Re: Challenge #58:"Fairy Wings of Insects"-submissions until 20 September 2015

This is an old one but technically it was very challenging (captured this hoverfly in the air from the front. notice the motion blur at the wings. The short flashlight was not enough to freeze it), therefore one of my favorites :

Freelensing

Few days ago I’ve visited Sweden for a short business trip. Between two events I had a bit of time for sightseeing and photography.

Re: Challenge #57- Evaluations / Reviews Thread-Winner Chosen

Yildiz,

Many thanks for the thorough analyses of the photos. I've read only few of them (including my ones) but I will read them all. I find them very useful. Thanks again for your efforts.

Re: Challenge #57:"So Green Is My Valley"-submissions until July 5th

Two recent photos taken in Bohemian Switzerland. My two kids are playing in the background but I focused more to the foreground let them in the blured distance. It was a great few days there: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/262/19349445121_78f07ab521_b.jpg https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3888/1931936362...

Re: Flowers 2015

I was not so active here recently. I thought I will share some of my recent flower (Calla) photos. As always, I tried to play with the light: https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/319/18738032311_8518eb3b68_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/272/18738031761_3a1f40797a_b.jpg https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/53...
