Beetle in Flight
Thanks for the kind words. Now for today's macro challenge, how about a beetle flying towards you. With its eyes in focus :twisted::twisted: No, no, no, absolutely not - life's too short and the list of jobs to be done is too long!!! In case you're wondering, I noticed that a beetle standing a...

Recent track day in France
A few shots from a track day that I've just got back from - hopefully you find the cars interesting. I've included a shot of a wonderful Tromp L'oeil that the circuit owners have put in the car park. 1) Ford GT 40 (replica) 2) AC Cobra (replica) 3) AC Cobra and Morgan V8 ...

Close up visit to Slimbridge
These have a beautiful, subtle quality to them - I think it's the slightly muted colours combined with the perfect focus points. I assume these are with the 'Z' and not a K1 with adaptor 8)

Looks like good detail Don. Weather is irrelevant if your having fun. Spent some time over at Noosa just before heading back to Blighty, a lovely area. Best regards

A Couple of Colourful Flies
Thanks for your comments, folks. First one is a Ruby tailed wasp Thanks for the identification, Mike. So it's a wasp, not a fly! There's something new to learn every day. :) These do look a little soft on my screen thou, although it may be the uploaded file size. Probably a combination of uplo...

Eclectic water visions... you do have an affinity with the Element. 1, 8, 11 and 12 pop right out for me, visions of a parallel world - akin to the celtic 'mountain behind the mountain' - sometimes felt, rarely seen, and, one would think, unphotographable ... yet there it is. And not without hum...

some bits from local common
all from the same shoot bar the hedge John, that's ours. we are so lucky to have this common so close. it is an SSI area and is maintained the same way as agriculture used to be, letting the cows chew the cud and manure it . they are taken off around late Autumn i think then it gets a cut back late ...

A working 16-85mm is a fine lens to have to hand. Fingers crossed that it doesn't slip back into its old habits. Did you find out the cause of the problem? (Some self-interest here in case mine develops the same trouble...) No. 2 is my favourite. It has a 3-D feel that isn't so strong in the othe...

Glad that the lens is now fine. I have this lens and it is a stunner. It used to stick a bit when zooming in very hot conditions but that has fixed itself. It is my third copy as the first was totally dead on arrival - could not focus at all. I sent it straight back to SRS and they sent another. Thi...

Glad to hear that you got the 16-85 repaired. Good shots, well balanced. For me I like numbers 3 and 4 with good cloud colours and the foreground rock colour. Paul A working 16-85mm is a fine lens to have to hand. Fingers crossed that it doesn't slip back into its old habits. Did you find out ...

I appreciate the way you chose to expose these images - and the ensuing feeling of tranquility. 'La force tranquille', as said one of François Mitterrand's presidential campaigns way back when.

A very weird insect indeed...
Thank you all for your comments. Steve: My aim must have been better than I thought - the wasp is back on the Fennel this evening minus its ovipositor :roll: Roger

A Bit of "Dainty " lightning
richandfleur, sigma 17-70mm @17mm f5.6- f8 iso 200, on a tripod, focus at infinity, wired remote then its all down to luck on what the storm gives you. so i wait for the lightning to start to get the general direction to point the lens, see where most activity occurs, lock the shutter open and rel...

Tiny Spider
This tiny thing was little more than a mobile miniscule blob of jelly with legs. Photographing bugs wasn't in today's plan, but it appeared through the viewfinder from behind the tendril and I couldn't resist. About 2mm across, including its legs (checked with a ruler) :shock:. Difficult to focus on...

Tiny Spider
The first shot is much more of a complete photo (compared to the other shot) - composition, background and clear focus on the subject really make it! Keep at it Steve :P
