Red Spotted Shield Bug

I couldn't find a common name for this bug so I just named it myself.
Shot with Canon 100mm f/2.8 Macro, 65mm extension tubes, ring flash, and tripod.

Lynx Spider With Prey

Caught this Lynx Spider having dinner. He/she had just captured this fly and was preparing to dine.

Frog's Eye Macro

I found this tree frog adrift on the chlorine dispenser in our pool. Kept cropping down until I reached this point. I really like the detailed pattern in the eye.

Better shot of the Bluebird.

Well I got around to setting the shot up a little better. I used my 100mm Macro at about 6 ft with Speedlite 420 EX on the hot shoe as fill flash. Turned out a little better. Hope you like.

The bluebirds are nesting and here is one getting ready to enter the box. I set up one of my 350D's outfitted with a 300mm f/4L IS. It was set up @ 12 feet from the box. I put UHF shutter release on and sat on the porch 150 feet away and waited. ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/400sec. Next time I will set up a flash on the camera and a slave flash a little closer to get better exposure of the bird.

Spilled something or other.

I had this idea several months ago and finally got around to doing something about it. I was rather pleased with my results.

Get off my branch!

Got this shot a few hours before the Super Bowl between the Steelers and Cardinals. If I'd had time, I'd have photoshopped a Pittsburg Steeler t-shirt on the sparrow.

Bottles for the Bath

I got out the studio lights to take this shot. These are some colored bottles that we have. I am presently renovating my Dad's house after buying it from his widow. We plan to print and frame this shot and hang it in the master bath. Terri (my wife) will also decorate the bath with these same bottles. I thought the shot turned out well.
