Photo-a-day

Indeed, back to the piccies

Todays are a ladybird larva and a bee orchid -finally !! I've only been looking for three years for the bee ! Usual setup.

Jumping into this a bit late..

For what it's worth, I can also see some minor banding on kushti's photo in the same place as described by kushti himself, and Tim S. As I said minor, and probably a compression artefact.

On a more serious note:

If you don't know what someone's set-up is, or what their level of technical expertise or experience is, don't make arrogant assumptions about them, as it will only lead to bad feeling, and I'll have to put my Mod hat on properly.

I shouldn't have to say this but if people make others feel like they aren't welcome to comment, there will be repercussions.

Kal, nice pair - a female four spot chaser and an azure damselfly

Here's an envious fly (deerfly) sat on my jeans, trying to bite me:


and a hovering honebee, even at 1/1000th exposure, they still move !! :

Great bee shot! That little girl has had a very successful forage!

[Bobster]

Very nice Bob.

thanks, its a learning curve from shooting 35mm and digital. i did some practice lighting shots with my cousin and his family as guinea pigs with wireless OCF and syncing 1/400 - I've learnt that the viewfinder is not WYSIWYG and will have to put some tape on the glass i think once i've worked out the boundaries

looking though the lens the feet had plenty of room at the bottom, but as you can see they were chopped off..
overall i'm very pleased with the performance of my new camera considering the price paid

the sync of 1/400 will make for some interesting OCF shots outside, so will be attempting some cool stuff with this camera in the near future

Looks good Bob, which film type are you using?

Looks good Bob, which film type are you using?

Cheers Tim, its not film, because I'm scanning I've gone with Fuji Provia 100F 120, i prefer to have more shadow details

North Island Robin.

This is about the only good photo out of ~200 that I got on Tiritiri Matangi nature reserve island.

Is my bounce flash card ok or should it be bigger?

I'll tidy this up when I get home, but for now here's a quick and dirty stitch. Full size on Flickr is 6,000px wide.

I've seen a "good" location for this kind of shot at water level, but having looked on Google Streetview it seems like the sort of place where mobsters hand out concrete shoes. Not somewhere I would want to go on my own.






I'm off to Sydney for the weekend in the morning.
