Taken 08/14 in Central Florida. This mature crane and junior are part of a non-migratory trio I see on the nature trail behind my house almost daily. For those who don't know about their call, I'd liken it to a metallic-sounding rooster! Over time they let me get close with some patience and proper positioning. This was shot with a 70-200mm but they have also given me some 35mm portraits in the past!
Was out walking the dog just before sunrise and noticed some fat dew drops, so I decided to finally set up for this kind of shot. Macro can be a pain, even with still subjects, but quite rewarding!
Even a morning dew drop can be worthy of our interest!
Probably setting times for the gate to lock
That would be pretty badass!

Testing out my new macro lens on an extremely hot day. This guy didn't seem to mind the baking ground and, in fact, seemed quote noble on his perch! I'd like to think this would be his official portrait.

My wife recently got this cool houseplant that has these almost silver leaves. At macro the texture looked even cooler!

Got the bug (heh) for macro photography this weekend and picked up a good lens for it that also doubles as a nice portrait lens. Overall, I found it to be hard but pretty rewarding and cool! I think I'll be looking at the tiny world often.

I think it's a young Sand Hill Crane - it was hanging around with these more mature ones and I bet they are a little family : )

Just moved and getting to see all of these new birds on the land behind me. Takes some patience to get this close but they can be interesting!

Thanks! A lot of 30 sec exposures and patience, hah.

Eating dinner out back while enjoying a nice, hazy sunset when I noticed these guys on track to drift by. Had to put down the fork and pick up a camera!

Saw a lightning bug crawling on the window and thought of a cool shot! Little guy was happy to fly away after.
Possibly because they border the half tones skipped in scale construction. Looks interesting!
I did indeed have this song in mind - this version is even better ; )
That was 100% what I was thinking of when taking it! One of the first tunes I learned on guitar.
Such a pretty place!
Thanks! Was hanging precariously off the side of a dock to get it how I wanted, hah.
Being so early in my photography journey, that really makes me smile! Thanks for the confidence!
