Outtakes? (Monarch Caterpillar Study #3)
Details: ISO: 200 | Exposure: 1/10 at f/11 | Focal Length: 90mm
Details: ISO: 400 | Exposure: 1/20 at f/8 | Focal Length: 90mm
Two more images of the Monarch caterpillar that has taken up residence in recently planted milkweed. These were taken from slightly different angles and not as close as the previously displayed images, and are probably outtakes (more often than not, I think that closer is better when it comes to photography). You can see Study #1 and Study #2 by clicking on these links.

Abusing A Good Thing
As with most blogs, the Gallery permits people to leave comments regarding postings. Comments have ranged from simple complements to questions about the images posted. All comments regarding the substance of the Gallery are welcome and appreciated.
In the last few weeks, however, there have been a rash of inappropriate comments submitted. By and large, these comments have not related in any way to the Gallery; instead, they have been gratuitous advertisements for entirely unrelated Internet-related scams and ventures.
As we have since the first day the Gallery went on-line, all comments are reviewed and approved before they are posted and visible to other visitors to the Gallery. Since we are already restricting comments in this fashion, repeated abuse of the comment feature will leave us with no alternative but to block access to those individuals abusing the system.
For everyone else, we hope that you enjoy your visit to the Gallery, and encourage you to leave comments that related to the Gallery.

Tiger, tiger, burning bright...
Details: ISO: 100 | Exposure: not recorded | Focal Length: 600mm
A white Bengal Tiger, Miami MetroZoo.
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
--William Blake, 1757-1827
