Watching Hobbies catch Dragonflies is great fun and until today I had only seen it at medium or high level. Well, that all changed today when one Hobby made one low level pass right infront of the hide I was in at SWT Westhay.
1. Hobby spots in prey and turns to dive down.
2. Hobby drops down below the reeds and towards the water
3. Down and a few feet off the water
4. Closing in on the dragonfly
5. Caught and eating dragonfly
All over in a few incredible seconds and I'm still smiling
Problems, The photos are not exposured correctly and all are slightly soft so I need to go back to the camera manual to work out how to get the best from my 7DMk2. In particular, the rapidily changing light conditions from a white sky, reeds, and reflective water proved to be a real issue. Also I normally use the 10frames per second in very short bursts. For this Hobby I kept the button pressed and therefore it wasn't possible to see the bird in the viewfinder. So I had a few problems staying will the Hobby. Plenty to think about before the next time.

Back in the early '90s, my then-boyfriend and I were traveling to San Diego in July. By the time we got to Yuma, it was hot, glaringly bright, and the A/C couldn't keep up. By the time we got to El Centro, it was brighter (2pm) and hotter. (120 deg F) I was fading fast. Then, it was the sight of this fertilizer tank, with the words, "sea level", marked with a line half way up the tank, that made me feel like I was about to dry up and blow away out the window. "Below sea level!!!" I exclaimed in disbelief. I felt like I was sinking down into Hell, taking all the heat with me. At the time, we were attending college up at 7,000 feet altitude, so it was quite a difference from everyday life!
The boyfriend became the husband a few years later, and last week, we came by this way again, with the kiddos. Thank goodness it was January instead of July! Husband pulled off I-8, and found the dirt road along the fence line, so I could get my pinhole of the tank. Two employees road up in their little golf cart, leery of what we were doing. We excused ourselves as crazy tourists, taking a picture of their fertilizer tank, with a metal can. I can't believe they bought it!

ps for Husband: Yes, I concede- the tank is on the ((left)) side of the freeway!

Well I must say I was shocked at the scale of the flooding in the Somerset Levels after a trip up there last week. I have nothing but sympathy for everyone effected by the floods there and everywhere else in the UK for that matter - awful.

The level crossing next to the station at Frinton-On-Sea, Essex. Just a snapshot through the window of a moving coach, so a bit of reflection visible.

I lay down on the ground to shoot this. Very proud of myself for managing to get up by myself!
I took more shots today than I have taken in forever. And I loved doing it. Maybe I'm back.

The dogs and I had a run out to the Levels today and met Joy and Graham. Not much wildlife to be seen but a lovely day for a walk.
This series of photos was made for the Level magazine of Paraguay. For the winter edition 2007.

In the past 4 days I made two trips to Chicago O’Hare International Airport and each time I parked in the massive parking garage. It is actually quite easy to find your car if you remember these 2 important things, the level you parked on and the elevator center you used. Even though I had to learn this the hard way, I look back and have a good laugh at my misadventure.
My story. In years past I would typically leave someone off or pick them up at the terminal to avoid having to park. A few years ago I decided to park in the garage for the first time. I parked my car and walked over to the elevators. All over the elevator center was plastered the logo of a Chicago sports team. I thought, this should be easy to remember. To return to my car, all I need to do is take the elevator to the level giving tribute to this Chicago sports team.
A short time later as I was heading back to my car, I stopped at the first elevator terminal (my first mistake). Upon entering the elevator I went to press the button to go to the “sports” level and froze. What!?!? Every level was labeled with a different Chicago team! Which one was it, Cubs, Sox, Bulls, Blackhawks, Bears, or Wolves? I realized that finding my car was going to be a challenge. The short story: There are 9600 parking spots on 6 levels with multiple elevator centers accessing each level. After an hour and a half and several miles walking, I finally decided to humble myself and ask for help.
Now I just keep track of the level and the elevator center number, and snap a few photos to compensate for my "sometimes challenged" short term memory. It is so easy!
This might have been a half decent shot if it wasn't for the vegetation, poor light and uninspiring traction.

New camera new photo attempt. Same lighting setup as last time but the photos came out a little better this time (more over all light captured, though still some light and focus balancing issues), still need to get more practice with the new camera. With how large this moc is and its color scheme the only way I may get real good photos is outside on an over cast day (not likely to happen with this moc) or with good convention hall lighting.
