As an animal lover, nature photography provides me with a fantastic opportunity to interact with and observe wildlife. As my photography style has developed and my selection of hardware has improved, I've enjoyed finding new and amazing details from macro (close up) photography and from longer lenses, the opportunity to observe animals from a distance allows a much-improved ability to better understand them in their native environment. From cows and horses to spiders and butterflies, to crocodiles and iguanas, I try to cast my net wide and find the beauty of nature in unusual places.
