1. Well, in all respect, you're plain stupid if you critizise this:



    It's effin' perfect in my humble opinion.
  2. I can't tell what it is, but I assume it's the barrel of my camera reflecting in the water drops The water makes for some messed up reflections, upside down, inside out, back to front. It's hard to tell. Is the background shown in the drop or is it acting as some messed up mirror?

    Just little things like that
  3. You can see a shade of black perhaps the camera but needless to say, a very cool photo, easily publish it!
  4. Thanks Buttons

    With regards to that photo, I was out in the garden tonight and the secturity light was on, since it was dark, and it made this photo potentially so much better. A lot of sparkle in the droplets. Might go out tomorrow night see what I can get.
  5. I've taken some interesting pics today. I got a wasp sting but it was worth it I think

  6. Of the sting? haha it's in an awful place to take pics at, just close to the tip of my elbow it doesn't hurt me much at the moment but it looks really bad. You don't want pics of it, trust me.

    The interesting pics will be uploaded later or tomorrow, as I have a lot of things to do tonight!
  7. There's a growing community of lovely, super-cute kitties in my street. They hang around on the morning and I still have to get decent pics of them (I won't get my ass off the chair though, I'll the zoom work for me), but I got a nice secquence today:



    This was the youngest and he couldn't climb up the wall. He wandered for a while and then I lost sight of it... I hope he/she is fine
  8. And now the painful stuff




    They aren't beautiful, but I'm always fascinated by all kinds of insects and arachnids. They look just too perfect and complex.

    Interesting way of presenting the photographs, sort of like a storyboard. Great capture in the second image, with the cat on the wall But that poor little cat, sitting in the shade knowing he can't make the wall, then left to wander alone I don't like cats though

    Second set on the lavender? I like the first one the most, it's a lot less cluttered and the focus is attractive too. Worth getting stung for? Maybe...

    Just noticed the remark about insects - I agree, they make such interesting subjects because they're so small, compared to humans, yet so much better looking (some anyway) and much more complex. Then again, something as simple as our skin can look complex under high magnification. Lacks the colour and detail of a butterfly for example though.
  10. I know the second cat and the first wasp pics are the best Yes, the cat story left me feeling a little bad. I know I couldn't have done anything, because this cats are wilder than wild and they woulnd't let me help the little cat make it, but still I felt like taking pics wasn't the best way to act. The "war photographer syndrome" I think haha...

    And yes, I tried by best to keep focus only on the wasps and make the rest of the background look less cluttered but it didn't turn out that well on many of the pics. The ones that were the best composed (less cluttered and without motion-blurry) didn't have the wasps perfectly on focus... Those are incredible animals but they move to fast to have them on focus all the time, specially from that close-up. Difficult stuff

    There's a big spider hiding somewhere in my window's fence. It goes out sometimes but quickly hides when it sees me. I'm gonna try harder and take some closeup photos and maybe a slow motion video as well!
  11. Thanks for taking that from the wasp... maybe that is what saved me from the biggest hornet ever that I woke up with in my room.
