On Saturday I made a trip up the Arkansas River at Fort Smith with the Photographic Alliance to try and photograph Eagles. We were able to spot several nests and 4 or 5 eagles along the river. Also I got some shots of a Great Blue Heron in flight.
Great Places for Great Photos
Let me help you to find a great location for your next photography adventure. I will list many lesser-known destinations, as well as the famous "Icon Locations" for photography. I will provide photos (Lots of Photos), location information, consisting of what there is to photograph as well as other information about the destination. I will give costs, maps, directions, contact information, and other essential information for a successful photo trip. I will only post for locations that I have personally photographed to ensure a quality guide to great locations for photography. If you know of great places that are not posted, please send me the details, I may just decide that is a place I need to go!
Greg Disch is a freelance photographer located in Arkansas. Greg specializes in nature, scenic, wildlife, and other outdoor subjects in Arkansas and other areas of the country. Most of the images on this site are available for sale as prints, personal use, or rights managed stock photos.
Greg offers both classroom instruction and in the field hands on photographic workshops. Classroom sessions are normally held in Fort Smith Arkansas, but arrangements can be made to bring a class to your group.
All classes and workshops have small class sizes designed to provide an optimum student to instructor ratio, where you can get the personal attention, you need. Most classes and workshops are limited to a maximum of six participants and will be held with a minimum of only two.
If you are looking for a wonderful opportunity to get personal individual instruction, I do private workshops and classes at a location of your choice, whether doing a location photo shoot, coming to your home or business, traveling across the country on a road trip, or at my classroom. This is a fantastic way to learn digital workflow and be sure that your computer equipment is properly configured for optimum performance.
Yes I did go up the river by boat, the location of some of the photos is only about a mile from the Garrison Ave bridge. The Eagles have left now for the summer and will not return untill fall. Eagles winter in Arkansas and nest, with eggs hatching in the spring and the fly north to avoid the heat of summer, returning to the same nest the next winter.
Forgot to tell you how very lovely your pictures are!
Did you travel up the Arkansa River by boat. I would so much like to take pictures of a Bald Eagle.
