DavidTriplett Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 This is the additional weekly image thread for the Nature Forum. While images posted to this thread should still be nature in theme, it may contain a small amount of human-made objects and therefore less restricted than the Monday in Nature threads. Please see this discussion for more details: Alternative weekly thread in Nature forum Each participant please post no more than just one image per weekly thread. This week's first post is a fossil dinosaur track discovered alongside a lonesome highway in south-central Utah. There are a number of these in the area, including one in the roof of a coal mine tunnel. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Parsons Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Beautiful detail and very pleasing colors. Would you please post some of the technical details - lens, camera, exposure, etc. Disposition of the critter? Pentax K20d, Sigma 105mm macro lens,1/180 second, 100 ISO, f11, on camera flash, hand-held, very minor trimming and sharpening of image in PP. According to Collins, a 'Heart and Dart' moth, named after markings on wings, about 2cm long, Habitat : Downland and dunes (so why on a desk in Norwich ?). Disposition ? Seemed friendly enough, wasn't worried by flash (this image was part of a series), flew off towards the room light after a few minutes.
