Six Spot Burnet Moth

Quote: Seems just a little over-saturated in my eyes, just an opinion, still a good composition though....

I'm glad you said that. I think you are right. In fact I think I have a tendency to over-saturate which I need to get under control!

European Brown Hare

Nice shot!
I agree about the above comments regarding composition, but in the real world you can't always organize the model to behave appropriately. LOL.
I spend a lot of time photographing hares up here in Lancashire. One tip is that although they have more or less 360 vision, their blind spot, such as it is, is dead ahead. Many times I have stood on the road with a hare coming straight towards me oblivious to my presence and pass within a few feet.

I have just bought a 500mm f4. What a superb lens. The trouble is I get carried away and start taking photographs of things that are, realistically, much to far away. Even with the 1.4 extender the IQ is superb.

Rehearsal Notes

It's really odd. I'd almost forgotten about the images and I was looking through my files and thought I'd post one and see what the reaction was. I'm really chuffed with the award, it's the first one I've ever had, thanks for the comments.

I was trying to show how composing and music, jazz being my particular world, is 24 hours. The lighting was intended to convey that. either late evening or early morning, and the frustrations of creation.

My only nit with this one is the lack of any detail in the eye. A catchlight would have tipped it for me, but sometimes we have to take what we get in the instant

Thanks for the comment John, that's a useful point. I'm going to check the other shots.

Grey Heron

Thanks to everyone for your great and supportive comments.

Yes Tim, I discovered that very quickly, because unless the tripod is absolutely vertical, or as in the heron shot above, the hide shelf onto which it was clamped, then as you pan round what was nicely horizontal, stops being nicely horizontal, but loosening the lens collar allows you to correct for it.

Worth every penny!!

Low Pass

Quote: Now here is a challenge for next - how about a panning shot of its low pass to get the background a blur? Great capture BTW.

Damn! Now I'm going to have to book again!
