The Summer Photography Slump

These past few weeks I had been thinking man I really have not gotten out and taken many pictures, nor did I even feel like going out and getting any pictures.

I had done some engagement photos, which I thought, turned out pretty good. I have also done a few shoots for real estate, but on a few of them they were needing drone photos and getting approval to fly near the airport near Carbondale was proving a problem for some reason.

I was in a slump. Therefore, when in a slump the only way to get out of it is to get out and take some pictures!

I knew there was supposed to be a B25 Mitchell bomber coming to Veterans Airport. On Thursday the 22nd I took my wildlife camera and drove over to see what I could see. I found I had too long of a lens to get pictures on the ground. I did find out when they would fly and was able to get a couple photos of it in flight. That day and Friday.

That had me fired up and there was no plans for Saturday morning. I decided I wanted to go see the Osprey chick before they left the nest. I was up before dawn and headed to the Ina boat ramp. The chicks are very active and hungry which made for good photography.

After the kids were fed, I loaded up, headed over to Gun Creek, and was walking one of the levees to see if I could capture anything there and came up with these.

At this point, I pointed the car toward home and headed down but as I got near Marion, I decided I wanted a few more shots at the B25.

This rounded out my day and it made for a great day of photography! I am still processing pictures, there were so many good ones.
