The "i'm proud of this picture i took" thread #5

Solid rosey hue you got going there. Some nice lens flare and the mist. Lucky.
Here in the UK mid September to the mid October is the season of mist I hope to get out and get some.
Sunset at Thornton.

 

Went out macroing but no dice as it was too windy but then bullied this dinner until it posed. The Tamron 90mm macro AF is pretty awful, but it did nail this one.

Lake Prespa Greece

 

Went out this morning trying out some new gear. Raynox DCR-250 and my new flash diffuser (AK). The Raynox makes things quite difficult, even finding the subject was tricky. But I got 3 ok ish photos. Lots to work on, haven't done macro for years.

This fella was kinda big. So whilst there is good detail I could not get closer for loosing some of the beast out of frame and scaring it off. Need less to say I did.
I do like his wing tip markers they must come in handy if you are a dragon fly.

@GlassGR: Terrific, we all love a survivor and great picture. Hope the burned out area gets replanted soon. Send the pickie to: The national geographic or your local TV station or something.
@big ROBOT bill: M8 you certainly have the eye.

 

Running 100's of meters down the beach chasing after bubbles with a camera does not look cool. I got the distinct impression from on lookers who faces seemed to say. What a village idiot, chasing bubbles.
