Brown Thrasher

I captured these images of a Brown Thrasher last June on a gloomy evening about dusk. It had a baby just out of the nest and was very displeased with me. Evening is a great time to observe birds, but unfortunately the light is often poor for photos. Getting the “stare down” from mama thrasher definitely worked in my favor for these shots.

The old St. Joseph’s Hospital in Ottumwa, Iowa.

I used the Wheeler Lightroom preset, BLACK, as a starting point for this B&W conversion.

Daddy Longlegs Super-Macro

January 7th, 2013 by Ethan

_em_2790-19.jpg

A full-frame photo of a daddy longlegs shot with my 1D3.

Sigma 150mm 2.8 EX Macro + Sigma 2x TC + 68mm Kenko extension tubes and Sigma EM-140 DG ring flash.

Handheld. It’s not possible to focus and breathe at the same time with this setup.

I don’t think I ever saw the eyes of a daddy longlegs before I shot this. Notice the leg stubble.
