Karner Blue EggThis an egg of the Karner Blue Butterfly (Lycaeides melissa samuelis). The image was captured in the field on Kodachrome 25 in 1979. On the original slide, the magnification was about 8x, attained by reverse mounting a 24mm lens on a 200mm telephoto. As presented here, 32x. The egg is literally the size of a pin head. Lighting was electronic flash held above and behind the subject.

This image appepared on the cover of "Nature New York" Spring/Summer 2009. This is the Nature Conservancys magazine for the New York Chapter.
Lucifer Falls #1Lucifer Falls, Robert Treman State Park, Ithaca, NY. (115)

There is a stone wall barrier along the path of obvious importance for safety. This image made from atop that stone wall at the farthest location of the viewing area on the Gorge Trail. I had the camera / tripod placed as far over the stone wall as possible (two collapsed legs on the wall, one fully extended leg on the trail). This position allowed capture of the whole waterfall as a vertical panorama of 2 horizontal frames. The sun was just hitting the top of the waterfall, and the bottom of the gorge was substantially darker, so HDR was called for.

Managing the appearance of the stone wall was the primary problem in making this image. The wall angles off to the right here and I was able to elminate it from the foreground by cropping. The yellow leaves on the right nicely camoflage the stone wall; only visible upon close inspection. Impossible to remove the part near the top of the waterfall without some serious cloning. So about as natural a presentation of the waterfall as I can get without serious image manipulation.

The other problem was managing the other photographers and leaf peepers <g>. Fortunately they were all in a hurry and moved quickly through the frame. [ View large on black ]
Taughannock FallsThe Big "T". Tallest continuous flow waterfall in New York State at 215 feet. higher than Niagara by 33. Inspiration Falls at Letchworth State Park is taller, but flows only seasonally or after substantial rain. There are images of Inspiration Falls in the Letchworh set.

Arrived early... still dark and cold. Waited for the light. I finally saw the bright red rays of the sun break through the eastern cloud cover, and set up my camera. Then the beautiful light completely disappeared. Sigh...

Made this 9 frame (3x3) pano instead. This is a quarter of the original size. The caprock sandstone band is clearly seen, with softer shales above and below.
Union College Chapel WindowTaken through a window in the Union College Memorial Chapel. The old glass distorts and colors the view of Beuth House. (Large image provides best view of old window panes.)

Middle and Upper Falls at Letchworth State ParkMiddle Falls from Inspiration Point on the West side of the gorge. Early morning. I think the coloration is an example of Blue Haze caused by natural emissions in heavily forested areas. [ View large on black ]

Hickory Tussock Moth CaterpillarThe Hickory Tussock Moth (Lophocampa caryae) caterpillar.

Found this guy quite by accident. If you look at the Berries-of-Christman image, hes at the upper left of the blue berries and out of focus. Apparently the hairs on this critter can cause itching and rash, and sometimes be quite serious.
Berries of Christman SanctuaryLittle water at Christman today... but a lot of colorful berries. (Look at a bigger image for better detail.) The bottom two are Cornus racemosa and Cornus amomum. Working on the top image...

Although I think of August as part of "true summer", the shrubs clearly thinks its autumn. Last evening, I heard Canada Geese on the river, a lay over on their south-bound migration. Really is autumn already....
BlueWhalePanoLife size Blue Whale inside the American Museum of Natural History. Hes mostly styrofoam, of course. This is a three panel panorama with a 4MP Canon A80 steadied on the guard rail.
Coastal MaineRockweed (Fucus vesiculosus) Maine. Typically found in the intertidal zone as it tolerates drying. I love the monochrome colors. The diffuse, foggy morning light was perfect to enhance color and detail, yet keep contrast low. The larger images show nice detail.
Lady Slipper (aka Moccasin Flower)Cypripedium acaule - Photographed in the Albany Pine Bush. This native orchid lures pollinators into the opening in the moccasin, which closes and makes exiting this way impossible. They escape through an opening at the top, which forces the insect past the flowers anthers and stigmas. As they pass through, the pollen sticks to the insect, and pollinates the next flower visited.

The orchid family, largest of the flowering plants, is noted by the extreme modification of one petal (labellum), in this case the large pink slipper.

Eastern Fence LizardThis image was taken at the Volcanos day use area of Petroglyph National Monument, Albuquerque NM. This male seemed to be guarding a nesting site among the lava rocks. I believe it is an Eastern Fence Lizard. Please let me know if otherwise!

Another image where the Swivel-Tilt LCD on my Canon A80 made this image possible. When I moved closer, this fellow scampered back under the rock. Holding the camera low and well forward did not frighten him.
