'Morning, Miss - I'm Tommy'

Naples, Florida USA
LARGE VIEW, please – for detail!

As I walked around the hotel this morning enjoying my Iced Mocha Coffee; watching – waiting – anticipating – on a job… I was becoming restless. Always having my camera worn as a necklace – I came across this flirty little feller. I named him Tommy. He had a confident personality and was curious about the camera and playful around me! Thats always a good thing! Also – I had read an article that I wont mention because I wouldnt recommend that site to my worst enemy but I digress. The article was regarding CENTERING IMAGES can sometimes be a wonderful effect! I wanted to give it a go here. I love the ol’ rule of the thirds but have to admit… sometimes centering an image is not only the RIGHT thing to do but it also gives terrific control in pulling the viewers eyes to the subject!

He landed right in front of me with this expression as if to say ‘Morning, Miss. Im Tommy… hope you have a Kick Ass day’! He seemed to enjoy having me around and I certainly wasnt running him off – quite the poser! The morning light – those priceless hours – were working for us! It was right after dusk when the morning was about the turn to full-on day.
Admittedly – I am new to macro since getting the XTi so please consider that when viewing. Also – I dont edit yet but I am starting to play in PS – just havent got it down and feel uncomfortable with images after I use it. So I dont – but soon will. I am going to commit to it. Probably in the way of taking a class at the Miami Community College.

This was actually shot with a TELEPHOTO lens – as that was the lens I had on for nature or any wildlife I may have ran across. Besides – the right telephoto lens can make for a Kick Ass Macro lens!

Having the XTi – anything is possible – that in and of itself pushing my limits and is dramatically broadening my horizons. I am so grateful I chose this piece (Canon Rebel XTi) of equipment and would recommend it to anyone! I sincerely hope Y’all can see some growth taking place in my photography – hopefully even in my horizons – in general – would be killer!

This is an excellent macro – beautifully sharp and the “X” made by the wings draws the eye straight to the body and highlights the way that “Tommy” is clutching the leaf tip. Fabulous!
