Hello! I do some photography on the side (just a hobby) and just figured Id post some of my pics. I know there are a few other photographers on this site, and we've done a post like this in the past, but I figured Id start a new one so people can post their favorite pictures. I have ALOT that I want to share, so please feel free to do the same. Im a sucker for a good photograph, lets see some of your work!

I had to upload these from Photobucket, so some of the quality has been lost in the upload. As you can tell, I like to shoot nature mostly.

Steve O....maybe you already are aware of this but there are lots of sites you can open an account and get paid for everytime someone downloads your picture. You might want to take advantage of that being that you are putting them on here for free.

I still like the baby mantis the best but darned if you didn't make that pinktoe tarantula look like something off of sesame street! What a face on that guy Rapture has a great idea as I have shown off your efforts to some coworkers and they LOVE them. Thanks!

These are beyond words - beautifully composed, lite, balanced, etc. Thank you for sharing. What camera did you use?

Your photos just made my day. I hope you don't mind, I copied a few to use as my desktop wallpaper (I change frequently). I love all the close-ups of the insects, even the snakes are beautiful and I so don't like snakes. You have a real gift for composition and ought to be making scads of money for your art. Thank you for sharing.

And by the way, your wife and sister-in-law are stunners. They will always appreciate that moment in time that you captured.

Really nice photos, Steve-O, although I would have liked some warning about the snakes and spiders. Eeeeuuu! Up close, I guess you have to admit that they are beautiful creatures - I just don't like looking at them!

Speaking of beautiful creatures - your wife and her sister are gorgeous! Come to think of it, they look a lot like me! ;-)
