Got the bug!
Am I obsessive?
Camera shutter worn out!
Computer suffering overload!
Did I take another 500 photos today?
Back up falling behind? :(
Can’t decide what to upload?
Bird flew away!
I missed the shot again! :(
Stick to slow moving subjects! :)
Yes that’s me!

    Oh I ADORE dragonfly’s :)))) You’re such a smarty pants!! FABULOUS image here Gabe :))

  • Hi Di, thanks buddy! :) Yes I saw this dragonfly late afternoon, getting close to dark. He was settling for the night. I had never seen a golden one before in the garden but Kiri tells me we have them. News to me! LOL! Anyways, I’ve been practicing my macro with flash photography. I got a few good shots too of caterpillars.

  • Thank you my friend, I was trying out my macro with flash photography. I’m getting better. I found this little fella just before dark over near my potting tables. I didn’t think we had gold ones in the garden but Kiri tells me I’m wrong. LOL! Geez, kids???? :(

    haha great to know there are kids out there who still notice things in nature,most won’t leave the teli set lol… well done to Kiri ! l can even see the little hairs on his body and across his nose (if it is known as a nose on a dragonfly ),its an awesome shot

  • Hehehhe! Yes Kiri now has taken off with my macro lens and I have to fight her for it. Hey speaking of close-ups and hairy noses on dragonflies, I found the most fantastic Dragonfly macro, it’s totally amazing. Have you seen Gareth Jones’s photograph of a dragonfly head? Oh wow, I’ve never seen anything like it, it’s number one! :)
