Photos are of the Rock River mostly
Included are my photos of the Mississippi river, Fishing, Lake Erie, and Vacations to various places. These are mostly wildlife photos, but also photos of the locals rivers. I take these photos by drifting down river in a boat while using a trolling motor to navigate treacherous parts of the river.
How I take my photos
My Jon boat has a jet drive for low water because there are so many shallow areas with big rocks. I use an Alumacraft V-bottom on the big water. I fish with my little dog who is a Chin mix. I troll around and drift the Mississippi River looking for wildlife on the main channel and backwaters.
Keeping my distance
If i see an eagle, I will swing wide and go to the other side of the river. I wont even disturb pelicans, I don’t want to have any affect on wildlife at all. I rarely stop and only do for songbirds who don’t mind me at all.
I use Canon gear:
I have been taking photos with a dslr digital camera since 2010, self taught and still learning. I am using Canon R5 & R5II cameras now. I bought my first mirrorless camera in June 2022 and you will see much better quality images after that.
