Currently I\u00a0am considering pursuing legal action against a commercial web site in Layton, Utah that has stolen 4 of my copyrighted images and used them on their site.\u00a0\u00a0The\u00a0process of making a legal claim\u00a0is daunting to me, however; I feel that I have to stand up and fight for what is legally mine AND protected by law. The unauthorized use and redistribution of our copyrighted images for commercial gain is illegal.<\/em> The first step is finding an attorney that specializes in Copyright Laws.<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve been super busy lately and the extended daylight hours of summer have meant getting up much earlier to be on location before the sun rises. I will do my best to respond to all of the wonderful comments left on previous posts. <\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday I was out on Antelope Island State Park<\/span><\/a>. The gnats were still biting but I believe our unseasonably high temperatures are beginning to kill off the little buggers.<\/p>\n

\"AmericanAmerican Avocet in sun scorched vegetation – Nikon D200, f7.1, 1\/400, ISO 500, -0.7 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 350mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some American Avocets on the island that are great subjects to photograph, I like how the sun-scorched vegetation has the same colors & hues as this shorebird in breeding plumage.<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
