For “Macro Mondays” - theme : “Dutch Angle” .

another angle ....

Same sky as previous but taken from different angle and no lovers to see.

The angles of the knowledge triangle are therefore well established.

From a time we were free to roam.

After the wasted day yesterday we decided to head all the way back to our previous good location even though it was nowhere near Frasers Hill That at least was a good decision, and also the last good day for me of the trip for seeing things.

This was my only sighting of this nice skipper, seen just before a closed gate that blocked the track for vehicles.

Of the lonely tree with the water quite high after the rain and a lone duck coming towards us.

The lighting on this was fairly simple. A single SB-24 on 1/16 power aimed at the white paper background behind the glasses. The glasses were on a tilted platform and the camera was tilted at the same angle. See the comments for the setup shots.

A little tribute to the Dutch angle

Looking for inspiration... found this scene in the local allotments - with my wide angle lens and low position, I quite like the perspective offered.

I had the great pleasure of watching this green heron fish for quite a while last night. It was very successful, as seen here snacking on an orange-spotted sunfish. Interestingly, green herons are one of the few bird species known to use tools. They will create a lure out of bread, insects, feathers, etc, and drop it on the water's surface to lure small fish. Here it just let the dam do the work, and waited patiently for dinner!

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I loved that it looked like this keen photographer was almost about to topple backwards while trying to capture the perfect angle. She is snapping away at the most photographed statue in Glasgow, Wellington on horseback which is a Glaswegian icon due to the regularly moved traffic cone that adorns him, or the horse, or the horse's buttocks, sitting straight, or at a jaunty angle... and so on. Oddly, I have never photographed it directly myself!
