I keep talking about my fledgling Red-bellied Woodpecker but I finally got off my duff this morning to photograph this sweet baby

My heart is broken into pieces, my friend & bird guide of many years that i shared many adventures with, most recently in Panama, has died, it just doesn't seem fair -- he was much younger, i just assumed he would always be there & we were already talking about the next trip...

The light was not great on these monkeys but... I have finally developed something to capture the mood of this family.

i'm still not happy with my tree photography but to prevent overwhelm i will continue to focus on birds &, i hope, macro subjects-- that's enough overwhelm for a beginner

comments welcome tho...

here is a less cropped version of the same mother and child photo i just posted-- the tree branch they're using was hanging out over the road --

from what i've seen, sloths often "hang around" near roads or human structures but maybe there are just a lot of sloths and the easy "low hanging" fruit are the ones we tend to notice & photograph...

A big fat furry sloth is hanging from a tree branch against a background of green forest. A small baby is clinging to her belly and upper chest, turned to tuck the top of baby's head under mom's chin. The sloths have black eyes with a noticeable dark mask around the eyes. This is Brown-throated Sloth, a three-toed sloth. Photo by Peachfront. Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica.

 

For an animal that doesn't move much, sloths can be hard to photograph in a way that results in a photo worth looking at. However, on the last day of our workshop, we found this mother and baby, and the resulting photographs have caused me to delete all the ones from the rest of the week!

part of my macro workshop involved working w/ flash to overcome the extreme depth of field issues, i'm a bit meh on flash but me thinks this one's a keeper

(Note: all animals photo'd for this class were wild herps locally wrangled & returned to the wild after-- prefer not to post any picture of "collected" animals (however temporarily collected) w/out disclosure

This is another professionally "wrangled" amphibian from my macro day, all were released back into the wild by the property owner/wrangler after the class was over (a couple of hours) but it's still up to you if you consider this wildlife photograph... i think i just consider it macro photography

there's a stadium directly below this balcony to provide view of the games

so i assume these baffling barriers are for safety--
we don't need rowdy hotel guests throwing bottles of beer down on the opposing team now do we? 🤣
