I don’t often take photos in my own backyard. Mainly because I’m a wildlife photographer and I live in New York. That being said, there are some very good places in the city to find nature. One of the best is Jamaica Bay National Wildlife Refuge, which straddles both Brooklyn and Queens. Jamaica Bay is a bit of an anomaly because it is the only National Wildlife Refuge that is not administered by the Fish and Wildlife Service, but rather the National Park Service. It’s a great place to photograph migrating birds, raccoons, and the occasional reeds with blurred cityscape. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 800, f/6.3 at 1/100th of a second

Hey Michael, I do like switching it up every now and again, but always come back to the wildlife — by far my favorite thing to photograph, mainly because wildlife watching is my favorite thing to do.
