This unmistakeable silhouette of a Darter or Snake Bird, in this case the Anhinga melanogaster , an Australian variety, was photographed late on a winter afternoon along the Fisherman’s Moorings in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia. With the setting sun out of frame, I exposed for a full silhouette with B&W in mind. Fuji S5500: f/9 @ 1/640sec, ISO 100, Spot Metering, gave me the desired exposure and sharp silhouette. / Lightroom & Photoshop CS3 with a good B&W conversion rendered the final result.

Taken with a Canon 400D, Tamron 90mm prime lens, F11 shutter speed 1/30 second ISO400, edited in Photoshop Length: 38-43mm A summer and autumn species, this dragonfly can be found well into November and may be one of the last on the wing in the UK.

The legs are black with a diagnostic yellow stripe along their length. / The males become a bright orange-red with maturity. Females have a pale, yellowish-brown abdomen often developing red markings along the segment boundaries and medial line as they age. Please view large

Sorry about the title but I just could not resist the parody of that iconic song ‘There is a Season’ by The Byrds. These three Sterna bergii (Crested Terns) and their outstanding companion, Anhinga novaehollandiae (Darter), were photographed while taking shelter on their rocky perch at Shelley Beach , Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia, on a very grey, very damp winter day. Both species are Australian native seabirds and very common around the Port Macquarie beaches and estuaries. I found that I could get to within fifteen to twenty feet (5-7m) from these seabirds before they became twitchy and that by leaning against a large rock I was quite able to hold the camera firmly enough for the relatively slow shutter speed required for the exposure. Fuji S5500: f/9 @ 1/38sec, ISO 100, Chrome colour setting. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3. Visit the Aussie Birds collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fine feathered friends.

I spotted this fine specimen of an Australian Anhinga melanogaster (Darter) drying itself out on the rocks along the breakwater in Port Macquarie , NSW, Australia on a winter afternoon. I got as close as I could without the bird twitching and nailed it in lovely light with a good sharp eye. The shot was made with my old workhorse the Fuji S5500 with the colour setting to Chrome, which emulates Fuji Velvia film. Not bad detail for a 4Mp camera. Fuji S5500: f/4 @ 1/340sec, -1EC, ISO 100, hand held. / Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3 for very minimal tweaking.

UPDATE: 8-12-09 / My dashing Darter was awarded a MERIT in the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club’s November 2009 Open and Set Subject Print and Digital Competition in the Digital Colour section.

Taken with a Canon 50D, Tamron 90mm lens, F2.8, shutter speed 1/400 second ISO200, edited in Photoshop Whilst walking around the Pensthorpe nature reserve we saw many wonderful dragonflies, this guy was very cooperative and posed for me!! The Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae native to Eurasia. It is one of the most common dragonflies in Europe, occurring in a wide variety of water bodies, though with a preference for breeding in still water such as ponds and lakes. Adults are on the wing from June until November – occasionally into December. (Wikipedia) Please view large

We are lucky to live in the country and have had many of these gorgeous insects in our garden.

Shot of a male Common Darter (Sympetrum striolatum) dragonfly, taken at Gedling House Woods, in Gedling, Nottingham, UK. I used my sigma 170-500mm lens, set at 500mm, for this shot. The idea being to throw the background out of focus, because it was very messy, due to the vegetation being cut back. And I think I’ve achieved a fairly decent result.
