Hi #PortfolioDay

I’m Loren. I live in Illinois, USA and I like taking pictures of birds and other things in nature like bugs and turtles and muskrats and mushrooms and moss and frogs and flowers and opossums.

I use a Canon R7 with a 100-400mm lens for most of my pictures and occasionally a 100mm or 35mm for macro. I don’t like doing most dramatic edits and don’t digitally remove branches or “clutter” from my pictures.

I have many of my photos posted on here but for my full portfolio or if you’d like a print that can be found here: https://lorennaturephotography.pixieset.com/birds/birds/

@loren wow, great photos! As a fellow Illinoisian, I need to explore our local ecology more, thanks for the inspiration.

@loren Great shots. I really like the Opossum.

recently my eldest mentioned she had never seen one. Where we used to live you would see them once in a while, but since we moved to Vancouver there isn't any.

I looked at iNaturalist, and you have to drive at least 50km before they start to be reported.

@loren so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Excellent pictures!👏
@loren These are gorgeous!
I see you have the same problem in your possum picture that I often do with my canon with a telephoto: diagonal striations that I can't figure out. I spent some time with canon tech support, and they couldn't figure it out.
Do you have any insight into why those lines appear in the background?
@loren Beautiful photos! I can't decide if the opossum or mushrooms are my favorite.
@loren those mushrooms are magical!
@loren very, very, so, incredibly, swag. i love your photos so much keep doing what you do best!!
@loren always boost tortle stack
