    PHOTOGRAPHERS
    Chuck Milledge
    Changes made to improve my health and become more active led me to the discovery of a new passion - photography. Wanting to continue to learn and improve, I became a member of the Professional Photographers of America where I'm currently working on my path to becoming a certified Master Photographer. I'm also a member of the North American Nature Photography Association where I've learned a great deal about Nature Photography.

    It's been an incredible journey and I've come to a point where I want to give back and share the incredible things I've learned along the way. In doing so, I hope to inspire the same passion I feel for photography into others that they might experience the joy and fulfillment that photography has given me! I look forward to working with you!

    Chuck Milledge is available for private bookings

    Available most Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm. And most weekends from 9 am - 5:00 pm unless I have a scheduled class.

    Private tutoring available upon request depending on availability. While I specialize in nature and bird photography. I am a generalist photographer and feel comfortable providing tutoring on any aspect of photography including nature photography, macro photography, bird photography, landscape photography, as well as general basic and advanced photography and editing.

    Title or Location: Carrying Home
    While visiting a small park in Florida, I was drawn to a cluster of Great Blue Herons nesting high above the waterline. At least four nests were visible, some already established while others were still actively being built. The herons moved continuously between the trees and surrounding shoreline, carrying sticks and branches in their beaks as they worked to strengthen their nests.What made the experience especially remarkable was the number of birds gathered in such a small area. I observe

    Title or Location: The photo was taken through my porch window out onto our pond in the Lakes of Scarborough, New Haven.
    I've been waiting for probably 20 years to catch this photo. The fountain comes on at 8:45 each day and I've always hoped to catch a goose or duck on the fountain when it does. Usually, I think the vibration of kicking on warns them and they take off. When I saw our pond guy heading for the electrical box to turn the fountain on for the first time this year AND our resident Blue Herron happened to be standing on the fountain, I grabbed the camera and shot a burst when the water kicked on.

    I was looking at taking pictures of birds before the rain came. I noticed these, and I like the King of the Hill and Mom nesting. Used 200mm, 400, f11 at an ISO of 400. Crop a little tighter in Lightroom and process (I shoot in Raw), sharpen with On1 ( I like their sharpening). I like this image because it tells a story. Thank you for thinking of me.

    Title or Location: Columbia City at Blue Bell lofts complex.
    I'm in Columbi City IN. I was walking my dog and came across this ladybug. It caught my eye because of where it was located on the flower. I took the photo with my Samsung 25S phone. I notice the small stuff most don't think anything about it. I love taking fun and beautiful photos as a hobby. Some will be made into cards to be given away randomly as acts of kindness.

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
