Week 35 of 52: More Canvas Wraps have come in (Hummingbird August, and the Snowy Owl cover)

I have been shooting some this past week, but wanted to keep the blog focused on the 2015 Wildlife Calendar project. My local CBS television station is shooting a special interest segment on me and the calendar tomorrow. So I wanted to keep the blog current with Calendar info.

You can get either of these canvas wraps via the Kick Starter link. We are almost halfway through the 45 days and only 40% funded. Pledge away!

My Gallery Debut

Posted on August 23, 2014 by Kent Jarrett

About Six months ago I was asked by my local gun store owner if I wanted to be the featured artist when he opened his new state of the art indoor shooting range. Heck yeah I was all in! Central Illinois Shooting Sports had their grand opening today. You can follow them on Facebook. If you do stop by be sure you tour the “Platinum Members Lounge” where my art is hung. Make sure you tell Steve that I sent you!

I HATE getting in front of the camera, much more comfortable behind the lens than in autofocus cross hairs! That does it, I need to go on a diet!

My best mean bear pose. 🙂

Update on my 2015 Wildlife Calendar project. 15 days down, and 30 days to go. We have pledges of $948 on the way to $3,000. One third of the time has elapsed, and the project has almost raised one third the funds needed. It is going to be CLOSE, but you can help make the project a reality! Pledge and share the project link!

Thank you all so much for the kind words and comments about my work. It makes it all worth it!

More updates on the calendar soon, and I have booked my next adventure to go chase bugling Elk in the GSMNP.

Life is good, and I am blessed,

Kent

Week 33 of 52: Bumble Bee

While trying to photograph Male Ruby Throated Hummingbirds, this one bumble bee kept getting closer and closer. He didn’t want anything to do with, just the flowers. I was so close I had to walk back to the car and grab my second camera body with my 100mm macro lens.

Don’t forget, not too late to get a copy of my wildlife calendar over on Kick Starter.
