Awesome pic. What's causing the light from the left ?

Awesome pic. What's causing the light from the left ?

Thanks.
Its a street light unfortunately. It does help sometimes to lighten up the foreground but can be a pain at other times. Also the light patch in the distance with the pylons is a nearby village.

Mine for today. A brief stay with Al (formerly the Big Lebowski of this parish) to help him set up a camp for an overnighter tonight. I helped by watching him do it. He retorted with this picture of me... err.. relaxing.

I couldn't stay because work had me on the late shift tonight.

Just tried creating some water droplets using the flash and my macro lens today.

Very simple to set up and then it is all about timing.

Great shots. Would make good desktop wallpaper.

Lovely pictures Andy. I would like to see how you set things up for these shots.

Cannot compare with your three but here are three I took while out on a bimble in my woods today.

Hung up Pheasant

A spider about the size of a 5 pence piece

Finally got a good close up of an Ash bud

 

[Macaroon]

That's a great shot of the ashbud..............they're all good but that's a brammer

 

[Harvestman]

Those are nice. The spider is a Metellina, one of the false orb weavers. A female. Can't say to species.

Here's a bit of playing about. A shot of the spoil heaps above Blaenavon. It sometimes feels barren as a Martian landscape up there, so I tried for a red mars effect.

I'm increasingly playing with my pictures, and it is fun.

Heck of a macro Alf!

Love these last two.

First one reminds me of the movie Total Recall and the last one from the original Superman movie

Crested TinPecker:
sadly not edible but the trees they are found on make for excellent tinder shavings
