A story: My colleague, specialised in butterfly photography, recommended a natural reserve. On a nice day I decided to leave early from work, go to the reserve, leaving the family alone at home. I concentrated on the butterfly: I was happy it even put itself in a better position: It then...

Bird of prey, missed the montly assignment, The same place as on the hay roll above: It was sitting near the road so I could hide in traffic.

Bad picture, but learning moment: So one evening when I was looking for macro subjects between some meadows I noticed a fox. I did not have the gear on me to try to take a picture, so I let it it run. When I drove away I saw it was still hanging around, so I figured it was the fox main...

Same day Thistel and the red bee: Bird of prey, so I see this bird regularly when driving home. So one night I parked a bit further and tried to approach it calmly next to the bushes, but I did not get any decent picture before it flew away. Driving home I saw the thistles had flowers, so...

Near the Belgian head office this is growing in the fountain, good I was working the weekend and could lay down on the ground. (Actually facing a Nikon building)

A little help from a friend:

Work, a few days of holiday and internet connection issues make that I stop with mentioning the days. Will post some daily pictures when I come to it. This was a handheld 500mm:

Day 140: 500 mm in box, the integrated lenshood was blocked so it did not fit in the box when I got it, got that solved, even if the hood is still too stiff to be practical.

Day 139: 500mm +70-200 & TC2

Day 138: Bird of pray, still very far away, very big crop. Day 137 just too much work.

Day 136: aircraft exif 700mm f6,3 1/400s ISO 250 => OK got the ISO wrong and thus the shutter speed was too low, but impressed with my 700mm f6,3 P.S.: No vignetting on the lens, I just found the sky to boring, had to do something with it.

Day 135 Bud

Day 134: Flowers Day 133: I did not get the Nikon out.

Day 132: Audi R8 LMS in VLM race.

Day 131: Poppy, I missed a bird of pray, yet again

Day 130: Daizy, I missed the bird of pray, again.

Day 129: Church and castle, the view was better from the road, but could not get the same safely.

Day 128: Dry thistle, I had seen some new thistles almost in flower, so I went to this place where I had seen thistles before, but only found this dry one.
