Just a dad with an interest in photography, making music and general visual creativity
Ah, wasn’t aware Lemmy was saving the whole file uncompressed. I’m linking directly to Flick so I figured they were hosting it all. Not familiar with the architecture on this platform. You would be surprised as this camera body is actually not the high resolution one in this lineup! Thanks for the info.
Sandhill Cranes at Golden Hour
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.film/post/590446
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!
Being so early in my photography journey, that really makes me smile! Thanks for the confidence!
Metallic Starling at Nest
Taken 08/12 at Disney's Animal Kingdom (sorry - not traveling to Asia anytime soon). Quite fitting as someone mentioned to me these birds look like the henchmen for a Disney villain! They build interesting hanging nests and I find their sheen and eye color to be eye-catching.

Tiny Sunrise
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!
Tiny Sunrise
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.

Leaves of Silver
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 : )
Venturing Out

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.
Catching the Sunset

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!
Lightning in a Bottle

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!
Old Growth
There's something nice about walking around the woods on an overcast day after the rains. A bit calmer and I find myself paying more attention to little details like these guys.
Housing Shortage
Visiting a new park today and saw these two snakes wrapped around each other in the back of a dimly-lit case. Never know what you'll see in those little educational centers...
Butterfly in White
Walking the trails and this guy settled down right by me. Liked the colors but I ended up liking the details even more!
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.
Black Hole Sun
Interesting sunset tonight on the lake - reminded me of a black hole with an accretion disk and all the clouds swirling around it.
