Late Spring Full Moon. Image taken with a Nikon D3x and 600 mm f/4 VR lens + TC-E III 20 (ISO 100, 1200 mm, f/16, 1/100 sec) on a Gitzo tripod and Wimberley Head. Raw image processed with Capture One Pro, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CS5

Yucca flowers starting to bloom — The deer haven’t eaten them yet. Image taken with Nikon D4 camera and 200 mm f/2 VR lens (ISO 100, 200 mm, f/4, 1/125 sec). Raw image processed with Capture One Pro 8, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
While taking the image a young deer walked up right next to me and then realized I was there. I may have to stay up all night to protect the flowers.
