The following photos were taken with a Canon
EOS 5D. To see a greater variety, more typical of what I do, please click
on Nature Photography 1 in the menu on my home page. The photos on
that page were taken with a Coolpix 990 at a maximum of 3.4 megapixels,
probably not sufficient for publication purposes, but they illustrate my
interests and compositions.
My photos reflect my background in science and love of
composition. They show items of interest to someone looking to see
and understand many aspects of natural history, such as the distinguishing
structure of a species of flower, the sequence of blooming of individual
flowers on an inflorescence, and the splitting of a fruit to shed its seeds.
Even the whimsical sometimes presents itself as a subject, such as the
ghostly face of the "halloween persimmon".
