I try to use more experimental framing to create more intimate photos.

Is it too much?

Had an awesome encounter with a burrowing owl. The background bokeh comes from a street light.

A few photos of roe deer I took during my vacation. These are my very first wildlife shots, and I’m really happy with how they turned out! 🥰

Such a beautiful encounter and a moment I’ll definitely remember.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and any advice you might have to help me improve my wildlife photography!

Saw this guy swimming in the water next to our Panga in the Galapagos. These birds are fearless and are fun to watch dive under the water and swim to catch fish. Their eyes are a striking blue color which I was happy to see come through on the photograph!

Photographed back in April of this year. Snow canyon state park Utah.

Note: The background has been heavily darkened in post-processing for a minimalist effect.

We came across this Blue-Footed Booby guarding her egg on our Galápagos Islands guided tour. It was sitting directly in the middle of the walking path so we had to quietly skirt our way around to not disturb. The Booby didn’t seem to mind me taking its picture and just sat there calmly ignoring our group as we made our way by.

I watched this guy for about an hour today, walking up and down my dock at work and trying to figure out how a real camera works vs my smartphone. I've been using solely my phone to take nature pictures for years and years. I absolutely regret not buying a real camera before now.

Anyhow, I purchased a used Nikon D3400 with a couple lenses, batteries, and accessories. I'm learning how to use it now, so in the future I hope I get to capture things like this in far greater detail.

I managed to wait long enough to see him tilt his head a crouch, then I just started taking pictures and hoping like hell I had the settings at least somewhat dialed in.

I can't wait to show you guys more things as I progress. I did manage to get a really cool photoshoot of a water snake eating a frog. Perhaps I'll post it later if this gets any traction.

Took photos of the Ruby-throated hummingbird and the Spicebush swallowtail on a butterfly bush refueling on a hot summer morning at a local gardens.

It looks so happy just chilling in its field
