The following day in Florida we went to an Aquarium. There I took a lot of pictures that I’ll share below. This post will mostly be a gallery. I’ll have all the talky bits up here at the front. For the day I took just the 5D Mark II and switched between the Yongnuo 50MM…

Frog. Apparently in Florida (and probably other places but I only know what I see) frogs will climb pretty high up. This guy was all the way up near the top of the front windows to the house we were staying in. So on our way out the door I took a picture. But we…

The following morning after arriving I grabbed my camera stuff and went for a walk around the neighborhood. I knew of the scrub jay from my dad owning property in Florida. It’s protected and if your land has a scrub jay nest you aren’t allowed to build and have to wait until it leaves, or…

Spooky kitty. The above was taken at some point from home. From my new office as it would become. It was just a sun-room before, an extension of the living room that at one point or another had a computer, or a TV with xbox. Just depends on what I felt like arranging where. It…

I was still hunting for new places to go, spreading out further and further. Which is how we wound up going through Friday traffic rush hour up towards a greenway by the Mall of GA. Not my smartest move on the timing. But the end result was a lot of fun, a nice peaceful walk…

I wanted more. More reach when it came to shooting wildlife. I had gotten a bigger lens, the teleconverter that didn’t exactly do what I wanted. It was time for another body, and this time I wanted the crop factor. I had the full frame covered already with the 5D. I had been looking into…

Another inside photography day. This time I was playing around with this cool mirror my significant other brought home, and the lights I had plus some colored gels. The first thing I wanted to do was just get a picture of the cool wolf artwork on this mirror. I really liked how it looked, but…

I was itching to get back out in nature, and most nights I would come home from my job I didn’t like. Flop onto my bed and pull up google maps or earth and start zooming in on any patch of green near me. This was how I found several places I couldn’t get to,…
