Wonderful Floras and Faunas

I woke up really early last Saturday. 4:30am to be exact. Met up with three other photographers and went up to a highland hoping to shoot sunrise.

Turned out to be a foggy, windy, and rainy day with no sun in sight. Still a great day though to enjoy the cold weather and all the wonderful floras and faunas the highland had to offer.

All images here were shot with a Canon 40D and Sigma 150mm F2.8 Macro Lens.


A rather rare scorpionfly, for me, at least. Hope to see it again and take better shots of it.
