Tigger and Yuba, mutually grooming each other. This tends to go on for a minute or two, then Tigger gets annoyed for some reason, and hisses at Yuba, then stalks off. Yuba just takes it in stride and wanders off, looking for food.
Screech Owl grooming and bobbing. This one is from last year. Hoping to get a chance to photograph a nest or two again this year.

Capture taken from the wedding that I photographed the other evening. Here I was shooting indoors at ISO 1600 and using the Canon top mounted flash and bouncing with CTO Gel of the wall and ceiling to the left to give overall white balance "balance to the scene, supplementing the interior lighting.
Was taking a shot of my daughter and her boyfriend when the Groom stepped into the shot ;)
It was a fun time shooting this event.
I liked to bounce the flash so it is not directed right at the subjects ... and thus making this look like it was taken with lighting that already was there at the venue. I also reduced the blue color channel to remove any blue cast from the last evening lighting coming in through the windows.
This was my first assignment with my Olympus gear.
Camera: Olympus OM-D E-M5
Lighting: Camera off-flash using a Canon 580 EXII
Triggers: Pocket wizard X and Plus II
One flash at One O'clock.
(Would like to see a BTS, go to my pool).
Taken at Half Moon Bay. There was a photographer down there doing a shoot. I seized the opportunity from up top :)

Poor Brady had to get groomed today. We use a mobile groomer who comes to our house. Brady's dad has to carry him out to the van because he refuses to go. The groomer said Brady was very stubborn and hard to work with today.
Dumb title I know, but this Dicyrtomina saundersi was walking on water and grooming at the same time, many Globular Springtails produce a drop of cleaning fluid from the mouth, they then collect the drop with a leg, the next paragraph is from the words of Frans :0)
Dicyrtomina claws have a tunica, a kind of sheet at the outer side of the claw, closed at the basis and open at the apex of the claw. This tunica is filled with a secretion produced via the mouth. With the filled tunica Dicyrtomina can walk on dry surfaces upside down since the surface tension of the secretion in the tunica acts as kind of magnetic shoes. On a wet surface the tunica is filled with the surface film water. The wetting behaviour can be observed exceptionally well as follows: put some specimens in a small transparent canister and close the opening of the canister with a cover glass (e.g. a 0.17mm thick glass of 18x18mm used in microscopy). Observe the specimen walking upside down on the cover glass wetting his feet periodically.
The Dicyrtomina saundersi then uses this droplet to clean it's face and antennae, it can collect a drop on other legs to clean other parts of it's body, here is an interesting link if you wish to see this in action :0)

I really love the details ie: the colours, and texture of different hands, accessories /jewellery, and henna . The photo has captured the moment of groom putting on the pearl mask with all the drama and intense atmosphere that's just beyond any language. What's his feeling at that moment? What's the feeling of his loving mother and sister?
My photo just won a 'Best of the Day' award on Pixoto.com! www.pixoto.com/awards/5416099734618112
To visit the old marvelous French buildings through out Vietnam is also an invitation to a photo shoot for wedding pictures. I use the word "invitation" loosely as what really occurred is that no one said please don't take pictures.
There were always so many people around the couple usually fussing with the bride and her hair and dress. Because of this, it was actually difficult to get pictures of just the bride and groom. This is a special moment, however. No one is around and I can see the love, can't you? This is a completely candid picture. They were taking a break from the formal poses.
This is the first of a series of weddings through out Vietnam. If any of the brides or grooms would like to have me send them the images I have taken, I would be happy to do so.
