Well Bella - you seem like such a sweet girl. Nice to know you.
I LOVE sharing images so if you want more of baby OR more of my work - let me know and I will post some
I know everyone here loves images and I love sharing them!
Here is a little dragonfly I shot the other day. I named him Tommy. I published a coffee table book where I display an image then the story of how the image came into fruition along with the image. The book has done extremely well which I am humbly proud and grateful for. Its a lot like this...
* Naples, Florida USA
* Images are much larger in the book - showing much more detail than seen here (you can barely see the hair on his legs here)
As I walked around the hotel this morning enjoying my Iced Mocha Coffee; watching – waiting – anticipating – on a job… I was becoming restless. Always having my camera worn as a necklace – I came across this flirty little feller. I named him Tommy. He had a confident personality and was curious about the camera and playful around me! Thats always a good thing! Also – I had read an article that I wont mention because I wouldnt recommend that site to my worst enemy but I digress. The article was regarding CENTERING IMAGES can sometimes be a wonderful effect! I wanted to give it a go here. I love the ol’ rule of the thirds but have to admit… sometimes centering an image is not only the RIGHT thing to do but it also gives terrific control in pulling the viewers eyes to the subject!
He landed right in front of me with this expression as if to say ‘Morning, Miss. Im Tommy… hope you have a Kick **** day’! He seemed to enjoy having me around and I certainly wasnt running him off – quite the poser! The morning light – those priceless hours – were working for us! It was right after dusk when the morning was about the turn to full-on day.
Admittedly – I am new to macro since getting the XTi so please consider that when viewing. Also – I dont edit yet but I am starting to play in PS – just havent got it down and feel uncomfortable with images after I use it. So I dont – but soon will. I am going to commit to it. Probably in the way of taking a class at the Miami Community College.
This was actually shot with a TELEPHOTO lens – as that was the lens I had on for nature or any wildlife I may have ran across. Besides – the right telephoto lens can make for a Kick **** Macro lens!

So - if anyone here has interest in me posting my money shots rather than just my ringneck - it would be my pleasure! Just let me know. This place seems to have died a slow death. See if we cant bring some life back into it!
