Rose Petal Detail by hokiealumnus, on Flickr

EDIT - Interesting....someone from a production company doing work for National Geographic was interested in one of my photos for a montage in a documentary. Sounds great right??

Not great. Not at all. Not only are they not paying, they want the full resolution photo, complete rights to use it as they please and...wait for it...they aren't even going to credit it. Sorry Nat Geo (it was legit, they sent a contact between the photog & National Geographic), you can send someone out there to take that photo; the location is available on any clear night. Not interested.

Cropped as this hawk never seems to hover below ~50 metres

Beautifully done; love that shot!

Nice one alpha!

^ Thanks, when I took that shot there were 3 others with camera's close by whilst I was there but none of them payed any attention to me/the reflections in the large water covered grass, they seemd more intent taking pics of the actual flowers/trees

Quick Super Moon intrusion in old pic

Nice.....every shot I took of the s/moon was rubbish, too much light and too late in the night

[BenchZowner]

with the supermoon you had to increase ( fasten ) your shutter speed more than usual, and adjust the angle of your lens a little bit to avoid flaring.

[BenchZowner]

Cheers man

Single shot?!

[BenchZowner]

For the water ? Yes.
For the photo, no.
The sky was imported ( blended ) from another shooting at a remote location where the night sky is still pretty dark away from most city lights.

A bit more rain last night so went to my favorite puddle
