The images in the Bugwalks portfolio rank, in no particular order, as some of my very favorites. This does not mean that they are “the best” as that can be very subjective. While I did try to look at them with a reasonable amount of subjectivity regarding the technical aspects of light, composition and interest, in reality they simply just have a special place in my heart.
All of the images shown here were captured by me, Curtis W. Smith. All rights are reserved so please contact me if you are interested in one of these images. I love to print!

Each year I will try to get one good image of my favorite wildflower, the western trillium. During a hike in May of 2019 I found this almost perfect specimen that was too good to pass up. I used a f2.5 setting for shallow depth of field and a 1/80 second shutter speed.

A visit to New Hampshire in the fall of 2017 provided me with this wonderful location in the forests west of Nashua. A 2 second exposure at f13 gave me this result!

The architecture in Dubai, UAE is without match and the Burj Khalifa is truly remarkable. I had a long layover in Dubai in March of 2019 and decided to take a true Bugwalk wandering aimlessly through the downtown section. The lightshow that occurs every so often at the Burj Khalifa really made for a wonderful sight and photographic challenge. I didn’t have a tripod as it was in my checked bag so I found a spot to rest my camera on a wall and captured this 2.5 second, f2.5 image.
