A candid photo of a local worker in Silves, Portugal.
I added a little atmosphere and intrigue to the photo. I love the little details. For instance, that the man is wearing a mask of Zorro Tee. It just adds to the cinematic feel.

Playing with macro and my extension tubes again. Went out in my backyard where there's a little stream and tried to get some close up shots of water striders. They don't stay still for you, so you kind of have to wait and shoot a lot. I did get a couple shots in focus but I liked this one best. I like how you can see the water tension on their legs. Again, it's pretty cool seeing this macro world close up so I'm definitely enjoying this little adventure into the world benieth us.

Common pond skater or common water strider, nymph | Kūdrinis čiuožikas, nimfa | Gerris lacustris (Linnaeus, 1758). Gerridae
This is one of those little insects you see zooming across the top of ponds like skimmed stones. In the UK we often call them Pond Skaters, but they're also called Water Striders. This is a Common Pond Skater (Gerris lacustris). It has sensitive hairs on its legs that locate prey that have got caught in the water surface tension. It then grabs them with those short front legs and sucks out the poor insect's juices with a tough beak it has tucked underneath its body.

Shawn Hash, the owner of Tangent Outfitters got together with Luke Hopkins, the Stride Standup Paddleboard owner and designer and the two of them came up with a whole new way to go hunting.
Shawn has proven the versatility of the Stride Airlite BC. BC stands for Blast and Cast...or hunting and fishing.
What makes the Airlite BC a new craft of choice for hunters and fisherman is because of the versatility of the platform design, the attachments for the gun bag, rod holder, kayak seat, the low profile design as a sneak boat, and the incredible innovation of it's super ridge and super durable inflatable technology.
