Digitally enhanced shoreline
Adobe Photoshop is a very useful tool for exploring artistic manipulation of photos. There area a series of "filters" you can apply to a digital image to alter it in fun ways. Photoshop is also useful for "touching up" that photo that was not quite perfect. |
Leopard Frog
Terrarium staged. Sometimes a small amphibian or insect is difficult tophotograph well in the wild, A small terrarium make a great temporary stage to photograph on. Releasing the animal asap and unharmed is extremely important though.

Limkin
This normally shy and secretive bird of Florida becomes very vocal during mating season. Often it is heard but not seen. It's call is not what most would call melodious! It is also a rare bird due to its diet-snails! |
