I shot this image at the Agricultural History Farm Park in Derwood, Maryland this summer where they have a public, trial dahlia garden. While shooting the dahlias, I found a jumping spider in a white dahlia. While I was shooting the spider, a hover fly landed on the petal above the spider. I quickly focused on the fly’s eyes and got one shot before it flew away. I focus-stacked the image with the one I took moments before that was focused on the spider’s eyes to get the final image.

This image was taken from the Olmstead Overlook at the Maryland side of Great Falls. I set my camera up on a tripod and took lots of different images of different parts of the falls, and at different shutter speeds. I liked this one for the flow of the water through the image, and the color contrats between the rocks and water. Taken with a Sony A7rIV and a Tamron 50-400 lens at 90mm. It was a 0.5 second exposure. Printed on an Epson p800 printer on Red River Ultrapro Satin 4 Paper
