Vincent 2015 as often as possible

[mikew_RIP]

I generally do not like pictures with an overview of flowers, so I thought about it when I saw these and concluded 2 sticking out which I could use on points of the rule of thirds:

Not clear how this is called in composition, but if you find anchor points for the rule of thirds I think it works.

It works if you like it the rest of us are just passengers

A bee (should have used flash, but did not bother to take it, now slow shutter and moving head )

A fly I have the impression f20 and missing DOF:

Even when it was too far away sitting down, sharing a lesser shot:

Testing my new 600mm, loving it:

This is on a dangerous roundabout, when I passed with my 600mm I finally could take something OK:

Test with telephoto and light set-up, fluffy bird shot:

 

[Vincent]

Bird reserve where many migrating birds stop, this is near Schengen the town known for free circulation of EU citizens.



I had chosen to use the A7s with the 600mm + Kenko TC2 (Pixel peeping shows this is not super as combination), you will see from the high ISO, it was early in the morning on a cloudy day.

It did not take long till the geese flew away, could have done better on that one I believe, handheld TC2 + 70-200mm f2.8 on D7000.



Would have been better to do D7000 + 600mm.

Between flocks of geese crossing over:

I was working more on autumn lately, but a lot was too optimistic, handheld with very high ISO. Really need tripods then, this one came out well:

Drops on top of berries, cloudy day:

I was looking for deer, I had one very close, but on the other side of the bushes, also missed some birds taking off from a nearby water reserve. While waiting I took this:

An autumn leave:

Visited my partner`s aunt and uncle who live at the coast, even the more simple sheds give a great photo opportunity:

Just posting something, a bit behind on processing:

A series, a cormorant had fished and was struggling with the prey, when a large seagull tried to take the prey from the cormorant:
