The blog of Missouri Photographer Chad Davis

Well, I said there would be second post on the Florida Opportunities subject. I’m keeping my promise. So let me start.

In the prior post I stated that I searched for a couple hours for the wildlife in the parks. There are more then a few in Florida. Some you have to pay and others you do not. You can guess that ones you have to pay to get in would have plenty of wildlife to photograph. That’s not always the case. I have payed plenty to photograph the animals in Sea World and have come out with very little quality shots. That’s not to say that you can’t get some good shots, but you don’t get the type of shots that say wildlife. You get the shots that say wildlife in captivity. continue reading…

Hey, I’m back!  The trip was fun, but at times it sure did try me.  I guess sometimes your lucky an other’s your not.  I had high expectations of capturing some photographs of wolves and Moose.  Too no avail, I didn’t succeed in that department.  Of course there were other if not most impressive scenery and nature to photograph.

With the year almost over. I’m sure everyone is excited to start their new years resolutions. I don’t have one yet, but I’m sure I will find one to stick too for 2008.  

With that in mind. I have added a recent image taken here in Kansas City to the new release section of Studio Art. Link here: New Release. It’s a beautiful landscape shot taken in a well known local Park by the Name of “Loose Park”. An interesting fact, Loose Park was the site of the “Civil War Battle of Westport”, the last major engagement west of the Mississippi on October 23, 1864. Where there were roughly 1500 casualties on each side. In the 30’s the 72 acres was used as a golf course. Then in 1941 during a time when the United States was engaged in World War II, it was donated by the Loose Family to the City as a memorial to Sunshine Biscuit Company founder Jacob Loose.
