Photo Blog: Day 1

I have always admired people who can do 1-a-day challenges. It has never really mattered what the challenge was, whether it be favorite video game characters or blood spatter patterns; it's nice to be able to check back each day and see what they came up with.

I told myself (and my wife) that I would do a 30 day challenge for photography this month, and since I'm already late on that promise, you can probably hope for many more missed days. Along with the photograph, I will also attach a brief description of what it is, and why I chose it.

Without further ado, day 1:


For day 1, I have chosen a picture I took on April 30 at Chapman's Landing, MD. While visiting my parents this past weekend, my father and I trekked out to the swamp and took some pictures of the local birds. In the case of Chapman's Landing, the local birds happen to be bald eagles. This picture was taken with my father's 400mm f5.6 Canon Lens.
