cicada- wings almost full DSC06333aw

A wonderful series.  So, this whole event took place in about 10 minutes? (looking at camera times)  Although the difference between your Canon and Sony clocks threw me off for a minute (pun intended) ;-)... Mike

Hi Mike,

Glad you like it- yes,  it was probably about 10 mins of shooting - (a lot of shots can be taken in that time span :) anyway, as in many wildlife docs- these weren't all the same guy. There were tons of them all around, so many stages at the same time. I don't really have time to spend shooting, so it was handy..thanks nature! In fact it took longer to process them than to shoot them.

I usually get your innuendo, but this time (pun intended) I didn't get the reference to Sony/Canon time??

The cicadas are in full force now, and the noise is amazing.

Cheers,

G

My assumption was that it was the same bug, and if so the timeline didn't match it's maturation.  That's when I noted two different cameras and, again, the assumption that their clocks are slightly different.  No biggy, just Friday and a few minutes spare to let the old mind wander ;-)... Mike

Nice, but I think a bit of cropping off the left side would help with the composition.

Mike,

Ah! No, Sony camera, + Canon lens.

Thanks, Doug.
