As always, your pictures are absolutely stunning. I want a bumblebee even MORE now, thanks ;P

Sad but true - on my internet hiatus over the summer, I actually missed the great pictures you post so regularly. I had nothing to change my desktop background to!

equipment mostly? I don't understand how you can get shots like that.. I try very hard and don't even get a fraction of the results I want to get compared to what you do!

Thanks for sharing!

Regards,
Bristen.

Hi Bristen,

I assure you that there are no secrets. Perhaps the fact that I look at everything as a painting might make a difference? I don’t know but regardless I really appreciate that you like my photos. I try to make photos that I like. You can use any camera be it Canon or Nikon etc and it all comes down to your choices "composition, focal point, lighting, background, technique and most importantly is taste". I am an Artist that takes photos for fun but I do it as if it is a painting, if that makes any sense?

Perhaps if you look at my paintings you might get an idea of how I compose anything visual. www.artist-kyle.com

Again, thank you for the comments and keep trying. Experience is most important. Like anything and everything to do something at a very high level takes allot of hard work and time to achieve. I am still trying.

Pro photographers especially "wildlife photographers" spend countless hours perfecting their technique in the field. I am certainly not comparing myself to them. I am self taught and I have spent years trying to perfect my own style. Being self taught meant allot of time and effort making many mistakes along the way to try and capture photos that I like.

Practice, practice, practice!

Sincerely, Kyle

(CJBianco explaining the origins of the BP market.)
"In the beginning Bob created the Ball Python market. And the market was without morph, and wild traits were upon the industry. And Bob said, Let there be morph, and there was morph. And Bob saw the morph, that it was good; and Bob divided the morph from the wild trait. And Bob called the morph Albino, and the wild trait Normal. And the Albino and the Heterozygous Albino were the first investment.

Hi Tosha,

I really appreciate your comment. Thank you very much.

WOW....what a superb picture. Indeed, it IS like a painting.
Your photos are art to the eyes Kyle. You have a talent in that area. I hope you continue with it to see where it will take you!
