Rockpool
August 2017

A long exposure image of a tidal rockpool under the post-sunset glow at Dally Bay, Rhinns of Galloway. I plan on revisiting this exact spot in different weather / lighting conditions because I love the photographic potential of the reflections, shapes and lines within the scene.

Fuji X-T2 with XF 16-55mm f2.8 lens using LEE Filters Big Stopper and 0.9 Neutral Density Hard graduated filter.

2mins / f8 / ISO 200

Can't really compete with all of the recent flower and bug pictures but I figured I would join in the fun nonetheless.

I forget your in Spring as we enter Autumn. I'm surprised by how much you managed to get in focus with 31mm of extension rings. Nicely done.

Again a lovely image.
[doublepost=1502730403][/doublepost]Similar to one from a couple of days back but a darker PP and a blurred car rather than the scooter.

Prefer this one as it hasnt got the two guys fighting in the alleyway either... - I know... but at first glance I thought it was two blokes going at each other because of the photogs stance.

Speaks volumes about my hometown eh?!?! It isnt as bad as that. The only time it is like that is when there is at least one of the following involved... religion, drink or football

An Almond Blossom from yesterday, where I got eaten alive by ants, whilst taking this. They were all over me, right up onto my neck even! Must have looked funny to the family playing on the playground adjoining where I was.

Canon 6D, Tamron 90mm macro, 31mm extension tube, flash and handheld again because of the wind.

 

[akash.nu]

Just because everyone is posting flowers. Thought I'd try my luck.

Thanks, it's the one benefit of shooting macro with the full frame camera, I guess, that you get more DOF with it than with a crop body. This was at f/16, the sweet spot for flowers and objects of this sort of size.
