So what can you tell me about Dragonflies? I first saw this one around 1:30pm today yet it was still sitting there at 4:30pm. Someone on Facebook said they migrate and stop to take a rest. This one was very, very small. Its body was maybe 1/16" thick. The only difference I made was to slightly...

I'm curious if anyone has ever tried the dispersion effect like this video explains. If you have, I'd like to see your images. :) It definitely looks interesting.

Another one of the Great Egret from Tuesday.

Great Egret

I must have missed this thread. My favorite for July is this dragonfly that followed me. It flew right in front of me trying to get my attention before landing on a plant. After I took a few pics, I walked away only to have to fly in front of me again - and making me stop - then it landed on...

Today I finally purchased a small, portable softbox. While I was leaning towards the Photix Raja 26" softbox, ultimately I decided on the Glow EZ Lock 25" Silver Beauty Dish instead. After comparing the reviews, it seems the Photix creates a hot spot since it lacks a beauty dish. I also opted...

This is a series I took last week when I saw the Green Heron. I hope no one is about ready to eat! ;)

Lol - how about the Green Heron's kitchen? ;)

Was surprised to be able to get so close to this Green Heron. It walked closer to me while hunting for food. Only cropped a little. Tried to be in a position where the light would somewhat fall on its face. Center-weighted metering with +0.7 over exposure to compensate for the bright water. I...

Here's an interesting, yet sad, story of a wedding photographer who took and edited photos then lost everything in a fire. No offsite backup. The photographer offered a 90% refund saying he spent the time taking and editing the images despite the couple not getting anything. Just wondering what...

And nearby, several wild turkeys made an appearance. It's the first time I've ever seen any.

It's been a while since I posted. Yesterday I came across these very large fungi on the grounds of Pennsbury Manor (former homestead of William Penn). After posting in a local Facebook group, a few people said these fungi can adversely affect the roots of trees and tend to grow near older trees...

A longtime tradition here in the USA is to serve Turkey for a Thanksgiving meal. Whether this one will ever make it to a table is anyone's guess since it is wild and roaming freely - on the grounds of William Penn's former homestead. ;)

"Books" (nestor.stura's choice) Books: books, bookstores, libraries, etc. What can you come up with for books? DO NOT SHOOT OR POST IMAGES UNTIL WEDNESDAY July 30 This early announcement of the topic is to give a little think time, before the challenge begins. Photos must be taken and...

"Caring, caregiver or an act of compassion." There is too much negative going on in the world today, so let's get something positive going. It can be an act of showing compassion or an act of caring toward an animal, person, etc. Be creative with how you capture your subject. It's all up to...
