snolly50 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Thanks. Here it is uncropped: 8761-tall-thistle.jpg Wonderful, I was curious about the blue gradient of the background. It certainly evokes the sky. Now I see the source, clever. This is great example of a good image being presented in a superior manner via a little post-capture attention.

Al Dente Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Here are a couple frogs. The first is a Northern Cricket Frog (Acris crepitans) that is well camouflaged. The second is a Green Treefrog (Hyla cinerea). These are taken with a small point and shoot camera. I only use small cameras outside that I can fit in my pocket and not worry about getting wet or muddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 This probably doesn't count as nature photography because they are all staged shots but I wanted to share this. Around seven years ago I found an egg mass that looked like spotted salamander eggs. It was unusual for two reasons, it was early December and in this area spotted salamanders don't normally lay eggs until January and February. The second odd thing was it was in a creek that had fish. Normally spotted salamanders won't lay eggs where fish live. I took the mass home to see if I could hatch and raise them so I could properly identify them. Here's an egg after a few days of developing: And here's one in the larval stage after hatching, the second picture is the same individual on a wet towel after transforming from larva to adult. Here he is after getting his adult coloration. That was over seven years ago. He has grown over the years and enjoys feeding on camel crickets and worms. I need to take some more recent pictures. I have since raised marbled salamanders from larvae. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
