stemked Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 <p>Hi All.</p> <p>A repeat image here, but I have a reason. <br> On and off for the last three years I've entered Indiana's primer nature photography without much success. (the competition is REALLY outstanding) <br /> Anyway you are only allowed to enter three images in this contest so I was delighted this year I received awards for two images, one for a Tui (the bird) from New Zealand and the other a Fleishmann's Glass frog from Costa Rica.</p> <p>Small miracles DO happen!</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18086495-lg.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="900" /><br> Tui, North Island, New Zealand. Pentax K3, Sigma 400mm f4.6 APO (Version 2).</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/18025245-md.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="451" /><br> Fleishman's Glass Frog, La Fortuna, Costa Rica. Pentax K3 100 DAW f2.8 macro</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorus Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 <p>Very happy with these <strong>kingfishers</strong> on my first outing with the Sigma 50-500mm<br> .<br> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/sized_IMGP1356_zps5ycrdmnf.jpg" alt="" width="1023" height="1024" /><br> .<br> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/sized_IMGP1407_zps5xqthcuu.jpg" alt="" width="794" height="1024" /><br> .<br> <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/dorus/sized_IMGP1534_zpspkgdnfe4.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="678" />.<br> However : the real challenge is to catch them while hunting, that's far more difficult, as the above picture demonstrates....<br> .</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stemked Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 <p>Thanks Bob! Thanks Harry!</p> <p>Love the lavender Bob, great perspective.</p> <p>Fire Department right next to the Mexican restaurant, hmm. Sure it's not just an ad for how spicy the place is?<br> Clearly the 50-500 out performs the 150-500 which I have, stunning photos, you really show what that lens can do. Our common Kingfisher here in the US is so flighty that I have very few decent photos of them. This wasn't from a blind, was it? </p> <p>Tim-nice anole. When I lived in Houston around my school they were everywhere. Some girls in my class used to catch them, let them bite their ears and wear them like earnings (at least for a minute or two)</p> <p>Duane-it does look like Star Wars is in full force (no pun intended). Already everywhere. They might just say December whatever that they have enough money from all the merchandise and aren't even going to play the flick!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anirbanbanerjee Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 <p>Some great photos this week! Here is one from the south-west coast (Arabian Sea) of India. Tamron 28-75/2.8. With my old K-100D because the K-50 ran out of battery.</p> <p><a title="Work" href=" data-flickr-embed="true"><img src="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5808/21328600016_e89139138a_b.jpg" alt="Work" width="1024" height="683" /></a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorus Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 <p>Anirban : your photo is not visible (being a former India-traveller I'm always keen on your images)<br> Yes Douglas, the kingfisher photos were taken from a hut in a reservation called Oostvaarders plassen<br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O99sS6K7RU <br> it's somewhat cheating, but it does deliver nice pics :)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snik75 Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 <p>So many interesting nature shots this week! And people pics too. I revisited the bee location with just my DA 20-40; useful close-up in a pinch! (No crop just levels - its not a macro lens but not bad).</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
