Photo 365 - On Assignment

Hello There Everyone and Welcome to the Blog

I have three sets of photos here. The first is my photo project (the original page) entitled Photo 365 - On Assignment. It was a spin on a 365 photo project. I love the idea of the 365 project, but I needed a little more structure. I also needed some help getting out of my photographic comfort zone. I decided to take suggestions for monthly themes from the people around me and those who view my photos. I finished the project on January 15th, but please feel free to go back and enjoy my year in pictures.

The second page is dedicated to my favorite photographic subject, nature. Right now that page contains just photos I have taken in Everglades National Park. I just finished updating it, adding more photos, captions, and common and scientific names for all the shots. Please enjoy!

The third page is from the second UM Spring Football game in 2010. This was my first foray into sports photography. I was "working" this event with a friend of mine who blogs for a Hurricane's sports blog. All the shots came from the stands because we didn't have sideline passes, but I still got some decent shots. I hope to update this page with shots from this year's spring game. Go Canes!

Enjoy the blog!

Photo 365 - On Assignment - February (Small Things)

Common Moorhen / Florida Gallinule (Gallinula chloropus cerceris)

I spotted this little fellow at AD Barnes around sunset time. He was busy scurrying around picking up leftovers from a father and son that were feeding a white goose. He was mixed in with some American Coots (which I did not photograph) and was being much more aggressive toward getting the leftovers. What I really like about this picture is that you can actually see the little water droplets on his back, although I might not be that easy to see when viewing a smaller version of this picture. I wish I could have gotten a little more detail in those white feathers instead of having them so blown out, but it is still a nice shot. PS I threw in the subspecies name for all you science dorks out there!

Shot on Canon Rebel T1i at f/5.6, 1/320 sec, 250 mm, ISO 400
