A broad-billed hummingbird photographed in Southern Arizona last week. It was a real thrill for me to see this bird!

A tiny butterfly captured yesterday. I did not intend to start an "Alice" series - I just find these tiny creatures magical and whimsical..

One of our loveliest sights in the US, especially in the fall - Maroon Bells in Colorado.

We just got our first hummingbird of the season today - a blackchin, as always. I LOVE hummingbirds and was so excited to see him. A "painted&q

This is a broad-billed hummingbird I saw last week for the first time while visiting Southern Arizona. It's a gorgeous bird!

Each time I take a photograph, it imprints the memory of that moment - that precious moment - in my heart.

It was raining and foggy - a very dark day - when I took this near Vik, Iceland. The lava rock is covered with reindeer moss, which is very green and

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a butterfly perched on a zinnia! Many thanks to my generous friend Anne for the texture. :)

These flowers really are called popsicles, and butterflies love them!

Flamingos are one of my favorite subjects - so colorful, humorous and dramatic!

Behind The Lens

Location

While my husband was lecturing at New Mexico Tech University in April, I started wandering the campus with my camera. I was quite amazed by the assemblage of geese and ducks found there, both wild and domestic, including one pair of geese with five goslings.

Time

It was mid-afternoon on a sunny day when I began to shoot, and I spent about two hours there.

Lighting

The light was natural and sunny, but not harsh.

Equipment

I was using my Nikon d5300 with a Nikon 55-300 lens attached.

Inspiration

I rarely get to see goslings, so I was quite excited to see this little family. Seeing baby creatures of any kind always inspires me!

Editing

I love Alice in Wonderland and wanted to give this shot a whimsical look. I think goslings are so magical! I played with a variety of textures until I got the look I wanted, while still keeping the shot natural. I also used some "magic lights" - something I found on a scrap-booking site. I did my editing using CC Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I normally carry my Nikon d5300 camera plus Nikon 55-300mm, Sigma 18-250 macro lens, Nikon 18-55mm and Nikon 40mm macro - all equipped with polarizer filters. I always have extra cards, cleaning cloths, battery pack, and a remote shutter release.

Feedback

Check out your environment wherever you are. I didn't know there was a pond in this location until I began walking. I always find something that inspires me because I'm always looking! I looked for opportunities to isolate the goslings and get a chance at a closer shot. I move around a lot wherever I am, looking for different angles and views... and keep my eyes open!
