cbimages Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 From my first submission of more bugs and beasties A tiny leafhopper nymph with an ant drinking the excess honeydew which is being excreted. I must admit to being pretty excited to have caught this. A blowfly A docile dragonfly A group of Sawfly Larvae 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Are those bugs gonna get into my Tex-Mex veggie lunch in NYC? (Carol and Gen, two more super camera-tooting women!) Edited January 7, 2022 by Ed Rooney 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbimages Posted January 9, 2022 Author Share Posted January 9, 2022 Another few bugs and beasties from me. Some different sawfly larvae (these are not caterpillars) A reasonably docile dragonfly, but one shot and it was gone Sex in the bushes, not the best background, but hey, I was happy to get a couple of shots, before they flew off, still joined. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) While purging my stock of older images I came across some JPGs, dating back to the early 2000s, for which I couldn't find a raw file. Thinking back, those were the days of a Canon 20D and DVDs, and I still have the DVDs. Here's a shot, of the fire being dumped from a steam loco, dating back to 2006. I've a friend who volunteers for a local heritage railway, and, on seeing the photo, said that he had done that job on that very loco, and that it was very unpleasant ! Sadly the engine in question is out of action needing a heavy overhaul and there is no money available to carry out the work.

Ed Rooney Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 'Fancy' was an adjective not a verb and not a question, I'm afraid. Sorry, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Beastall Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Thanks Paulette and Cecile. Yes it was a great day shooting these old vintage car up close and in such poor weather conditions. A challenge at times trying to keep your equipment dry from the rain and mud. I agree, using B&W for some subjects can be the best option showing the full drama of the event where colour can be a distraction. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbimages Posted January 22, 2022 Author Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) A few from the latest bug batch. The first couple for Gen...... A winged Arkys spider, size of a 1 cent piece. Absolutely flat and looked like a discoloured spot on the leaf, until I realised it was too uniform. A beautiful Orb Weaver spider, she's just moulted and still attached to her exoskelton by a silk thread. A difficult shot in that she was in the middle of a massive web, and I did not want to touch any strands and scare her. A female damselfly And my favourite find.....a katydid nymph, the most amazing colours. Edited January 22, 2022 by cbimages 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
