Beware of the Devil Horse!!!!

This thing was wondering around my backyard. It is huge, about 3" long (6.6cm), and that is a medium size one. I was trying to piss him off because when they get threatened, they flare out their wings, which are blood red. He didn't want to have anything to do with me.

Do yu not see it? I see it. Hmmm?

bigboi - I can see the photo which means its likely that your current network is blocking images from the host of the photos (appears to be another photography forum if you rightclick and check the url) if you're at work its likely similar for some other image hosts online as well.

As for the photos its certainly a big bug, but they look a little soft around the details - out of interest what was the setup and settings you used for the photo?

I don't have that info with me, but if I remember correctly, it was 300 zoom, 1/400 5.6 ISO 400 (maybe 800), tripod mounted but no remote button.

OK, I have the info now

The first shot settings were ISO 800, 1/400, F5.6, 220 focal length

The second shot settings were ISO 800, 1/400, F5.0, 220 Focal length

Both shot in live view, 10X focus on the eyes
