Sunning with the Costa Rican Crocodiles Carara National Park protects the Tárcoles River Basin in Costa Rica. A haven for wildlife… populations include a diverse variety of waterfowl and Rainforest favorites… Toucans, Hummingbirds, Parrots especially the Scarlet Macaws. My chance to photograph Reptiles & jungle Animals… Monkeys, Sloths, Poison Arrow Frogs, but at the top of my list was the American Crocodile. In addition, I was in Costa Rica to shoot a catalog cover, seeking a tropical jungle backdrop, I hired a Panga Boat with local guide Sebastian to scout out a location. He mentioned a spot ahead where he could let me ashore, I would be able to walk up over a small rise and the Crocodillos will be sunning on the other side. I was busy putting the 80-200 zoom on my camera and we headed ashore, as he dropped me off the bow I inquired about the size of the crocs, he replied in Spanish that they would be only 10 meters away! I asked directly, is this safe? With all the confidence in the world he replied… ¡No Tienes Hambre! translation:: Don’t worry Señor they are not very hungry Captured May 1999 on Kodachrome 25, Nikon F3, Nikkor 80-200mm zoom See my latest work online… http://www.martyhiester.com ©Marty Hiester- Creative Commons (CC by NC 3.0) #crocodiles #tarcolesriver #costarica #MARTYhiester (at Tárcoles River)

Headed Home with the "Cachanillas" Wandering back across the desert flats during a “glowing” windstorm. With the sun setting off to the west, a small palm thatched palapa stands strong in the gale. Said to be nomadic, the folks from Mexicali are nicknamed “Cachanillas” meaning tumbleweeds… many of which were blowing around in this storm!

Highway 395, Near Conway Summit, Sierra Nevada Mountains Location Shooting used to mean driving around the Sierra with a quiver of “fluffed” up sleeping bags in the back ready to go… I was headed south, just after a fresh snowstorm when I spotted the perfect pullout. Looking SW towards Yosemite National Park with the Sierra Crest backdrop from Dunderberg Peak to Twin Peaks. I placed the bag down carefully upon the snow without any footprints, added some reflectors & bracketed away! Captured December 1979 on Kodachrome 25, Nikon F3, Nikkor 50mm 1.4 See my latest work online… http://www.martyhiester.com ©Marty Hiester- Creative Commons (CC by NC 3.0) #highsierra #yosemite #highway395 #california #MARTYhiester (at Conway Summit)

Sunflower Vibrance Driving down 12th street I spotted a field of Sunflowers against the sunny Summer sky. I shot there for awhile, every Flower casting a wonderful shape against the blue.

The Local Farmers Market & Vegetable Gardens are my favored places for grabbing tasty images! I captured this bowl of moody tomatoes out in My Garden, the afternoon lighting was magic… I actually learned to move the saturation slider to the left on this one!

Fall Leaves The lighting was perfect… returning back to the house after a colorful day hike, I looked down at the piles of leaves on the ground. There was something amazingly crisp about the details, especially the edges of the leaves in the filtered sun. When I’m not toting my DSLR, the iPhone is my favored tool, I do most post processing right in the iPhone before export.
