Went to the insane America Treasure Tour yesterday, here's my writeup: www.controlgeek.net/blog/2025-2-...

Worst #tsapre experience ever at 6am at Terminal 4 JFK. Almost an hour to get through, got marched down a flight of stairs and still had to take my shoes off.

More eagles and a sunset in the Hudson Valley yesterday

A few highlights from yesterday's Idiotarod NYC. Full set on my Instagram at jhuntingtonnyc

Icy Hudson river and an eagle yesterday #nywx

Icy hudson river today

Took a walk around the neighborhood in the #snow tonight #nyc #lic #nywx

I moved to Long Island City back in February, and have gone out to Gantry park every storm we had this year, but could not get a decent shot of #lightning hitting the Empire State Building. I was too lazy tonight to go out in the rain so I shot from inside, and finally got a shot! #nywx #nyc

Found a #snowyowl on Staten Island today. I found the location on my own, and when I stumbled onto the location there were about a dozen respectful bird watchers there. It only glanced in our direction a couple times when I got these shots with a 400mm lens and then a fair bit of post processing.

#sunset over the ocean from Robert Moses State park this evening on Long Island

I posted my favorite photos of the year!

#snow in NYC, from Long Island City, Queens #nywx

The cross on the Wonder Wheel last night in #coneyisland

#snowyowl yesterday before sunset near Oak Beach jetty sitting on top of an empty Osprey (I think) nest. Mostly looking around but did rearrange some sticks in the nest. Flew off after dark. Shot with 1200mm lens from behind a row of trees 100 yards or so away. Stills: bsky.app/profile/jhun...

I'm very honored to be receiving a 2025 #USITT Distinguished Achievement in Technical Production award!

First #snow I've seen in #nyc this winter #nywx

Super hazy in #nyc from all the nearby wildfires. Fortunately we should finally get some rain tomorrow night.

12 years ago today in Rockaway Beach, Queens, at the high tide before the landfall of #hurricane #Sandy, looking west/northwest across the mouth of Jamaica Bay towards the Marine Parkway Bridge

Pretty #foliage looking north to the Catskills from my bike ride in Minnewaska State park today.

With so many people finally coming over from the hellsite, I thought I'd start posting here more. Here's the moon rise last night over Long Island City

Took the real camera (Nikon Z8 with 600mm lens) out tonight to see the comet. I was not able to make it out with naked eye but found a dark-ish spot in the hills up about Pigeon Forge, TN to shoot. Start heading home to NYC tomorrow

Amazing #aurora last night around 715 near Rhinecliff NY

Growing up on the eastern shore I was fascinated by thunderstorms, so it was fun yesterday to do a DelMarVa chase. Got a glimpse of the #severe #storm base, found a dirt road to watch, and it was surprisingly photogenic. I posted a timelapse on IG. Looking west from north of Cecilton, MD. #mdwx

This evening's fun little #storm over #nyc with some #lightning from Gantry Plaza State Park #nywx

I built the #Lego #TuxedoCat kit #21349 and Tuxedo Cat Popsicle #kitteh observed. Full writeup and time lapse on my blog at www.controlgeek.net/blog/2024-6-...

It's my 2023 photo highlights! www.controlgeek.net/blog/2023-12...

A napping #seal off #statenisland #nyc today. Shot handheld with my #Nikon #Z8 and #NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR, most with 2x teleconverter from about 100 yards away.
