Animals my daughters and I have seen in person

Below are some of the various animals I have been able to capture with my camera. I hope to put together a photobook/scrapbook for my children with all the animals so that they can use it to learn by for school and to foster their love of animals.

I will continue this series with the other animals in blogs to come.

Work on Redbubble.com

I have posted a lot of my landscape work and animal shots on Redbubble.com for review and possible purchasing. I think the quality of Redbubble speaks for itself. I myself have ordered a couple of cards from my photographs to see the quality in person as well as a print from an artist I admired. I received my merchandise in a quick efficient manner and was very pleased all around. If you are interested in checking out my portfolio on there go to this link- http://www.redbubble.com/people/garrityphotog

Thank you for your support!

Model Photography

Introducing Megan Sheley. This is Megans Model Mayhem website if anyone would like to contact her for a photoshoot, etc. http://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=677877



The first two shots were taken at Riggs Hill in Grand Junction, Colorado http://protophoto.com/subject.html?subject_id=342



This shot was taken on Main Street in Grand Junction, Colorado




This photo and the head shot below were taken at a duck pond in Grand Junction, Colorado

These are some of my favorite images from a model session I had last weekend with an upcoming model who wanted to start her portfolio. I have not done a lot of model photography but I do have to say that it is very challenging when you are trying to shoot outdoors and have to worry about light and location and how the model will feel. http://www.prleap.com/pr/51459/

That is a good website to give a few tips when going out on a model photoshoot.

I have to say I have a lot of respect for model photographers who have done this type of photography for a long time. Thank you for viewing my blog and come again!

Ducks, geese, birds, oh my!

Another female mallard prancing around trying to get the attention of the males. http://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/mallard.htm


Here is a picture I took of a female and a male mallard duck. Another website that will tell you more about these creatures-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mallard



This graceful looking pair really caught my eye. They stayed together constantly and decided to honk at another goose during this session . Here is a website that will tell you more about canadian geese- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_goose

Thank you for visiting my photo blog! I will be posting more shots soon.

Birds of Spring

This is a lovely mourning dove that was on my roof this past week. Here is a website that can tell you more about this graceful creature http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mourning_Dove .


This is a small finch that came to visit yesterday. http://www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/House_Finch.html



This is a beautiful robin that has visited a couple of times. Here is a website that should tell you more about these amazing creatures. http://http//www.birds.cornell.edu/AllAboutBirds/BirdGuide/American_Robin.html

I really enjoy photographing birds. Especially in the spring time as they are all out and singing different songs. I thought that I would start this blog with sharing a couple of my recent shots of three different birds that have visited my house over the past month.

Here is an information website that tells more about the basics of bird photography. I am no professional so consider me learning right along with everyone else. http://www.birdsofoklahoma.net/BirdPhotoBasics.htm

I hope to make my blogs on here informational as well as a place to put my photographs as I travel around the area shooting pictures of the beautiful mountains, animals, birds, people, models and more. Thank you for coming to visit!
