I reckon that something hatched from these things I found at a local beach on low tide, but have no idea what. They are basically made of sand.

I have been a fair weather friend around here lately, but am going to try to be more active in the new year. In the meantime, we had a birthday yesterday. Candlelit photos are my fav.

Just got a new flash setup. Had a commander unit and radio flashes for my Sony but they were a PITA to use. Worked fine in manual mode, but was never able to get the commander unit to make changes to the remotes as advertised and the UI on the remotes kind of sucked--not intuitive at all and forced me to pull out the (crappy) manual if I hadn't used them in a bit. Sony released some radio flashes earlier this year and I decided to try them. Loving them so far. Very easy to control the remotes from the commander. Very easy and intuitive to use both in TTL mode and manual mode (can easily and intuitively adjust settings on the remotes from the commander unit on the camera).
A very long-winded introduction to today's pic of one of my cats where I used a remote flash bounced off the ceiling.

I love these framed shots of yours.

Cheers. The Graduated filter helped a lot. Usually when I have tried these in the past, you blow the highlights or have too much shadow on the frame.Thank you

I think it is probably a good idea to get a longer lens rather than getting closer to the subject on this occasion?
Nice shot.

That's it for 2017 for me. See you all in the new year...
Not a great shot but it's really nice to see my mum happy at Xmas after many years of not being so.

Found this small (30mm long) Dragonfly nymph emerging from its exoskeleton this morning in one of our frog ponds. Dragonflies can have up to thirteen stages of emergence as they grow. Have been watching and capturing its development as it has grown out its wings and body in an amazing transformation. Guess what I'm posting images of over the next few days?
