A side by side comparison of Ocellated and Fawn Darners. Note the following differences:
1) Ocellated generally lacks dark pigment at the base of the wings.
2) Ocellated tends to be more gray and Fawn more brown, but this can vary with age and other factors
3) Ocellated has lerger pale spots on sides of abdomen. In this case the anterior and posterior parts of the spot are about the same size, wherein with Fawn the anterior spot tends to be smaller.
4) It's not shown in this photo, but female Ocellated have much shorter cerci than Fawn. See: homepage.mac.com/edlam/dragonflyroad/boyeria.html
In NH, Ocellated Darners appear limited to the northern part of the state, with a few also in the western highlands (so far just Sullivan Co.). Fawn Darners are pretty much everywhere, with the possible exception of the immediate coast (where there may not be enough river habitat - but someone should check in 2011!).
After shooting the Figure on my very slow film, I then switched cameras and shot on this film.
Things were the other away around and I had to use a Neutral Density Filter.
Nikon F55.
Agfa Vista plus 200
Mcfarlane Figure, from the Walking Dead.
In my continued quest to rid myself of arachnophobia, I've started to capture the critters and photograph them! Believe me, this is a big step!! Before I photographed dead ones haha!
This is a male tegenaria domestica...you can tell by their palps (those little things hanging from it's face, females don't have the "boxing gloves on theirs)
I am so sorry if you have arachnophobia...this picture has probably made you look frantically around your room...and you feel itchy. Sorry!! :-D
These were done with a macro filter attached to my normal lens...it's not ideal, but it's good enough for now.

Comparison of M27 done in wideband LRGB with conservative processing, wideband RGB with contrast masking and extreme stretching, and narrowban Ha/Oiii+wideband green using contrast masking and extreme stretch.
Panels 1 and 2 utilize the same RGB data, panel 3 uses the same green data as 1&2
On the right is a Bulb Flash I can't identify. It's connector and logo make me think it pre-dates the one on the left and it has a bulb adaptor allowing it to use 2 different types of bulb, unlike the other. It also has a Power Light.
A screen shot comparing my photo to a photo of a Lesser Canada Goose by David Sibley (in my photo, I moved the Canada Goose on the right closer to the Lesser Canada Goose).
