Brown Creeper
This has been a challenge bird for me - I have seen it a few times (Bowen Island, Renfrew Ravine) but I have never got it recorded before. Even this bird, I shot 18 frames and only 1 was passable (barely). This was shot hand held.
High Contrast Flower
There are studio setups you can use to get this effect so I was quite surprised when it happened outside. Basically the flower is in full sunlight but correctly exposed. The background was a bit shady, but the contrast is so high that the background looks black.
