Back in New Mexico for a couple weeks. Here's a nursing bighorn sheep, a rufous hummingbird, a sphinx moth gathering nectar, and a still life with Big Milly the millipede, named to contrast with a beetle my kid called Little Billy a couple weeks ago.

@stshank your photos always come out so beautifully; what kind of hardware and process do you use?

@darkuncle I shoot with a Canon R5 Mark II and various lenses — 200-800mm for birds, 100mm macro for bugs, 14-35mm and 24-70mm for landscapes. Processed in Lightroom, usually pretty light edits. The mirrorless camera era has really helped with eye-tracking autofocus.

@darkuncle And perhaps it goes without saying, but I don't usually post the abundant duds. :)

@stshank do you happen to have a full res version of the moth shot somewhere? that's a fantastic shot.
