Last week was a mess! Due to a family emergency we drove down to Florida and spent more time in the car than we actually did in Florida. I didn't get a SINGLE photo of the beach. My husbands grandma's house has 3 ponds in the backyard and is just infested with bugs. Unfortunately, its also so shaded I had to be at iso 1600-6400 To even attempt any pictures. I also don't have a macro lens and trying to crop down when shooting my iso that high was a DISASTER! Im actually embarrassed with how bad most of the pictures turned out.
Here is the only picture that came out half decent. I caught it as we were getting in the car ready to head home. I had much higher hopes for these since I took at least 20 shots of this guy, and they looked pretty good on the LCD.
Troubles included: BRIGHT hot spot on the metal right below where he landed, I had to crop it out which seems to ruin the composition. He eventually flew onto a tall leaf, but since it was windy every time I focused the wind blew him out of the focus plane. Living in the west my entire life, I have NEVER seen a dragon fly this large. In fact, after some research, I am not sure I have even ever seen a dragon fly. Im pretty sure the ones I have seen out here are damesfly's. Anyways, Since this was the only shot that came out from the entire trip I figured I would share it, to make myself feel better about my failure. :Giggle: Honestly, I feel like 90% of my failures lately could be remedied with just a little more time to focus on the shot. That is probably my own fault though. Time to SLOW down I think.
C&C welcome and appreciated
