The start of what promises to be a hot day.. (Larger)

 

I haven't posted one of these in a while, so I hope you'll forgive me :-)

 

Panorama created from 2 images combined in Photoshop CS3.

 

Metadata geekery alert: Interestingly enough, Photoshop CS3 combines common EXIF elements from the panorama sub-images. Nice work, Adobe!

  

Rather a nice day for it, and the ability to do it on my Touchpad. Yay!

At least I think it is.

 

I was glad to see it as it was just too hot to go walking to take photos of birds.

Yesterday's butterfly was this big Cloudless sulphur visiting our encore azaleas. They love red flowers. Looks like some kind of nymph was enjoying them too. One shaft of light through the trees in our front yard lit them up.

Cloudless Sulphur female (Phoebis sennae eubule) on Turk's Cap (Malvaviscus arboreus var drummondii). That's a mouthful.

We are seeing a lot of cloudless sulphurs migrating through now.

or maybe an Orange-barred Sulphur female butterfly?

They tell me of a home of an uncloudy day ... and its not here!

Sunset over Singapore

 

Just one of those photos where you're at the right place at the right time. The hot cloudless day helped develop the dramatic colours from the usually dull skies over Singapore.

It is surprising how often the lake is free of boats, or has just one or two. I thought these lone fishermen added a lot to the sense of serenity here---Lake Guntersville late on an October afternoon

nectaring on Pentas lanceolata "red." 5 days before xmas, there were 4 of these fluttering about the yard today. hummingbirds and these guys are why i haul a few flowering plants in/out during the winter ;)

ambient light, no flash. ;)

These are about all that I've been seeing lately...no Monarchs, Spicebushes, Tigers or Gulfs. I have spotted a few Buckeyes and many Skippers. Photographed in the Dixon Gardens, Memphis, Tennessee.

Cloudless Sulphur female

 

If ever I had a doubt, today provided confirmation...these critters are really difficult to photograph well. Or maybe I'm just lame. I ain't tellin' how many exposures it took me to get to this. --MIchael

Some common butterflies from our hike at the base of the Hellshire hills.

Winston-Salem, North Carolina

 

This cloudless sulphur, or phoebis sennae, reminded me of the white cabbage butterflies I used to see in Asia in my childhood, but much larger. They are more common in the warmer parts of the Americas so I guess I was lucky to see one here in the Carolinas. I later found out that the one in this photo was likely a female due to its greenish tinge and the spots on the wings.

A rare cloudless midnight is so irresistible for a star trails shot, despite that I was on a sleeping debt.

 

Stacked from 365*20s, that's 2+ hours of mechanically clicking the remote shuttle release button. Not much of fun, though.

 

The result is some what OK. I have no idea what's caused the wave-like pattern in the middle of trails. I suppose that I might have pressed the blower too hard when blowing the camera during shooting.

DUSTED

It was cloudless today and I was hoping to get the moonrise. But I saw what I thought was a dust cloud and shot that instead. When I reviewed the photo I saw the light on the mid-left and realized it was probably a truck that created the dust.

Living out my annual tradition of photographing the city from the CNE ferris wheel.

I used a 300mm lens - it came out pretty good.
