Ten-lined June beetle.

Polyphylla decemlineata

Zale lunata

A nice stroll through the woods, a view across the gorge to the full height of the waterfall, some scrambling around on the banks to get down to this level (a small fraction of the total height down from the top) with friend and dog... A good way to spend an afternoon

Technical writeup

OOF (Out Of Frame), also known as OOB (Out Of Bounds).

This is also a 2D-3D conversion to anaglyph stereo.

Red/Cyan 3D glasses required for viewing.

Grayscale Version and TTW (Through The Window) subject.

Pictures of flowers are so common, I like to make them different in some way, so I often include a bug or TTW or OOF effect. I also tend to keep the flaws found rather than the "perfect" flower speciman.

Tetracis cervinaria

Joshua trees and Cholla cactus light up at sunrise in front of the Red Rock mountains just west of Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas, Nevada. This is a reduction of a 32 exposure pixel-shift image. It's hard to see the detail when I reduce the pixels for posting however I am interested how the pixel-shift process improves color rendition and reduces noise.

The Grand Canyon at sunrise. This seemed like a perfect day and spot to practice a pixel-shift image. The resultant 181 megapixel image has a pixel resolution of 16512 x 11008 pixels before downsizing for posting.
