# About me
I work for the U.S. National Park Service (unfortunately most of my work is inside), and I spend my spare time trying to capture inspiring photographs. My goal is to create images compelling enough to advance the preservation of our natural surroundings. My deepest peace comes when I'm immersed in nature...whether that is walking through waist-high prairie grasses, wading in tanin-stained swamps, or scrambling over treeline in the mountains.Thanks so much for viewing and commenting on my work!
If you'd like updates on my travels and research, then feel free to join me on Facebook: www.facebook.com/juddpattersonβ¦
Current Residence: Miami, FL

Hi! I just wanted to say your photography is so beautiful and compelling! You are so lucky to be able to work with the U.S National Park service, even if it is indoor! Like you, I am at my best when I am immersed in nature, and hope to have a career with the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission, as a Wildlife Officer, so I could be outdoors at all times! Keep up with the beautiful photographs! X3

Your work is beautiful, Ive done A level photography, animal photography coursework of my own, but never did I study a photographer that captures animals so gracefully!
Your bird pictures are stunning. Love it ^-^

Very rarely do I find a photographer who's photographs are as captivating as yours!
You have such a wonderful eye, especially when it comes to birds. Your framing is excellent, not only do you have magnificent subjects, but amazing skill in artistic capturing!

Thank you! Did you see my quetzal photograph as a print? From everything they sent me it seemed like it wasn't going to be printed for the actual exhibit. Thanks for any details!

meihua In reply to juddpatterson [2011-06-03 00:45:33 +0000 UTC]
No, it was on display on a large LCD TV along with some others. It seemed like the photographs on the TV were honorable mentions, while the prints were the photographs that had placed.

Thank you! I did not realize they were going to put some of them on a LCD TV. I really appreciate the news!

Hi Judd! I love your recent (well, not so recent anymore) hummingbird photos from your trip to Ecuador! I was wondering if you could help out with some bird IDs? At #Birds-Club we run a bird ID blog and a member recently posted about some hummingbirds she photographed in Peru. Perhaps you could shed some light as to the species? Her comment is here .
Thanks for your time,
Robin

Robin, thanks for the comments! I love hummingbirds too, but I am far from an expert when it comes to South American hummingbirds...especially females. I tried to help with those particular photographs, but I just don't have any idea. I wish I had a book of birds from Peru, but my Ecuador book is not all that helpful. I hope to visit Peru soon...so maybe I can be more helpful in the future!

It's just a slightly transparent text layer (with drop shadow) that I created in Photoshop as a separate layer and add to my photographs with an action. Thanks for the kind words!
