Kristie Richmond, All creatures great and small (ANIMAL & NATURE 2026)

These images were captured on my newest camera, the R6mkii using a EF24-105mm lens connected to a control ring adapter. The look on the puppy's face was priceless. I was quite happy to get the shot of the dog smiling like he had just won a prize. The facial expression on this little fella just grabs at your heart and I was so happy to get that shot. The Port Jackson shark and the Blob Jelly were also a great catch in the low lighting, and I was very happy with the way they came out, while the King Parrot I was so happy with the close up of the head as it took out the other distractions of the area in which I caught the shot.
