Steady and Beautiful

How is everyone doin' these days?

I am back and I have some interesting photos to share with you all. But first I am going to tell you about why I have taken these pictures and how you can take ones just like these as well.
If you ever want to know how to take a great picture or what to do to get so close to animals, insects, or anything without scaring them off before you snap the picture, I am here to help. Just leave a comment at the end of any of my posts or e-mail me at :

I know many people get tired of the same pictures all of the time and of the same subjects, but sometimes the way a picture is taken, the angle of the photograph can make all the difference.

No angles in these pictures I am about to show you, but being steady and quiet is the trick.

On vacation I, of course, took my camera with me and took pictures of what I wanted to preserve as memories. Yes my memory may be good but I wanted to share my experiences with others and one day show others where I have been.

But these pictures I am about to show you are cool and colorful images.


SEARCH for the BUTTERFLY!
It was very exciting when I got this shot. I am still trying to get a picture of them in flight but it's a little difficult to not get a blurry one. Maybe one day.
Anyways, the leaves in this picture camouflages the butterfly but the sun brings it out of its hiding spot. He is so cool and the sun lets you see his shadow on the leaf he is standing on. The typical butterfly in a cute picture.
 
 
Dragonfly's Big Eyes.
I have never taken a picture of a dragonfly this close up before. I was out on my kayak and of course when you are on a lake, you see them near the top of the water near the land a lot. But when he landed on mine, I tried to take out my camera and take a picture before he flew off. I was fast but not to the point where I would scare him.
That is the thing when it comes to insects: you need to be fast, but still as well. Don't make any noises that can scare them off, but try your best to focus the camera on the creature. All of them are unique in some way, even though many of us don't like insects.
 
 
 
Animals-all animals-are cute, interesting, fuzzy, soft, you want to hug them, squash them, set them free, or just observe them. All of them have a purpose, even if you think some may be a nuisance or in our way.
I agree that insects should stay outside and not in your house of course. Some are great for your garden: like worms, roly-polies, bees, etc. Others are just in strange places like rats, mice, snakes, and they should be in the places where they do belong. But the weather is confusing some of these animals and they end up being in the wrong places and away from their habitats.
 
Lets keep the animals alive in their safe habitats, in the woods, the wild.
And of course observe certain ones from a distance, like hippos, rhinos, snakes, etc. :p
 
 
Hope you all enjoy the ending of your summer! Let me know what you have seen this summer and what pictures you have taken. Every picture has a story, even the ones that were taken by accident.

Flowers Blossom

Even though I may be a writer, I love photography as well. I like how some pictures are at an angle, may be black and white with only one color showing, or seeing rain falling down on your window. But one thing that many people look at, especially if they are with someone special, is flowers. I take pictures when I can, and whenever I see one, I take a snapshot of it. No picture is 100 % perfect, but to me there is always potential in a picture.     In this photo you can clearly tell that your focus is more on the rose itself while the stem and its leaves are blurred out into the background. This is what I think seems very cool because you can pay more attention to the detail in the rose, but you can't help but wonder what-or where-the green stem is coming from.     Even in a black and white photo, it is still beautiful. Your eye travels to many different points in the picture and you can tell that-in the photo-these flowers are a part of something big...

Sky at 6:30 AM

 It is hard for anyone to wake up at six in the morning. Some people are used to it. Two days out of the week I do because I have to get ready for school. This is what you are missing if you do not wake up early.      This picture you can see how the sun brings out the clouds and the details in them. The different shades of blue are really cool because you can see the different textures of the clouds as well.   The sun behind the clouds brings out the smaller clouds that people do not always see. You can also see the clouds in more detail in the distance as well.   This is the all around view of what the sky looks like. You can see different shapes in the clouds as well as how one cluster of clouds are forming a shape and it looks like a sink hole but its the opposite.        You may not want to wake up at six in the morning (neither do I), but it is beautiful to see what the sky looks like. If you can, maybe wake...

The Flower Life

Yes, I like flowers and taking pictures of them. I have not posted anything in a while because I have been busy and I'm working on my books. But that is not why I am creating this post for you today. A flower has many different forms and shades when it is growing and when they begin to die. All the way to when they fall to the ground. These pictures that I am going to show you are a little bit different then what I have originally shown in the past.   I love this picture. It shows how the petals of the flower start to come undone and it gives you more to see when it comes to the inside petals of the flower. It is very cool. You can even see the middle of the flower and how the shading gives off the depth of how big the flower really is.      The picture to the left is of a flower that is beginning to die but it is taking on a different approach of the situation. The petals are not starting to fall off, but are moving to one side of the flower. If you l...
