Oh, can't it be
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should've seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind

Willing participant to practice with flash softbox

Faith is my favorite model...I've taken hundreds of pictures of her and never got a bad one. She can ride with with the best of them.

I noticed this bee wasn't very energetic so I kept an eye on it to see whether it would fly away. When it didn't, I thought that perhaps it was really tired and lacking in energy so I went and got some sugared water. I went amongst the plants and tried not to trample them, then carefully spooned some water next to it. I tried to get the water as close as possible without getting it onto the bee for risk of hurting it. It still didn't move for the few minutes I kept watch over it so I smoothed the water over as close as I could. At last, the bee managed to draw enough energy to make a little lunge into the water. I then left it alone and just been to take a look and it's flown away! :D

My first attempt with a new lens....lots of practice needed!

A young girl plays peekaboo with her younger brother around a park bench inside the Forbidden City, Beijing, China. The family was visiting during the equivalent of Chinese Memorial Day.

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there?

This little guy wanted to see what I was using to take photos of him!

Just a little snowflake and some bokeh :)

cutest little christmas town, all had working parts.

Too cute to keep to myself. Just a great candid shot of a big brother kissing his little sister on the cheek. I couldn't ask for anything better than to just be there to catch it when it happened.

I photo this tree every year, this time he had just put a growth spurt in so he was light green, and the sun emphasised this.

It may not be spooky, but it certainly scares lots of people

One of the only times I could get my youngest to sit still.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmoset

The marmosets /ˈmɑrmɵsɛt/ are 22 New World monkey species of the genera Callithrix, Cebuella, Callibella, and Mico. All four genera are part of the biological family Callitrichidae. The term marmoset is also used in reference to the Goeldi's marmoset, Callimico goeldii, which is closely related.

Most marmosets are about 20 centimetres (8 in) long. Relative to other monkeys, they show some apparently primitive features: they have claws rather than nails, and tactile hairs on their wrists. They lack wisdom teeth, and their brain layout seems to be relatively primitive. Their body temperature is unusually variable, changing by up to 4 °C (7 °F) in a day.[3] Marmosets are native to South America and have been found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay and Peru.[4] They have also been spotted in Central America and Mexico.[5] They are also raised in captivity as pets.

According to recent research, marmosets exhibit germline chimerism, which is not known to occur in nature in any primates other than callitrichids.[6] Ninety-five percent of marmoset fraternal twins trade blood through chorionic fusions, making them hematopoietic chimeras.[7][8]

Does anyone else like the tone of this picture? it was a slightly cold evening in Quito/ Ecuador and I caught this Humming Bird mid-flight. Deciding on this shade of colour due to the atmosphere of the city and the way I felt (Which was a huge sense of distance from home and a new world)

Well this little guy decided to take a break from flying around, and without him knowing it...I was there waiting with my camera, no bird escapes!


Sadly my original RAW photo is buried somewhere in my hard drive so upon request I will find it!

BBSmiles!

This guy was pretty cool to capture out in Ecuador, as his feathers were like sequins, and they were of a very cold tone, he was amoung the fastest to capture and certainly put up a challenge

What's nicer to see in the jungle then the insects having a little catch-up? journeying through the leaves and vegetation to discover that these little guys have taken the time out of their day to relax and enjoy some time together - for the people who are less interested in this manifested story another interesting part about this photo is the transparent wings! a few locals called these butterflies the "Glass-winged butterflies" because you can see right into the background right behind them...not sure if the other insects of the forest minded their little catch up, as I'm sure they were probably being watched.. :)

Okay before anyone asks...this is at a bird show in Ecuador, if that makes the photo a little less impressive then I apologise...to myself for not having a long enough lens to capture the a wild one! but I thought that this pose for the bird is quite an iconic american image if you think about it ... hope you do.

During my time in the Amazon (And even before I went) my aim was to capture a Humming Bird on camera, so when I arrived at the cloud forest and saw millions of them I thought this would be the easiest task ever...I was wrong, as these guys wouldn't sit still! always moving faster then a squirrel on coffee! eventually having my camera mounted on the tripod with my 300mm lens sat still looking at one place...a Humming bird landed right on the branch I was looking at, I had exactly less than a second to click the shutter before it would fly away...so this was a lucky shot that for-filled my aim for the holiday.

This photo was shot in the morning about 9.30 am in a garden. The angular sunlight coming through the red flower was giving a beautiful glow due to hollowness. While I was clicking the picture a honey bee came flying to suck the sweetness and got captured in this perfect position after few clicks.

If you listen closely enough, all creatures have voices, and life is brilliant in all forms.

Sit Blu, Sit.

A Sunday walk, by the Almada City.

Woah.

Always looking inside, outside, under and beneath a subject to find the most interesting pieces to highlight. The middle of this little flower really took center stage.

The little bug was so small, I never even noticed it when I shot this Fushia!

Just a picture of a little daisy with some dewdrops (stratigically placed dewdrops - always carry vegetable glycerin when shooting flowers).

Sometimes the tiniest details are the most captivating for me. I couldn't walk past this without snapping a photo even though the heart in this dying leaf is only an 8th of an inch it caught my eye.

Loving the contrast of the colours here, odd shots are usually my favourites.

This little guy was still enough for me to capture him relaxing before it's morning flight.

I'm not sure what this little guy is, but he's adorable.

This shot of a 100 year old hand carved Chess Board was taken in Key West, Florida. The colors inspired me, and the wide aperture with intentional focus on the central piece brought things to life for me.
