Little fishing boy photographs

These are some photographs of my little boy in a fishing outfit.  He is just under 6 months old.

Water Drop photographs

These are some water drop photographs I shot in 2012 or 2013.  most of he water drops were staged using a spray bottle or a ziplock with a hole.  The flowers were at Gussie park in Farmers Branch Texas just outside of Dallas.

I used a Canon Mark 5D II camera with a Canon MP-E 65mm 1x-5x macro lens.  This lens will capture extremely close shots.

These are some of my favorite water drop shots.  I have done quite a few.

Prairie Kingsnake photographs

I caught this Prairie Kingsnake in Troy Texas in April.  Prairie Kingsnakes are generally very docile snakes.  This snake did not bite and was not aggressive.  These reptiles are found in most of the southern states.  Prairie Kingsnakes eat mice and rats and will eat other snakes if they find them.  This is how they get the name Kingsnake.  Like all Kingsnakes they will eat other snakes even venomous ones.  They have an immunity to the venom which makes Rattlesnakes and others vulnerable.

These photographs of a Prairie Kingsnake were taken on a Canon Rebel T3I.

Tiger Salamander pictures

Tiger Salamanders are one of my favorite types of Salamanders.  I currently have one living in an aqaurium with my two baby Painted Turtles and my baby Softshell Turtle.  These are some Tiger Salamander Pictures that I have taken.

These Tiger Salamander pictures were taken on a Canon 5D Mark II camera with a Sigma 180mm lens.  I use a Canon MT-24EX twin flash unit.  My Tiger Salamander eat mainly insects I find in the yard as well as worms and store bought crickets and meal worms.  Here are some additional Tiger Salamander Pictures

Macro photographs of a wolf spider.

This is a group of macro pictures of a wolf spider with an egg sack. I took these pictures with a Canon 5d Mark II camera. I used an MP-E 65mm lens. Wolf spiders are not really aggressive but will bite if harassed. They are not dangerous to humans but will cause a painful bite.



I found this mother carrying her egg sack on the ground.  I took a few pphotographs and then released her on her way.  The Canon MP-E 65mm 2.8 1x-5x macro lens is one of my favorite lenses.  I get some really cool macro photography shots from it.


I am not sure what the red part in the above photograph is.  It may be a venom gland.




These arachnids are quite common in Texas.  I found a few of these each week it seems.  During the warmer months I find them crawling through the grass.

Alligator Snapping Turtle pictures

These are some pictures of my Alligator Snapping Turtle. These are one of the coolest turtles around. The largest freshwater species of turtle in the world. I plan to do some better photographs in the future.
