Image of the Month: March 2010-Wild American Flamingo

Paul — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 02:20:51 +0000

Sometimes said to be the same as the Greater Flamingo, most taxonomists now regard it as a separate species. Sightings in the Everglades and Southern Florida are rare and many are considered to be escapees from the Hialeah Race track. One specimen banded in the Yucatan Peninsula was sighted in the Everglades, so I like to believe these were birds of wild origin. Regardless, this specimen and 4 of its friends were found in the Everglades in the winter of 2008. The whole trip is written about here. For March you can purchase this image at discounted rates.

Image of the Month: February 2010, Little Sea Turtle

Paul — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:13:04 +0000

I have decided to start doing an image of the month, where I give a little info on an image and offer it at a discounted price for that month. So to kick-start it, this macro of a baby sea turtle is up for February 2010.

This image was made back in August 2009, shortly after sunrise. My friend Rick Gomez had found it trapped in a tide-pool up by Blowing Rocks, in Jupiter, Florida. It is illegal to touch them, but we decided that these little guys need all the help they can get, and so we picked it up and released it at a less rocky area of the beach. I believe about 1 in 100 survive to adulthood, and 1 in 1000 actually get to breed.

I used my Tamron 180 macro, and got down on my elbows and fired away hoping for some sharp shots in the low light. The rough rock took a toll on my elbows, but when you are in the moment, things like that don’t really register. Mosquitoes on the other hand, are pretty hard to ignore. I was lucky to get a handful of shots to pick through and liked this the best. In larger prints you can see the sky and fading sunrise colors in the sea turtle’s eye.

Jim Goldstein started this project last year and I think it is a great idea. Basically, it is exactly as it says. You can read about it here: Buy a Print. So, this year I am participating and just purchased a print from Guy Tal. He has been a big inspiration to me with his images and writing and I have always liked this image.

Rich colors always appeal to me and this one has them all. Image used with Permission. You can purchase it from Guy as well here.

I have decided to offer my open edition prints for sale on RedBubble.com. These will include my flora and fauna galleries. I like RedBubble because they offer quick finished products of high quality with my work on them. The products I am offering through them include cards, prints matted, framed, and mounted, and canvas prints. I have also put together a calendar of tropical flora. This would make a great Christmas present.
