I got by casuality on Your Website – You make very nice pictures. Quality of pictures does not depend on professional
skills – its more intuition, feeling and good taste. Pictures on animals are made with patience and its the lot one makes, where one has to pick out the best. I wish You would make pictures of rare animals of which only few good pictures exist.
I am private biologist in Berne/Switzerland and have made myself expert on caecilians (strange footless amphibians) and of caecilians there is no true good picture made ever. As they have a shiny, wet skin (glancing), colours are mostly not vivid and as they move – pictures are extremly difficult. I did as well not manage till now a really simpathetic photograph – in 20 years.
Hi Daniel,
thank you so much for your kind comments! As much as I would like to take pictures of rare animals there’s just not much of them here in our place and as much as I would like to travel to different places to take pictures of them it is just not feasible for me.
I have not taken pictures of caecilians but I’ve read that one cheap tool one can use to take better pictures of them is a polarizing filter.
Again, thank you for taking time to view my website!
I am also an Ohio native, from Cleveland, and am taken by your photography. I am an artist and have been getting better at my craft by painting my depiction of beautiful photography. I have a feeling that your photographs will give me ample inspiration.
Gloria, thank you so much for your kind words. They inspire me to take better pictures, and to learn more about the art of photography. It makes me very happy that somehow my photography provides inspiration to other artists. Would love to see your paintings!
I love your pictures. I too am a trigger-happy-camera-addict. I love your style in photography. Do you have a facebook account? Add me jkd.w@hotmail.com.
