I woke up today and for the first time in quite awhile, I felt like being lazy, I decided in the end to rig my 150-600mm G2 Tamron onto the tripod, in my living room, set up some nuts on the balcony, sit on my ass and wait, with the back door left open! Sure enough by the end of the afternoon I had accumulated over 150 shots. Squirrels, Eurasian Jays, Magpies, Woodpeckers and so on. I was so struck by the moustache on this little guy, it had such military high ranking officer feel about it, having trained in the army and met a few officers, this name seemed appropriate.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

Spotted this tiny grasshopper, perched upon a seeding Dandelion, the Dandelion however was unusually tall, about a foot and a half, which in a fresh breeze and in trying to take a Macro with the Raynox was perhaps the most challenging close up I have achieved. The irritating thing I find with Scene Preset Parameters on the Nikon, such as Macro, is that it always sacrifices the shutter speed, which was hopeless for these conditions, so I did this in Manual and accounted for the focus as well, Autofocus was struggling and sliding back and forth, so thus it was a lucky snap that finally got it.
As they say, never give up!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

There has never been a more greater a time than to start looking after yourself and raising your vibration. Reach for the higher frequency, get off the cigarettes, start eating healthy, get more exercise, ditch the soda pops, eat more plants, do the damn research in every sense and for godsakes, wake up! Ask yourself this, are you prepared for what's coming? Do you even know what's coming? Now's the time!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
PS: Zoom in! ;)

So I've been a bit busy recently, working on some new writing projects, plus last week I celebrated 5 years sobriety, had me a bit distracted but now I am looking to get back to my photography. This butterfly I snapped a few weeks ago, it oddly stayed completely motionless as I got closer and closer with the Nikkor 55-200mm VR1, which was a surprise as they usually fly off right when you have the focus on.
It was something to note that I also saw several other photographers had take very similar captures and so I took it as a spiritual omen, hence the title.
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)

I ordinarily never do this, but as my own harshest critic I was rather unhappy with the former upload...

...this time I slightly brightened the eye area to give this a better central focus, better poignancy, took out the blue of the water so the Coot looks like it's NOT swimming in petrol, raised the warmth of the Ballrush plants' hues and adopted a more organic and realistic tonality. Thus now I am much happier, this version is way better, I am going to keep the other one up, simply to testify that sometimes a bit of review, self criticism and simply a bit more care can go a long way. I am never afraid show my mistakes, it's how we learn after all!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you!
