An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly pausing for a moment before it dives deeply into the Calx of a Hosta flower to gather a drop, or two, of its sweetness.

From a shot of a building in the town near us. Although these specific ravens in the artwork are png elements, the town is home to a large number of ravens. Many of my previous works feature real town ravens, and many more will hopefully follow in the future. If our national electrical grid holds up, which sadly, is doubtful. But one can always hope.

Being out for the morning dog walk one day last week when we had snow, I had my camera with me, but of course no tripod. But nonetheless I thought I’d try a quick panorama in order to get the whole picture, as I didn’t have a wide enough lens with me.

Doing a pano handheld obviously has limitations, but it can deliver reasonable results in the right conditions.

I guess this must be the most photographed item in the universe

So yes why not

This could be definitely the one that hit the number I just wrote

Or maybe loads of 0's more

I don't know why it's so awesome to take a photo of the moon, but it gives me the awe feeling every time

Maybe it has something to do that we all actually share the moon

I'm looking at it

You are looking at it

Wherever you are

I guess this sentence did something with me too:

"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind"

I'm pretty satisfied with my handheld shot here

Viking muscles is the thing

Handheld HDR Panorama

I'm amazed how this turned out for how dark it was.
