This little Amazon Milk frog is a froglet. They're such cute little guys. 🥰 My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #photography #amphibian #treefrog #frog #herps

Thanks, Miska. 🙏
Thanks, Emma. It’s nice to see them when they are large. The typhoons often rip them away before they mature like this.
Thanks, Tim. 🙏
Thanks, Jen. 😊

It was the season for molting. My guess is they get a bit irritable at this time. This photo would make for a good "caption this" thread. 😄 My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #birdphotography #birds #photography #taiwan
They can stretch quite a bit, especially when eating sponges on the reef.
Thanks, Jen. 😊
Much thanks, Maria. 😊
Thanks. Greg. Cheers. 🍻
Gotta love macro. 🥰
Thanks, Susan. 😊
The hibiscus pistil has five red, "hairy" spots at its tip, which make up the stigma, where pollen is collected. My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #photography #floralphotography #flowers #hibiscus
Thanks, Jan. 😊
Thanks, Kelly. I'm glad you like it. Cheers. 🍻
It really is impressive. I’m from the US but I’ve been here for 26 years now and I continue to enjoy it.
Thanks. 🙏
Good morning, Bluesky. 🌞 A sunrise from Youzihu Reef's Archway, Green Island, Taiwan, at morning light. My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #landscapephotography #landscape #seascapephotography #seascape #naturephotography #nature #sunrise #island #taiwan #asia #photography
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. 🤩
Nice thought. 😊 I’d image the Tarantula nebula. It’s my favorite deep space object in the southern hemisphere. I’m in the north, so I unable to capture it. NASA has already done it and it’s amazing. Google it, and you’ll be amazed. 🤩
😆
Thanks a lot. 👍
Thanks, Kim. 😊
Yes, there are colors from a variety of sources, interstellar dust, ionized gas, and the influence of predominant star colors in various regions.
Thanks so much, Tracey. 😊
Thanks. 🙏
I stopped it down to f/22 and used a tripod to make certain it was as parallel to the sensor as possible.
😊🙏
Thanks a lot. 😊

Thanks, Emma. It's one of my favorites. 🤩

Thanks, nice of you to say. 🙏
You're welcome. I'm glad you like them. I rarely take pictures of anything other than nature. The most noticeable destruction I've witnessed is to our ocean reefs. As an avid scuba diver, I'm saddened when I think of the coral bleaching I've seen. Not to mention the decline in fish populations. 😔
Thanks, I'm glad you like it. 😊
Thanks. 🙏
Thanks, Paula. 👍
This dragonfly is a Wandering Glider (Pantala flavescens). It was preening its tarsus as it rested on a branch. My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #photography #dragonflies #insects

Thanks, Ray.
No filters needed. There are tutorials on how to capture and process one online. It's bringing out the color that exists in the raw image. Just make sure you capture it in a raw format.
Thanks, Wren. 😊
This is a super blue mineral moon, captured in a single image with my telephoto lens. It's processed as a mineral moon (mineral deposit colors). My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #astrophotography #astronomy #naturephotography #nature #longexposure #moon #lunar #photography

Yes, very unique, Susie. 👍
Vietnamese Mossy tree frogs are both aboreal and aquatic. They wade in moss-covered puddles as a means of camouflage. My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #photography #amphibian #treefrog #frog #herps

Lionfish are nocturnal and emerge at dusk to prey on small fish. We often see them on night dives. This dive site is near my home. My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #underwaterphotography #scuba #wildlifephotography #wildlife #naturephotography #nature #marinelife #photography

Thanks, Mark. Let's hope so. 🙏
My Spiny Flower mantis reached adulthood and earned his wings. They had time to dry out, so it was time to exhibit those beautiful wings! 😍 My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #naturephotography #nature #macrophotography #macro #photography #prayingmantis #mantis #insects
