    Title or Location: Dobbs Ferry, NY
    I was out to dinner in Dobbs Ferry one evening. I decided to take a walk down to the water and check it out and I completely forgot that I have a few of NYC from up there straight down the Hudson River. However I only had my 24-70 on me. Drove 20 minutes home, grabbed my 200-500, and drove back up. I setup my tripod and snapped a few shots. This one here is a 15 second exposure, that is how I was able to keep the water so calm. I jumped back in the car, drove home to see what I had. Edited in Li

    My wife and I went to Croton Point Park because we read eagles hang out here. Unfortunately, no eagles this time, but I captured this. Leafless trees interest me. They appear as sculptures. I don't usually take photos with the subject smack in the middle of the frame, but for this shot, it worked. Shot on a Fujifilm X-T3 with the lens at 16mm.

    Title or Location: Crane Park, Whitton.
    Taken with Nikon D7500 with 300mm Nikkor lens. Two male Kingfishers possibly adult male and offspring sitting low by the River Crane. Light was low so had to use a high ISO. Because of this the image had to be denoised . It was then cropped and clarity and texture added in Lightroom. I have a nice triptych of them sitting in three different poses.
