Saw this bug while in Inverness, FL. Posted it on the Bug Guide to find out what it was.

Got a 10 stop ND filter a while ago, and haven't used it too much. Went to the falls near my house to mess around with it and figured I'd at least upload one of the pictures.

Went out to get pictures of the snowfall from this past weekend, but there wasn't much left to get. I've never seen snow and fall colors at the same time my entire life. I'm hoping it happens again before falls gone so I have another chance. This is what I ended up with, I used a 10 stop ND filter to get some motion in the water to draw your eyes to the dock. Hopefully it worked.

Went to Tyler to shoot fall foliage, saw this frog's head sticking up out of the water and ended up shooting it instead. I initially wanted to get a slower shutter to show the current it was sitting still in but the reflections were really distracting. I had my 90mm a few inches away from it for about 5 minutes and it didn't move, but once I pulled my phone out to get a picture to show a friend, it swam right away. Figures.

It's hard to take a picture that I like of my car, considering I'm not 100% content with its look. Needs to be lower, and a wing. Three slaves used for this shot, two Vivitar 285HVs and a Canon 580ex.
