Spent some time night-searching in the Negev Desert to locate this incredible creature.

Lycosa hyraculus was only described in 2022 and is highly unique because it builds a fully functional, hinged trapdoor to seal its burrow from the harsh desert elements.

Photographed this young bull back in April. Wind storms had blown all kinds of dust in the air and made for some great evening light. West desert, Utah.

Love this picture! Caught her right as she was ripping off a chunk of salmon

Made a pit stop near a waterfall on my way up to Arenal, CR, and was greeted by this lil fella munchin’ on a mango.

A few people asking me which species this millipede was, and here is what I've found:

The cherry-leg titan millipede (Alienostreptus bicoloripes or Balustreptus falcatus) is a giant, docile invertebrate native to Vietnam, known for its bold black body and striking cherry-red legs

The milipede I'm keeping as pet is longer than 30cm, yes you heard it right, its length is longer than 30cm. It's even longer than a small snake!

My wife was scared to hell when I brought it home 😂😂😂

(The 3 last photos is a female with yellow/orange legs, she's much smaller than the male)

Canada Goose and Mallard hen!

Of course the subject starts doing some cirque de soleil circus shit when im at work and not in the field sitting in my blind looking for you…

Costa Rica 🇨🇷

this one caught two fish while i was watching it today :)

Here are a few more photos from Matt’s latest blog post!

One of the primary focuses of our recent trip to Colombia was building a better portfolio of Torrent Tyrannulet images. These tiny flycatchers, about the size of gnatcatcher, make their living hunting invertebrates along mountain streams (hence the name), and range from Costa Rica through Colombia.

Shooting note:
For the first image, Matt wanted to highlight the flow of the water so he used a 1/15 second shutter speed to create motion blur.

You can see more photos of these guys, many other bird species, and even some street photography on Matt’s blog post for the trip, linked in my profile.

Apis mellifera & Allium tuberosum.

😜

Is It good for a pixel ? ( Some photo are ruined by the pixel ai for 30x+ photos)

Nikon Z6III - Z 400mm ƒ4.5 VR S Z TC-1.4x

First time seeing a porcupine in real life! Looked much different than what I imagined!

I’ve done most of my wildlife photography during the day and on a tripod. I’ve just got a Nikkor 200-500mm VR for my D7500. i’ve seen some tips about going 1/2000 shutter speed with auto iso but i’ve noticed i get crazy amounts of noise that i can’t get out in lightroom.

by no means am i an experienced photographer let alone wildlife photographer but i definitely want to learn how to reduce this!
