I also think that it behoves us to bring that beauty before others, to share the joy we had in encountering it, to add our own layer to the bedrock of excellence all around us.
Thankyou, Alan, for confirming my theory with this image.

Not generally a big fan of photograhic effects per se (HDR, fisheye, etc.), I find this depiction of Nature's patterns fascinating . The location helps but the capture of this phenomenon is great!
May I say, though, that I don't believe the composition needs the intrusion of the sand-shapes, right?
Thanks,
Coker.

The dofmaster site is v.useful!
The only thing using the dof preview lever in this instance is that I only have an instant to, literally, point the camera vaguely in the general direction of the v. fast flying bat & fire-off the shutter.
My thought was to preset everything as far as poss. so I "only" have to get the creature in the frame!
Progress(?) thus far can be seen in The Gallery.
Press on!

Can someone please let me know the h/d for my Pentax 18-55 3.5-5.6, when used at a). 18mm. & b). 55mm.?
If this could be before sunset, when the bats begin to be active, I would be most grateful!

A birder friend told me that the further into the process the bird(s) get, the less likely they are to abandon. Levels of commitment, time & effort invested, etc.
Wouldn't want to push it, though!
