This rather accommodating Darter, perched above the mighty Murray River, posed for a few frames before taking flight. Easy to see why they are also known as snakebird!
Two shot composite of a dart spiraling to the bullseye. I thought it was interesting how the bristle board threw debris on impact. Lit with a single SB-600 snooted with 12 inches of black paper taped to a 3" diameter to create a tight circle of light on the board.
Thanks to my buddy Charles for being uber patient and having to throw back to back bulls when everything was finally set.
This would have been so much easier if I had 2 or even 3 strobes so the dart could be lit from a different angle.
All these 7 shots of balloons was taken 1 frame at a time, not set on multi shot, for each one i had to throw the dart 7 times. i know it can be hit of miss but i had more hits than misses, lucky i guess. The shots were taken in my garage as the water can make a bit of a mess. I mounted my nikon SLR with 90mm Tamron lens on a tripod fitted with a cable release, the backdrop was a piece of black velvet to stop the light shining on the background from the flash which was a tripod to the left of the balloon an a projector screen on the other side to throw the light back on the other side.Placed a bowl to catch the water, then all i did was throw the dart and press the cable release and there you have it. TIP: leave water in balloon for at least 3 days to stop the balloon from splitting too quickly
I liked this one he was a very cheery individual, loved the smile :o)
A Common Darter looking very contented. I was also happy to get this stack of one with the head at a slight tilt. I'm really hoping the weather is better this weekend, I spent Sunday morning sitting in a local café watching drivers attempting to drive through a flooded road, great fun.
Anyway, thought I'd better upload something, kind of going through a creative lull at the moment, so apologies for lack of activity on Flickr :o)

Fleet No: 37327
Registration: YY15 OWR
Chassis: ADL Dart SLF 4
Bodywork: ADL Enviro 200
Livery: Stagecoach Hastings Arrows
Route: Arrows 22A Hollington - Ore
Notes: Last of its type delivered new to Stagecoach.
Last one of its kind in the Dart fleet. 2006 Orion 07.501 working the Route 60. Downtown Des Moines in the background.
Im unsure of the exact type of Darter this is, found on the beach at Boca Do Rio, there were hundreds!! In fact I have never seen so many dragons in one place and they all seemed to be taunting me because guess who left her macro lens at home :-(
I've been in the bus industry for some 47 years, and if there is one thing I should have learned in that time, its when to pull the plug on something! The problem is that you feel you have an idea what a bus might require to restore it to use, set off down the path of doing necessary work, but then find more that needs doing . . . and more . . . and more! At that point, you either go forward with it, sucking the financial mop, or you end up with a very expensive piece of scrap.
To cut a very long story short, I'm now the proud owner of a Dart which owes me over double its worth on a good day to a keen purchaser. Its the economics of the mad house.
Ok, the bus has long outasted its intended design life, but it brought it home to me just what a state the modern generation of preservationists will be in as their favoured bus dissolves around them . . . if the electronics don't snuff out their dreams first.
I think its fair to say that only 75% of the chassis under my Dart is that which Dennis put there, the remaining 25% is Reliance Bus Works. Finally today it gained a new MoT though.
Thanks to all who choose to comment/fav etc,.....Much appreciated.
Common Darter - Sympetrum striolatum
Young Common darter, Sympetrum striolatum = bruinrode heidelibel. They become more dull to bright orange-red with age. At Wilson Waters, Aberdeenshire.
Indian Darter (Ahinga melanogaster) is a resident in Sri Lanka. An adult. Belongs to Ahingidae family. Clicked at Kumana National Park, Sri Lanka.
The vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum), also known as the moustached darter - like this female - is one of the most common dragonfly species in Sweden, Two other sdpecies are quite similar though, the ruddy darter and the common darter.
The ruddy darter is the easiest to tell apart because it has completely black legs but the other two both have yellow stripes on their legs.
The tell is how much yellow there is. The common darter has a thinyellow stripe while Mrs. Vagrant Darter here has significantly more yellow on her stockings.
The alternative name, "moustached darter", indicates another tell which isn't visible from this angle - they have a black marking underneath the eyes which is a bit moustachey.

Messingham nature reserve, North Lincolnshire.
The back seemed much better this morning so I made a visit to my local patch. Only stayed three hours but pleased to say my back stood up to it ok.
Likely a young male vagrant darter (Sympetrum vulgatum)
Wahrscheinlich ein junges Männchen der gewöhnlichen Heidelibelle (Sympetrum vulgatum)
