Found this little snail and chased it all over the place. It's about half of a man's pinky nail.

Found a whole bunch of these non-black Black Widows.

HA HA! I pulled off the impossible - one shot one kill! Ok, no one was actually killed, but I am that excited. The above shot was only of three of the four children. The problem was capturing the littlest one. She is a little under 2 and completely wiggly and undirectable. However, I decided to...

Here is a shot of a tiny cactus up close and personal.

Disaster... This young man's life I'm sure has just taken an unfortunate turn. Two players were running full charge at each other to get the soccer ball. They did not collide. However, both kids kicked the soccer ball with such force that there was a boom that echoed off of the ball like nothing...

Shot a soccer game tonight. Love this shot, it looks like he is running through the air.

Week 13 - Silhouette

In about 6 hours time I am shooting a BMX freestyler in a bowl. I have no worries about figuring it out, similarly to @kris_2007 having some great tips to shoot wrestling, is there anyone that has tips from actual experience so that I can skip reinventing this wheel. That experience would...

This is my favorite shot of the day and the caption fits so well.

A few more kid shots from today. I love the candid shots you can get when photographing children with a long lens so they don't know the camera is on them. Mom and dad were very happy with the above shot, but especially these as it really captures the real child inside.

Three munchkins.

Marine One arriving earlier in the late afternoon when the President was scheduled to arrive. Hard cropping on this one down to just a 2 inch section.

President Obama arrived in Utah, one of the 58 states ("I've now been in 57 states -- I think one left to go."), for his first and I'm sure only presidential visit. But the plane is cool. Not fun shooting after dark has started settling in, but the D600 did a nice job with noise and allowing...

@coolbus18 Tell me about the book. Is it about technique, just pictures, etc...

@Chayelle Raynox also offers a 5x magnification. The advantage over stacking would be cost, weight, and you're not losing all the light through stacked lenses. Shooting at an aperture of f/64 is already tough on light. However, it's not a criticism of stacking lenses. There are pro's and con's...

And one more... This one was a moving target.

Here is a colorful little bug that stayed real still for me. The moving in of the lens triggered a freeze response.

While laying in the grass chasing ants, and people in the park thinking I'm mental, I looked up and found a super tiny ant on a very tiny macro flower.

Finally got my first bug shot. A really patient Fish Fly that was willing to pose and allow me to nudge and re-position it.
