Nice reminder that it doesn’t really matter what you have to take the photo if I don’t know how to take a photo. You can have an old camera or the latest one and still get descent shots if you know how to take the most out of them.

Beautiful! You’ve given a small, often overlooked creature a certain grandeur. Insect portraiture at its finest…

My best photos seem to be the ones I have captured passively on a trail camera.
This Torresian crow seems shocked and outraged at being filmed without consent.

Thank you Danly.
A young Brown Bear emerging from the water after a swim. We were lucky enough to watch it swimming for about fifteen minutes from the midway point between Baranof and Halleck Islands, so I guess its total swim must have been about half an hour. I never realised that they swam so far. It was an incredible moment.

I think this photo I got in Arizona a few months ago of two male Vermillion Flycatchers is my favorite and best shot I’ve uploaded so far!

Thank you! I still kind of can’t believe I got it.

This shot was definitely the most difficult and put me in the most ridiculous position. Crawling around on a glacial erratic and hoping this little guy would get close enough to shove my macro lens in its face. If you know tiger beetles then you know

Oh yeah! They are so hard to photograph.

Yeah! Like this rare Green Tiger Beetle I got. There where lots of them all over the path and still this was the best photo I could get! As soon as I would go in a 5ft radius of them they would fly away. Annoying thing was that they don’t fly away completely, but just fly away a little bit, tempting you to go near again. That was the only day they where there, when I came the next day, all of them had disappeared, except for one poor beetle that had been run over by a car.
