Old Man of Storr, Isle of Skye

You can get star trails even in cities with lots of light pollution. About 18 mo ago, I took photos at night in Sydney. I didn't get as many star trails as I had hoped for but did get lots of plane trails.

 

I tried again later this time after the planes stop flying in and out of Sydney's main airport at 11 pm. I also used a different lens. The only problem I had was it was quite windy which caused a bit of camera shake even though the camera was on a tripod. At least I did not have to worry about dew on the camera or lens. This image is a composite of 113 photos.

Dragonflies are attracted to this wire fence as it is in the sun and gets hot!

In the gardens at Farm Lator in north east Hungary.

 

This was an unexpected find, taking a look around the pond in the garden trying to catch a glimpse of the raft spiders when I noticed these two emerging, just out of shot there are two more clambering up the stem from the water below.

 

The biggest problem was trying to get them both in the same focal plane, not helped by a light breeze, needless to say I took a large number of shots over a period of an hour as they both slowly emerged from their larval casings.

 

Can't be sure which species they are other than Chasers, there were a few adults on the wing which looked very much like Broad bodied Chasers to me.

 

Best viewed very large.

"TABOR 21 flight" about to land on RWY 24 @ RAF Lakenheath....

When no matter how hard you try...you cannot get a clean shot, I liked the scene anyway! An expected location that offered more than most on this particular outing.

 

'A step to the left would be more balanced' you say...I reply, 'Half an inch to the left and I'd be drowning.'

I tried (moving...not drowning)
