Nature

I thought this was buggery

[rhythmworx]

That's Weevil Goompa.

.and all this buggery because I couldn't spell "zoo" in my earlier post.

No learning some folk hey ?

No learning some folk hey ?

It's not in my nature....and with that, Rob masterfully gets the thread back on topic

[Mousehound]

That's Weevil Goompa.

Is the top one "the better of two weevils"?

Got me wishing I had a photo of a bat in a battery to complete the set... or is that in an attic.

Speaking of bats in the attic...no lets not go there after these posts.

Try a dragonfly to get things back on track.

[Goompa]

Well that one went over like a lead balloon

I thought toad bones were kinda funky , guess that's why they only let me out on the weekends ! Supervised of course

This one any better ?

Goompa...Your post #1118....some strange voodoo rituals happening at your house perhaps?!

I have to thank sunshine for the inspiration here , I have found it is not very easy to get levels right in B&W for bugs , one trip up and its Mr.Mortein !

Todays little bug with some environment

I seem to have been invaded by rather large Ladybugs lately as the look on these little guys on the left display !

There is really not a lot of substance to my posts , I suppose I am just trying to gain more understanding , and be creative .

Although there is a bug here and there and Nature nonetheless , all this is a learning curve for me , apologies to whom may be offended .

Maybe this is just some light entertainment as well to break the boredom , but realistically Photography means a lot more to me than the mere content .

We all have different agendas and different appraisals of our Photography , I can see many different genre' and the individual photographers skill to deliver their images for us all to view .

I thank each and every one of you guys for the opportunity to view your images , your photos , whether a snap shot or a well composed image , technically perfect , edited , processed , over-baked , under or over-exposed , cast in a blue hue , with or without a date stamp , horizon lines not straight , I-phone images , blurry non-recognisable with dark shadows and jpeg images taken from the Speed Train whilst crossing a bridge in Lower Mongolia type images . Thanks .

I suppose what I am trying to say is that I am an individual , I have my own style as well , it really does not make a difference to me if you like what I post , though if there is anything you don't agree with or like report or PM . Some issues have come to light recently but I will endeavour to continue with all your approval .

For some strange unnerving compulsion I look forward to this daily slice of un-reality ! I really have to talk with my GP , I do need a higher dose .

Thank you, Goomps. I prefer post-liking after I gave certain aspects more thought, or not...

Wood Wasp getting high on kerosene seeping from the lamp. We have heaps of em

& they don't bother us at all...must be the kerosene! I was chopping some chicken

up one time and one chewed a hunk (about 8mm thick) out of a chicken breast as

I was cutting and flew off with it!

28mm @ 2.0, ISO 400....

Not really in a natural environment...

I thought for sure this was concrete... but another visitor said she had seen the eye open.... Display garden Chaloclum, Koh Phangan

Not quite sure if this qualifies as a tree, or a bird which is just about to conduct it's speech to concur the world.

Red Helen, Papilio helenus........(Please correct me if I am wrong)

First time in my life that I have ever managed to capture a butterfly in flight.

It must of been a funny sight to see me darting around chasing that butterfly with the viewfinder glued to my eye.

[Rob8891]

^^ Hope you had the other eye open, to avoid trees, ponds, dogs, etc! Beautiful shot...You and Goomps are going to be going head to head in this thread, methinks! (And everyone will win with so many terrific photos to look at)

Get off your assets Goompa. You've got competition

[shaggy1969]

Get off your assets Goompa. You've got competition

First part I totally agree with,second part not! Me ole mate Goomps is lightyears ahead in any genre of photography (especially macro) as are many

of you other guys that post on the photo forum,I'm just happy to add what I can when I can to be part of this fine community.

As for keeping one eye open mate........bloody dangerous hobby is toggin,came back with a stubbed toe and a piece missing out of my shin,not to

mention the countless red ant bites,orrible little critters,but they sure know how to make you dance!

[Goompa]

Fantastic capture shaggy , I know how it feels to get the shot you have been waiting for .

Macro wildlife is not easy , sometimes you nail the shot , other times it is just a blur .

enter

I never use a tripod so many of my images are somewhat blurry , it is all about shutterspeed and dof.

Still a lot of fun though.
