Cottontop Tamarin. Cute, adorable, annoying as hell to try and shoot. This shot was the beginning of learning to sit for a very long time watching small mammals run around. But they run around like crack addicted little insane people.

300d, quantray 70-300mm

Shooting snakes is always fun. It’s dark, the glass isnt always good, and sometimes, they just like to hide. Luckily, they also like to hold still. Shot with a Canon 30D, 70-200mm f/2.8 on a canon monopod.

Just because fire is cool. 300d, 50mm f/1.8

Shot this in Alleghany State Park. I believe it was the night I decided to move to North Carolina. Totally unrelated to the shot, of course. The moon didn’t make me do it. On second thought, I was a bit of a lunatic to do such a thing, in hindsight.   When I picked this shot, I didnt remember anything about it.  Just a picture of the moon, randomly grabbed.   But upon starting this post, a flood of details surfaced. It was taken over Columbus Day weekend, about 3  years ago.    I remember standing on the road in front of campsite #50,  in Cain Hallow.  Took me a little bit of time getting used to the speed at which the moon moves.   You wouldn’t think it to look at it,  but the moon clips along at a pretty good pace.  Took a little bit to balance out the shutter speeds.

Equipment was a Canon Digital Rebel, Quantray 70-300mm, and  Bogen tripod, name eludes me, it’s circa 1977. It’s also huge.
