Nov 7th, 2008 | "American Kestrel" This is a female American Kestral (Falco sparverius). I got this shot at this years Gulf Coast Renaissance Faire. The raptor exhibit is one of my favorite things about the Ren. Faire. I love the grace and beauty of these birds. The American Kestrel is the smallest falcon in North America, and they range pretty much from Alaska down to Mexico. It is one of the most popular raptors used by apprentice falconers. |

About meI am a 26 year old broadcast engineer from Pensacola, FL. I was 14 when I bought my first real camera, a Canon AE-1 Program with a 50mm/1.4 and 135mm/3.5. I took photography in high school and college, learning about the technical aspects of photography as well as dark room processes. After high school, I wasn't taking as many pictures as I used to because of the cost of film and developing. A while later, I bought a point and shoot digital camera and started taking lots of pictures again. In October of '05 I bought a Rebel XT and really caught the bug again. I had been holding out for a while, waiting for the Canon 5D to be updated, but it got to the point where I needed a new camera. This May I purchased a 40D. I will be eventually buying a 5D but for now, I need to build up my lens collection.I have taken more photographs in the last 3 years than I have in my entire life before that. In addition to digital, I have also developed an interest in Polaroid photography, which is bad timing since Polaroid is discontinuing instant film. I am also looking into trying out medium format and possibly going back into b/w 35mm. I am working on getting better at photography and hope to one day possibly do this for more than just a hobby.LinksMy Polaroid PhotoblogMy personal website Future Home of My Design Website My Photo Projects Gallery
