Re: From your garden/backyard
My favourite is the clear wing - the light/sharpening (?) isn't as harsh on this one. Plus it's a real treat to see it - we have nothing like that in our garden! A Green Veined White on 'Jack by the Hedge' (Alliaria petiolata) which is one of its food plants. We try to grow plants that are useful to...

Re: From your garden/backyard
Thanks for the kind comments on the 'spadgers'. I like the cat pictures - very nice exposures on the whites. Apart from the white on the face she is more or less identical to my second cat that I had for about 23 years. The first lasted around 18 years. Since my interest in wildlife I won't have ano...

Re: From your garden/backyard
Ditto to Birma ! And never forget - it's not just bees that pollinate. And all invertebrates are worth photographing and appreciating. Even 'ordinary' flies are little marvels of ingenuity!

Re: From your garden/backyard
Love the little frog! Nice image, too
From the garden this week. This little solitary bee cuts little semi circular pieces of leaf to use as cell linings for the larvae.

Re: Birds 2013
More great action shots here! I didn't know whether to put these on the new thread "From the Garden' as they are and they're nothing remarkably unusual. I do enjoy watching and photographing all the birds in the garden, whether common or unusual. These Woodpigeons have been particularly enterta...

Re: I gave in...........
Excellent shots. Exposure/clarity etc are faultless. #1 and #4 are the outstanding ones. If I were pushed on a constructive criticism I would say that the obvious sharpness and technical ability didn't demand such a close crop/framing. A bit of room around the plane and especially, space for it to '...

Re: Raod side on the way to Anchorage, Alaska.
Well, Sury - you don't half get about in the world! From India to Anchorage. I'm so jealous! :wink: I'd say the purple fringing could be the lens/whether it were clean/compatible and the fact the light situation wasn't right. If the light situation isn't right, and all of our knowledge of how to cou...

It looks a bit bigger than our leaves - some kind of palm? It's a very interesting image .bakubo wrote:It is just a big, dead leaf hanging from a tree.Wildieswife wrote:Interesting images, Bakubo - I'm still trying to puzzle out what that first one is?

Re: From your garden/backyard
Glad to be of some sort of inspiration! Thankyou, Suri, for the mention. I think my favourites of yours are the yellow roses - you certainly have some very colourful blooms there. :) I do a lot of my photography in the garden - birds/flowers/frogs/invertebrates. As long as it isn't pouring with rain...

The humble daisy. I like them so much that I often mow the lawn around them, just as my much loved late Dad used to
