"When I was little, we found a man. He looked like ... like, butchered. The old woman in the village crossed themselves ... and whispered crazy things, strange things: 'El Diablo cazador de hombres'. Only in the hottest years this happens - and this year, it grows hot. We begin finding our men. We found them sometimes without their skins ... and sometimes much, much worse. 'El cazador trofeo de los hombres' ... means the demon who makes trophies of men."
('Predator' by NECA)

I was curious what was up there--what is a predator wary of? A larger predator? But I took this photo from inside my car and couldn't look up immediately.

We occasionally see one of these small snakes. They feed on salamanders, earthworms, slugs, and lizards and frogs. (wikipedia)
Sometimes we see one being carried away by one of the hawks like the hawk I posted yesterday.

This is the shot that put my wrist into a support bandage, I was at such a weird angle trying to get this girl face on that I aggravated a stretched tendon in my wrist, but I think it was worth it. This is again with the Tamron 70-300mm affixed with the Raynox DCR-250 at my favourite Spidey-Spot. The flash reflected off the side eyes but left the two top head eyes blank, giving this an additional sinister feel, which I freaking love!
Here's to another week ahead, I hope everyone is doing well and so as always, thank you! :)
PS: Zoom in ;)
Accouplement improbable du Panasonic GX7 avec le Sigma 100-300 f/4 sur trépied, mise au point à l'écran.
Prise de vue équivalente en 24 x 36 mm à une focale 600...
Travail dans WLG sur le jpeg, donc léger le travail... ;-))
One of those captures that's crying out for a focus stack but it was pretty much impossible with this one, perhaps some of the four third cameras with built in focus stacking might be the answer although I can't imagine how they work out in the field.
Updated Predator for another commission and yet again, it's another that puts the old one in my collection to shame. I'd happily say sod the money and keep it, but that'd be mean ; )
Again all Procreate and Fimo on this one and I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Comments always welcome!
Another of my mantis babies, a female I believe, scaling some hydrangea petals.
Since having so many in my yard, I thought it appropriate to do research. The only way to tell the difference between boys and girls is to look at the mantises abdomen, which is the last segment of their body. Females will be wider, for obvious reasons...while males abdomens are narrower.
After a few minutes of watching this little girl here, I noticed another mantis, a male (thinner abdomen), on a higher bunch of hydrangeas. He was completely motionless, flattened out, forearms ready, in total pounce position...and I swear, watching this one. I know I should let nature take its course, but I couldn't help myself, and moved her to another area. There are plenty of flies to munch on, so I'm sure he found another meal ;-)
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Monday, and has a great week ahead :-)
Model: actor/magician/wolf activist Steve Wastell with 3 wolf-pups.
These pups were 3 weeks old when Steve and his wife rescued them and their mom from an illegal backyard breader. Here they are 8 weeks old and a total handful.
The title refers to predators at the top of the food chain. I wanted this shot to be a combo of cute/scary :)
This Great Blue Heron didn't even notice me standing just five feet away from it
because its eyes are on a fish hiding in the water plants. :)

I meant to post this the other day, but just haven't gotten to it yet! A few Predators I have been working on ;)

Well, this build drained me completely. I've always wanted to build a Predator, but thought it was pretty much impossible. Paddy's fantastic version was just the push I needed to give it a try.
So first things first, I think it turned out terrible. :)) At least it sort of looks like an disproportionate Predator.
This definitely is not the thing aI wanted after all the work I put into it. Still, I at least managed to complete it, at times it felt like I never would.
Well sort of, I'd rather treat this as a wip, as I didn't even bother adding details to finish it off... will probably revisit this sometime.
This beautiful Damselfly was taken using my Canon kiss x5 (identical to the 600d) with my Canon 100mm macro lens.
Damselfly (suborder Zygoptera), any of a group of predatory, aerial insects that are in the order Odonata. Damselflies are found mainly near shallow, freshwater habitats and are graceful fliers with slender bodies and long, filmy, net-veined wings. Damselflies are generally smaller, more delicate, and fly weakly in comparison with dragonflies (suborder Anisoptera).
Their colors can be stunningly vivid. Wingspans among the 2,600 damselfly species range from 18 mm (0.71 inch) to about 19 cm (7.5 inches) in Megaloprepus caerulatus, a giant damselfly of tropical Central and South America.
Damselflies can usually be distinguished from dragonflies by their thinner, needlelike abdomens and by the way they hold their wings when at rest.
With few exceptions, damselflies hold their wings vertically and together, rather than horizontally and spread apart.
Also, the four wings are almost identical in size and shape and in the vein patterns. The large eyes of damselflies differ from those of dragonflies in that they are always widely separated, rather than close together or touching each other.
