I Have Ever Had.

Leave a Comment / Legacy / By Nicholas Hinnant

There is not a lot of story to this photo session, but it was quite an incredible experience regardless. At a small park in Ypsilanti Michigan there was a very large gathering of ducks, with a lot of Mallards, some Bufflehead, Greylag Goose, a couple of Wood Ducks, and the reason for the visit, a …

My First Tri-X Experience

1 Comment / Legacy / By Nicholas Hinnant

As I focus my time more and more on wildlife photography, my film usage has slowed down by quite a bit. I had five rolls saved up from about 2 month’s worth of shooting – two of them were the black and white classic Kodak Tri-X 400. B&W is still my favorite film medium, but …

Snowy Ducks and Wintertime Luck

Leave a Comment / Legacy / By Nicholas Hinnant

I went out Monday morning dressed not unlike Randy from A Christmas Story. The temperatures themselves wouldn’t be too bad, about 15°F rising to 35°F later in the day, but I knew that an incoming heatwave was bringing a half foot of snow. I set my sights in on my favorite local county park, and …

Astrophotography is not usually my focus and I only occasionally turn my camera towards the moon, but I knew this was my only chance for a couple of years. I unfortunately forgot to get a photo …

Friday before work I made my way to three different birding spots along the Detroit River. It had just snowed a fresh inch and I was very curious to explore around. Pointe Mouillee For being my primary objective I did not see very much out here Friday morning other than some haziness, lots of tracks, …

One Cold Monday Morning

Leave a Comment / Legacy / By Nicholas Hinnant

I got up early monday to distract myself from an upcoming interview. Late as always, the 40 minute drive south was a battle against the ever-brightening horizon. By the time I had arrived, it was too late to capture both Venus and the pre dawn light as I had previously planned. Once I had arrived …

An Elusive Fox

Leave a Comment / Legacy / By Nicholas Hinnant

For the past few weeks I have been trying to find a red fox in a local county park. I have come across it three times now – once while walking, once while sitting and waiting, and once when I came across it sleeping. Each encounter was over before I knew it, ending with a …
