The expertise shows. The skill, the capture, the experience.

It is exquisite but you have done this many, many, many, many, many times before.

Fess up.
Thank you very much. But, seriously, while I have been an amateur all my life, and I did do some professional wedding photography for a couple of years, I have never done bugs and plants before. I always photograph people - what's called candid street photography, or photos of families for friends and family.

This is not just my first bird of paradise photo, it was the first time I have ever seen a bird of paradise - LOL.

But, I am trying to branch out into more types of photography. My real passion is photographing people outside of studios (I don't like studio work). I have considered doing photo sessions for TV residents that would like to have some lifestyle photo's taken. But, I am retired and that sounds too much like work - LOL. Even if I didn't charge for them, It would still feel like work.
