Shot through the glass at the Georgia Aquarium the challenge was to keep the camera straight and the rule of thirds in mind when the jellyfish were swimming! I love the yellow and blue contrast.

I seen the "water drop" photos & challenges with 'togs using screens, syringes, wires...loved those but...I wanted to take it up a

Patiently waiting for an amazing shot of a Hummingbird in flight....Numerous unsuccessful attempts over the summer, I finally caught this Hummingbird

To get this shot I had to wade in the water, received a million 'squito bites and keep an eye on the squawking bird beside me.

This crow was eating the corn dropped by the birds off of the bird feeder. The back porch light illuminated his face leaving the rest in shadow.

Standing in shallow water with my zoom lens I was able to focus on the sunlight reflecting off of the birds eye

One of my all time favorite and first shots of a dragonfly perched on a rosebud. I like the smile, the mirrored effect of the eyes and the pose.

Watching my Hummingbirds brings me a true form of delight, learning how to catch them in flight...a whole 'nother story. This shot is great in co

While taking my mum on her bucket list trip to Alaska the bright colors of this totem pole beckoned me to take a closer look. The challenge here was

The look this lizard is giving me is priceless.

This cute little duckling stopped to catch it's breath, chasing after his momma.

Water lily's fascinate me, the precise reflection, position and feeling of standing alone in mid bloom resonated with me.

My goal was to catch a Butterfly in flight while the Monarchs were migrating to warmer climates. It took 3 days, and 100 clicks... no easy feat!

Introducing my fitty fat cat Rampus, he is an adopted Maine Coon, rescued from South Carolina. He loves squeaking at birds, a full water dish and atte

While shopping at Lowes, this Bee completely ignored the camera, it was intensely focused on it's delectable snack. It did not mind me at all.

What I love about this shot is the subtle silk like ripple of the black water in the background. I played with the highlights to have the Cormorant st

Our first frost in the Blue Ridge Mountains adorns the echinacea like diamonds.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the Aquarium in Georgia.

Time

In the Atlanta area for hectic Union business, we choose the Aquarium as our downtime in the evening.

Lighting

The back light was actually very nice, the trick to this shot was keeping the rule of thirds in frame while the Jellyfish swam.

Equipment

Samsung Sm-G 950 U F1.7 1/27s 4.25mm iso 200, White balance was on auto without flash

Inspiration

What beckoned me to take this photo was the brilliant blue and yellow. The inspiration was to capture the sunshine against the sky.

Editing

Boosted up the contrast in PSX, to have the white pop!

In my camera bag

I can get lost in wandering, framing, taking a shot. I normally carry my T8i, with my nifty 50 on camera the two lens my bag are the Sigma 600mm, my Canon 100mm macro. My phone, beef jerkey and water. Hungry 'togs tend to lose patience.

Feedback

With camera in hand always remember to look for Abbi: Above, below, beyond and in between.
