... and that looks like it for 2010. Perhaps not the most productive summer (been awful windy last couple of years) but I think I got a few good ones.

An assassin bug: A plume moth: A firefly: A little leafhopper:

Yeah, but not everyone has scantily clad women lining up to have their photo taken! :p

Thanks I use a remote mounted, diffused SB900 on an RRS bracket like this (SB800 in this photo): It also acts as the master to wirelessly control two SB800s that I use to light the background:

Some detail of Mama Wolf's babies: I think next time I find a wolf like this I am going to go extra close and try and get a "hemisphere" (that aughta creep out the arachnophobes) Waterstriders are incredibly difficult to get a photo of. I have yet to get a pic I am really happy with...

Better yet, fold that $10 and put it back in your pocket. The sensor is not affected by UV light like film would have been. Why add an extra layer of cheap, flat glass to shoot through? If you are concerned about "protection", keep your lens cap on when not in use and use your hood at other...

Thanks guys. Glad you're enjoying them. It is actually kind of cool to have these images to work on mid-winter.

2010 was an extremely busy year for me. Even though I did get out most weekends to capture my images, I never had the oppertunity to process any of them until now. Many more to follow!

Thanks guys. Glad you're enjoying them! Day 7 - Saturday Feb 12 Well, all good things must come to an end and Saturday was our last day. As usual in the morning, I am drawn to the ocean: As I was walking along the boardwalk, this little fellow popped up...

Day 6 - Friday, Feb 11 These little egrets were quite bold and would let you get easily within ten feet of them. They would quite often be seen staring intensely into the bushes and then would wiggle their butts before launching forward and grabbing one of the little...

Cool view of the Luxor. I stayed at the Belagio a few years back - quite the place
