Nature 2012

[Bobbleton]

Figure its time I share some of this year's finds. The focus in 2012 has really been on birds, but there's been plenty else going on as well. This first round of pictures were taken March to early May.

New Jersey chorus frog

Young northern black racer

Pine warbler

Yellow-throated warbler

Common yellowthroat

Prairie warbler

Black and white warbler

I'll leave it here for now . . . periodically I'll add more of this year's photographs as time allows me.

Those are great! Thanks for posting them.

Hey thanks everybody! Bird photography really isn't my thing, but I've been giving it a shot this year because of a nerdy bird bet I'm involved in. I'll post more pictures to the thread soon.

Okay round 2 . . .

probably worth revisiting . . . I saw an older version of one of these pups this week. Coyote sightings seem to increase exponentially at this site from year to year.

More great shots. What kind of camera are you using?

 

[Jersey Jeff]

I love those photos. My 9 y.o. son drags me out to the PB every Spring to look for amphibians. We have not been as fortunate as you.

 

[Bobbleton]

Thanks again everyone! I'm using an oldish canon rebel and a few different lenses.

If you are not seriously editing them, your photo's have been consistantly in my mind right up there with the best we see on this site.

I try to keep away from much editing with these types of shots. At most some cropping or minor adjustments to get closer to what the animals look like in real life. Ultimately the goal is to edit less and less as time goes by. You can't post-process a good photograph into a great one.

If you didn't edit the rough green photo then it passes my now famous photo of one. If you edited I retain the title.
