Same day different spot.:)

Female Twelve-spotted Skimmer (Libellula pulchella) and her potential lunch (a.k.a. Syrphid Fly; Cheilosia albitarsis) - Penny Lane, Penny Lake Preserve, Boothbay Harbor, Maine

And speaking of "Lunch on the Fly",

dragonflies only capture prey while it is in flight.

And when I say only, I mean it, since I've seen flies sitting on flowers right in front of them, and they make no attempt to capture them until they fly away.

'Kinda like how people shoot ducks.

Same individual as this previous shot.

I was chasing Autumn Meadowhawk dragonflies in the fallen leaves near a pond at the Montreal Botanical Garden, when I unexpectedly came across this Spotted Spreadwing (Lestes congener) damselfly! It's one of my favorite species, and this individual was calm and fairly cooperative.

Usual suspects: Pentax D-FA 100mm F/2.8 WR Macro plus Raynox DCR-250, with off-camera diffused Godox V850ii flash. Six-frame handheld focus stack with EXIF from the first frame. ~20MP free crop to roughly 16:10 apect ratio.

UPDATE: Explored for Nov 7th, at #54! One of my highest Explore rankings! (And sitting at #65 as I type this.)

I have been sitting on this one for several months now. One of my Flickr friends posted a shot like this last year and ever since then I wanted to get one for myself! The Experience Music Project is located beneath the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. It is supposed to look like a giant spaceship, although it also sort of looks like a blob from above. Supposedly, no two metal panels on the skin are the same. They are different colors and some are painted. I have another shot from several years ago here:http://www.flickr.com/photos/fresnatic/3615022937/in/set-72157620727257333

I was standing near this entrance for almost 45 minutes contorting my camera on my tripod to compose this shot. I really liked how the metal formed these rivers or even waves of golden shapes.

This is three exposures (-2,0,+2) merged and tonemapped in Photomatix. I shot with my wide angle lens, around 10mm. I moved into Photoshop and removed some specks of noise. I did final sharpening and noise removal in Lightroom.

Thank you to everyone for your support. My previous two photos have hit Explore and have really brought a whole lot of new Flickr friends to my photostream. I apologize if I don't add you as a contact as I have quite a few friends that I currently follow. When I do have free time, I do like to explore my contacts' photostreams. I appreciate all of your views, comments and faves.

Flynn, out in the woods on Tuesday morning. We'd stopped for a break for a little while & when I asked Flynn "shall we carry on now?", this was the face I got. Admittedly, Flynn set off quite a lot more slowly than he used to but it's always good to see him wide-eyed & excited for adventures! He enjoyed a good old sniff around & catching up on the local canine news... before deciding that was enough walking & getting back in his buggy.

Of course, the point Flynn got in the buggy was also the point where the path went from flat to a steep downhill slope. He's not a tiny dog (25kg/55lb) & the buggy is pretty large. Safely getting him down a steep, stony, leaf/stick/dirt covered track was... interesting. I had visions of slipping, losing my grip on the buggy & Flynn going for a very fast ride into the bushes at the bottom of the slope! Luckily, part way, a nice lady appeared & offered help! Isn't it wonderful meeting kind strangers? Things were much easier with two of us! Apparently even Flynn appreciated her kindness because he's not a dog who generally acknowledges strangers but once we were back on flat ground, he demanded to be let out, seemingly specifically in order to go say hello to her!

Unfortunately, that same evening Flynn seemed slightly off-colour & given how fast he's gone downhill lately, I decided a vet visit was needed Wednesday. Flynn's gone back on antibiotics - sooner than I'd hoped - but we want to get ahead of whatever is going on with him. Gah, I don't know, the vets must be sick of the sight of us both! He's still got some symptoms a few days on but the meds have prevented him getting worse at least & hopefully another few days will see active improvement again. Bless him, Flynn's being such a good little patient.

same bike ride.

Same picture as already taken with the Canon AE-1 (took both at the same time) but this time on 120.

Same as the last shot, but from a slightly different angle. A few slight adjustments in Snapseed.

Same night different take . Lucky strobing .

Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH

Same script as my last upload: Foreground rocks, still reflective lake and a backdrop of snowcapped peaks (are they fells, hills or mountains? I'm never sure...). This time the location is Derwentwater on a November morning that started a wee bit misty and ended crystal clear.

A selection of my images are now available to purchase at James Bell's site here and at Getty

Photographing in nature is meditative. I feel that the process is one way I can truly lose myself and leave behind some of the weight of these days (which is so very needed!). I hope my images can do the same for someone else.

Northern Montana - in May!

The Lower Pond , Swansea Vale.

Same time and place as the last photo, my daughter snorkeling over the drop off point

Two EMD SD70Ms wait for work at Union Pacific’s Downing B. Jenks Shop in North Little Rock, Arkansas, on May 19, 2015. No. 5090 has the “standard” SD70M cab, while sister No. 5155 is equipped with a so-called Phase II cab with the same windshields, but has a nose with sharper features and a raised center portion accommodating a full-size door—a similar look that foretold the SD70ACe.

Same procedure as every year.

We hope you all get what you wish for, we wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas.

same wood duck

Same turtle, different angle. I wanted to get as many good shots of this little guy as I could without stressing it out too much. I really didn't want this little guy to start freaking out or get dropped or anything so I snapped quickly and tried to do what I could with the results.

This guy, however, stuck out its chin and pretty much said "Give me yer best shot!"

Same spot as the night shot I posted the other day. This was taken are 7:30pm, as the sun was setting over NYC and the New World Trade Center. Because I didn't have a foreground subject, I took artistic liberties with the Hudson river.

Sunol Ca *(yes, i've taken a shot just like this before... I was surprised to see these two in the same setting as a year ago)

Same shot as previously uploaded but flipped horizontally and then flipped vertically.

Same location, different week, different time.

Same pic but edited ^^enjoy

While hiking the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail in Kauai, Hawaii.

Same location as previous shot, but different angle. More water and the construction work and castle are missing. Only the town itself seen here

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

It's been One Year I suddenly lost my beloved father from an unexpected fulminating stroke. He passed away on a Friday 13th, the worst day in my life. One year of Grieve, putting myself together, one day after the other.

It was traumatic, I've never cried as much, never hurt that much. I hadn't really learned the meaning of Despair till then. it's been a long process. He was the joy in our lives, our Anchor.

It was in the middle of a real storm, one I'd never expected, most powerful than I could've ever imagined, that I learned how strong and fragile I could be. One doesn't learn that until Darkness comes with no short notice... A water divisor I wish it hadn't happened.

I've learned a lot about myself and people in general after this.

I also learned who my real friends are, not that many, by the way, but priceless. Some stayed by my side, others revealed they weren't such good friends... and there were a few who surprised me, who checked on me from time to time to see how I was doing, offered me help, sincerely and not afraid I could accept it. I call it even.

I thank those good old friends and the new ones, for their support, compassion, their Friendship. I thank my boyfriend, my Family and my Brother, who has become our anchor.

and my Flickr friends who kept visiting and posting on my photos, even when I spent months hardly commenting on anyone's.

One doesn't remain the same after such loss. I haven't. Life is, indeed, short... and it can end from one minute to the other. I'm learning to say "I love you" more often, to give my love more often to the ones who matter.

In the last year my ambitions have also changed, I want to be happy doing what I do, I don't want to change the way I see the world and people through my lenses in order to fit where some people may think I should. Life is too short for that. I'll stand with the ones who appreciate, value, what I do.

As a person, I'll stand with good people, the strong in character, the ones who know the value of friendship, love. I want to be the best person I can, honor the man my father was and everything he taught me.

I learned so much from him, he was a Genuine Good, Unselfish, Loving Person. A Real Father, Husband, Son, Brother, Friend. A Great Man, with an amazing Character (one either has it or not, there's no mid term for that) a man of his Word. He was so Unique, died young... full of plans, full of life. The World is a sadder place without him.

It's with tears going down that I dedicate this self portrait to Him, who was never afraid to show the ones he loved how much he cared, who helped others, who raised his family with all his heart, love, tenderness. A man I'll miss till the end of my life.

A composite of 1 wideangle image and several moon shoots, merged in PS.

The moon is way bigger here than it was in reality. This gives you more detail on the different phases.

The spot of the wide angle view and the moon images is exactly the same even though the angle is slighty different
