How many of these pictures have you got up on your walls? I can imagine your house being really decorated XD
Alos, I do love the straight ahead look, it really connects you with the subject

I actually dont have that many (maybe 6 hanging up). I only print a handful of photos since I can't afford to print every shot. However, photos like my milky way and bobcat shots are what I strive for. They're not the best photos in the world, but they are some of the best photos I have. :3

Yeah, my dad's a hobby photographer too, joined the local club and enters contests and all so we have quite a few pictures on the walls throughout the house as well.
I do wonder, how did you make the milkyway one? I'm gessing long exposure during sunrise? Also, the bobcat one is gorgeous, it's kind of a shame the log in the foreground is so blurry though. Though I do guess it puts the focus on the cat

Yeah, I would have liked the log to be in focus as well, but that photo already had a lot of recovery done to it. If I had shot it at F/6.3 or F/7.1, I doubt I would have to increase the ISO beyond what would probably be acceptable. Although, if I had the time, I probably would have tried. You just don't get the control you want with animals, so sometimes you have to deal with what you've got. :/

For the Milky way, what you are seeing at the horizon isn't the sunset/sunrise. That photo was taken at Mount Mitchell, and if you look southwest of the mountain, you will notice a city (Ashville) ~30 miles away. The bright glow edging its way into the core of the Milky Way is light pollution. Something which took me 3 hours to get away from. There are things I would like to do better next time (such as using a tracking mount), but for my first Milky Way photo, I'm glad of how it turned out. :3

aaah, I see. Light pollution really is the bane of night photography but I had no idea it got htis bad. But it kind of looks pretty cool, from the deep of night to a sunrise like it looks like now has a sort of poetic value

He's cute and soft ^^

He is! Flint is my favorite animal at the North Carolina zoo. It's always a pleasure seeing him and Pigeon. Every time I get a good photo of them, it's the highlight of my trip and I can't wait until I can go back an photograph them again. :3

That's very solid & high quality photography! Good job! ^^

Thanks, man. There are a few things which I think would have pushed it over the top (an overcast day, more leaves in the trees, stepping down the aperture just a bit, etc.), but considering I only had a few seconds, I'm happy with how it turned out. :3

Ofcourse! :3

Handsome boy!

The handsomest! Truly one of my favorite subjects at the North Carolina Zoo. :3

Looks like he's smiling! So loveable :3

I never noticed that, but thanks for pointing it out. I can't unsee it now, but that makes it better. :3
