Camera Critter #76

You wouldn't know she wasn't my pet when she visits, but it is always great to see her when she does visit. She is Lacy.

The dog belongs to my landlord's grandson, but I was her main influence until she was one year old. Last weekend, she paid me a surprise visit and the reunion was a lot of fun.

Camera Critter #75

Not long ago, I got an email from a woman who works for the Agentschap voor Natuur en Bos (Nature and Forest Agency) in Belgium. She was asking if she could use a photo of mine in a planned exhibition regarding bats.

The exhibition is planned for early next year in Brussels, Belgium. For the showing, they require a file capable of printing at A3 size, or about 16x20 inches. I was glad to supply the agency the file, as at the same time, my father took ill and was being treated in a hospital in Brussels. He is home now and feeling fine, and my way of saying thanks to the good people of Belgium was to provide them the image.

So, if you're in Brussels, Belgium in early 2010 and hear about an exhibition developed for a program called, "Bat Action," drop by and check out my image being shown. If you want to know which images is being used, here it is.

Camera Critter #74

I am always on the lookout for a new critter to shoot, and normally I just shoot them and hope for the best. Then when I get home, upload the images to my computer and start working on them, I decide if I like the shot or not.

This particular shot, was one I lifted the camera, fired off an image and on the second frame, the bug was gone. In other words, I only got one shot of it. But when I looked at the shot, I really liked it.

All I know about this ugly, little critter is it is a member of the Tachinidae family and probably a species of Peleteria. But he sure is a cool looking fly. Besides, I love the way I cropped the shot. 8v)
