Entering contests with wide ranging categories makes me shoot things I wouldn’t normally seek out. I spent several afternoons crawling around shooting bees, wasps, caterpillars, grasshoppers and beetles. I always dread doing it because I’d much rather be chasing mammals or birds, but then I end up having fun with it. It’s certainly a challenge and makes me grow a little bit every time.

This one won’t win any points in the contest, but it makes me laugh. Love how close I’ve been able to get to these cats. They’re so calm, cool and collected. They know something is there, but seem pretty certain that whatever it is they can kick its butt.

This one was inside the focal range of my 600mm at roughly 12-13’ so I grabbed the back-up camera with the 200 and got some full body shots.
